Donald Trump claimed in a Truth Social post last week to "know nothing" about Project 2025 and have "no idea" who is behind the sweeping plan shaped by the conservative, Trump-aligned Heritage Foundation to stack the executive branch with MAGA loyalists and enact a litany of right-wing policies if he wins a second term.
The former president's public disavowal comes more than a year after the plan was first released, but right as it has begun to draw attention from mainstream media outlets in wake of Heritage president's Kevin Roberts' threats of a potentially bloody "second American Revolution." Trump's campaign and Project 2025 have characterized the 900-page policy blueprint as merely a set of recommendations that Trump can adopt at his discretion.
