For Donald Trump's second term, if he wins in November, the Heritage Foundation has put together a 900-page plan. Among other things, it wants to replace civil workers with political appointees and make a lot of other changes to strengthen the executive arm of government. There is a lot of angry speech behind the facts. The initiative's leader said this week that the right-wing think tank is "taking the country back" and that "we are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left lets it be." The attempt has gotten a lot of notice and criticism. According to Axios, Trump denied it on Friday by saying, "I know nothing about Project 2025."
"I do not know who is doing it." "Some of the things they are saying are ridiculous and awful, and I do not agree with some of them," Trump wrote on his Truth Social page. "Anything they do, I wish them luck, but I have nothing to do with them." Behind Project 2025 is clear: it includes many people in the Trump administration, including John McEntee, who is one of his closest staff members. He also got names of possible Supreme Court choices from the Heritage Foundation after Trump promised to take their advice. Trump's approach is to say he does not know someone who is getting bad press. Business Insider once made a list of people, including Britain's Prince Andrew, he said he did not know after saying he did.
