What is Project 2025 and what does it have to do with Trump? Here’s what the plan for a conservative government in the USA looks like.
Democrats speak out against Project 2025, while Trump denies any link to the plan; but what is it all about? Here are the key points.
“Project 2025″ has become one of the main talking points ahead of the November 5 general election; but what exactly is it all about? Here’s what is known about it.
What is “Project 2025″?
Project 2025″ is a 900+ page handbook for the next presidential administration. Through it, several recommendations are outlined for the transition that comes with the change of government.
What does “Project 2025″ have to do with Donald Trump?
Given that the project was developed by The Heritage Foundation, a U.S. conservative organization; Democrats have begun to associate it with Donald Trump. However, the former president has revealed to be unaware of this “guide”, while his campaign seeks to completely disassociate itself from it due to its extremism.
“I have no idea who is behind this. I don’t agree with some of the things they’re saying and some of the things they’re saying are absolutely ridiculous and abysmal. Whatever they do, I wish them luck, but I have nothing to do with them,” Trump wrote via his social network, Truth Social.
Backing up Trump’s statements, a spokesperson for the project revealed to Business Insider that the manual “does not speak on behalf of any candidate or campaign.” But what exactly is said in Project 2025 and why has it caused so much controversy?
Key points of Project 2025: Here’s the plan for a conservative government in the U.S.
Project 2025 is composed of four pillars: a policy guide to be followed for the next term, the creation of a database to consider the servants who could continue in the next administration, training for those officials under the concept of “Presidential Management Academy” and a manual to take actions during the first 180 days of government.
So far, it is the policy guide that has attracted the most attention, as many of the proposals outlined border on conservative extremism.
Among the key points of Project 2025 are the restoration of the family as the centerpiece of American life; defending the country’s sovereignty and borders at all costs; and greater restrictions on abortion to defend “God-given individual rights.”
