Former president Donald Trump sought Friday to distance himself from a conservative think tank’s plan, known as Project 2025, for the next Republican presidency, as Democrats work to make it a political vulnerability for Trump in the November election.

Is Johnny McEntee mentioned in this article? Does this article mention that everything Trump says is an obvious lie? Or are you taking this seriously?

Where's the word 'FALSELY' in your framing??? Jesus christ, 9 years after his escalator ride, and you're STILL just normalizing his deranged ass. Democracy dies in credulous framing & journalists just taking the dictation from obvious liars.

Sure sure, he knows NOTHING about P2025, despite praising parts of it for months. And we're still also waiting on that "big and beautiful" ACA replacement plan. And his taxes. etc. etc. etc. 1,000 times, etc. It's almost as if lying is like breathing for the piece of shit or something.

He can only succeed if members of the media do not fact check and fact crusade. That's where we are folks. Average Americans can do the same thing. Fact crusading is pretty easy. Copy link to legitimate source and share.

His closest allies are all involved with Project 2025, but I guess that doesn't matter because Trump has proven to be SO trustworthy, right?

It's not a 'conservative' think tank; its head has said that implementing their far-right agenda would only be "bloodless" if "the left allows it to be." The project demands the remaking of govt agencies into a tool of party power. The word you are looking for is 'fascist'.

Project 2025 is “a remarkably detailed guide to turning the United States into a fascist’s paradise.” The primary document of Project 2025 lays out what is essentially a “Christian nationalist vision of the United States.”

I sure hope you follow up on this. Stephen Miller also is attempting to distance himself, despite appearing in Project 2025 training videos. We need serious investigative journalism into how tightly tied Project 2025 and its anti-American plans are to the Trump administration.

It’s a better article than the headline makes it seem, as they do, indeed, make it clear that at least *some* former staffers are involved (but not the amazing list I’ve seen posted). But it’s still pretty tepid.
