We Need to Talk About Trump's Project 2025 & Trump's Manifesto "Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise" (1 Viewer)

[LA - L.A.]

I think Trump's Project 2025 needs it's own thread to make as many people as possible aware of it, how Trump and the people he's surrounded himself with are dead serious about making it happen, and how devastating it will be if we allow Trump to make it happen. These are the various pages on his website which should show Trump means business. Trump's not just wishing or theorizing, he's planning and implementing.

Trump and his minion's home page (the bolding is their's, not mine):

Project 2025 | Presidential Transition Project

Presidential Transition Project The 2025 Presidential Transition Project paves the way for an effective conservative Administration based on four pillars.

www.project2025.org

"It is not enough for conservatives to win elections. If we are going to rescue the country from the grip of the radical Left, we need both a governing agenda and the right people in place, ready to carry this agenda out on Day One of the next conservative Administration.​

​

This is the goal of the 2025 Presidential Transition Project. The project will build on four pillars that will, collectively, pave the way for an effective conservative Administration."​

Trump's policy agenda page:

Policy | Project 2025

This book is the product of more than 400 scholars and policy experts from across the conservative movement and around the country. Contributors include former elected officials, world-renowned economists, and veterans from four presidential Administrations. This is an agenda prepared by and for...

www.project2025.org

"This book is an invitation for you the reader—Mr. Smith, Mrs. Smith, and Ms. Smith—to come to Washington or support those who can. Our goal is to assemble an army of aligned, vetted, trained, and prepared conservatives to go to work on Day One to deconstruct the Administrative State.​

...​

The next conservative President will enter office on January 20, 2025, with a simple choice: greatness or failure. It will be a daunting test, but no more so than every other generation of Americans has faced and passed. The Conservative Promise represents the best effort of the conservative movement in 2023—and the next conservative President’s last opportunity to save our republic."​

"Please fill out the questionnaire below and upload your resume for inclusion in the Presidential Personnel Database if you would like to be considered for positions in a presidential Administration.​

​

Project 2025 is the effort of a massive coalition of conservative organizations that have come together to ensure a successful Administration begins in January 2025. With the right conservative policy recommendations and properly vetted and trained personnel to implement them, we will take back our government. Project 2025 is being organized by The Heritage Foundation."​

Trump's training page:

"The Presidential Administration Academy is a one-of-a-kind educational and skill-building program designed to prepare and equip future political appointees now to be ready on Day One of the next conservative Administration. This academy provides aspiring appointees with the insight, background knowledge, and expertise in governance to immediately begin rolling back destructive policy and advancing conservative ideas in the federal government."​

Trump's first 180 days playbook page:

Playbook | Project 2025

The fourth pillar of Project 2025 is our 180-day Transition Playbook and includes a comprehensive, concrete transition plan for each federal agency. Only through the implementation of specific action plans at each agency will the next conservative presidential Administration be successful...

www.project2025.org

"The time is short, and conservatives need a plan. The project will create a playbook of actions to be taken in the first 180 days of the new Administration to bring quick relief to Americans suffering from the Left’s devastating policies."​

Trump's playbook, bolding mine (I've downloaded the pdf of their playbook for when Trump eventually pulls it from his website once the backlash really kicks in):

https://static.project2025.org/2025_MandateForLeadership_FULL.pdf

"This book is an invitation for you the reader—Mr. Smith, Mrs. Smith, and Ms. Smith—to come to Washington or support those who can. Our goal is to assemble an army of aligned, vetted, trained, and prepared conservatives to go to work on Day One to deconstruct the Administrative State.​

...​

This is an agenda prepared by and for conservatives who will be ready on Day One of the next Administration to save our country. The Heritage Foundation is once again facilitating this work, but as our dozens of partners and hundreds of authors will attest, this book is the work of the entire conservative movement.​

...​

The next conservative President will enter office on January 20, 2025 ... The Conservative Promise represents the best effort of the conservative movement in 2023—and the next conservative President’s last opportunity to save our republic."​

Groups include:​

• ALEC - the Koch brother's foundation that has written all of the state laws that undermine child labor protection, worker's rights, air and water pollution protections, voter's rights, government assistance programs from those that need the help, and tax codes that made sure the wealthy pay their fair share of taxes.
• Moms For Liberty - the group leading the charge to ban any book that treats anyone, who is not white, heterosexual, cis and Christian, as being equal and deserving of acceptance, tolerance and respect.
• National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation - which works for corporations to prevent and bust worker's unions to help corporations pay a non living wage to employees and force them to work under horrible conditions.
• Tea Party Patriots - the group that is MAGA and has taken control of the Republican party and supports Trump's efforts to stage a coup on Jan 6th so that he could stay in power even though he lost the election.
• Turning Point USA - run by Charlie Kirk who fully embraces Christian Nationalism and the reducing of women to just being homemakers dedicated only to serving their husbands and their family, in that order

Here are some articles and videos that give an overview of what Trump's Project 2025 plans to do if Trump wins the presidency:

A guide to Project 2025, the extreme right-wing agenda for the next Republican administration

Project 2025, a comprehensive transition plan organized by right-wing think tank The Heritage Foundation to guide the next GOP presidential administration, is the conservative movement’s most robust policy and staffing proposal for a potential second Trump White House — and its extreme agenda...

www.mediamatters.org

The Heritage Foundation cooked up this plan during the Reagan administration, but Reagan didn't let the Heritage Foundation fully implement it. Trump has claimed it for himself and has made it his plan, because it plays into the ultimate power and control that Trump wants. See the videos below.









No matter how annoying, frustrating, distasteful, or unappealing it may be, either Biden or Trump will be the next president. No one else has a chance at winning the election. If Biden wins, we have issues to solve, but we still have our democracy.

If Trump wins, we lose our democracy and have to fight for our freedom, if we aren't white, Christian, cis, heterosexual men who believe in the divine right of white, Christian, cis, heterosexual men to sit in domination over all others.

The bottom line is this, vote for Biden if you want to preserve our democracy, or don't vote for Biden if you want to chance Trump winning, which would bring an end to our democracy.

That's the grounded-in-reality choice folks, like it or not. Please vote for Biden so that we all have the freedom to live our lives how we want, to argue with each other, and to protest without fear of being imprisoned or "falling" out of window to our death.

This election is not a drill, it's the real deal.

I'm sure MAGA world thinks it would be very great for the country guaranteed to be among the greatest documents America has ever produced, right next to the constitution and art of the deal
================


Even though former President Donald Trump has tried to distance himself from the far-right Heritage Foundation's authoritarian Project 2025 playbook for the next Republican administration, his own daughter-in-law is now undercutting those efforts.

In a recent interview on The Blaze's Pat Gray Unleashed podcast, Lara Trump — who is also co-chair of the Republican National Committee – agreed with the host that Democrats' criticism of the 920-page policy blueprint was overblown. As progressive group Media Matters for America reported, Gray downplayed the attacks on Project 2025 as "some sort of kookery" and countered that the policy proposals he's seen in the document "are pretty reasonable."

"I mean, these are things that just make sense for the conservative party," Gray said. "Is that something that Donald feels it's necessary to distance himself from?"

"Well, I think you're right there are some ideas in there that are very productive and will be great for this country," Lara Trump said. "There are some ideas in there that might be a little more extreme, and the problem is Donald Trump hasn't had anything to do with Project 2025. This is a think tank."

The claim that her father-in-law "hasn't had anything to do with Project 2025" may be partially true in that the former president hasn't played a role in actively crafting the policies in the playbook. However, she's being misleading in her assertions of Trump's total ignorance of the extremist proposals listed in the document. As Russ Vought of the Center for Renewing America — a key partner of Project 2025 — said to two undercover journalists, Trump has given his full support to those behind the comprehensive policy outline...........

I’m guessing the crowd sizes and enthusiasm is right up there as well.

we know if his idiot followers embraced 2025 he would be toting it out every chance he gets.

 

[LA - L.A.]

I’m guessing the crowd sizes and enthusiasm is right up there as well.

For Trump personally, probably so. For everyone else in is campaign, I think Project 2025 is their biggest concern.

What’s a Pat Gray? And Lara Trump is, shall we say, a lying sack.

Thanks for reminding me.

There is something wrong with people who hate dogs and cats. Something deeply wrong with them.

You can't fool pets. I have had 3 dogs and currently have 2 cats and they always in some ways understand most people immediately. They would always disappear when my nieces husband was in the house (hates any animal and dont want to be around them. Think they are "dirty") On the other hand they would always sit close to my grandmother when she was still alive, taking great care of not tripping her and were very gentle when they approached her.

Trump is mentally damaged. Animals can feel that and will stay far away from him. They have a very good sense of when a person has a cruel streak.

 

[Bigdaddysaints]

i think it was Bill Murray that said "I'm suspicious of people who don't like dogs, but I trust a dog when it doesn't like a person"
And it is usually a good instinct...

I like cats but I am a dog person. Regarding reading humans the thousands of years of evolution have allowed dogs to “read” people. They watch and see non-verbal cues.

I get so angry when someone mistreats any animal.

Dogs can also smell hormones which gives them a lot of information about a persons emotional state. A person born without the capacity to feel fear and/or empathy is usually a destructive person. Dogs can smell if a person doesn't have any fear or empathy, because both effect our hormone levels. The same is true for aggression.

Cats have the same abillity. After having 3 dogs over a period of almost 34 years and knowing that we did not have time and energy enough to get a new puppy so we decided to go pet free since we were not cat "people"

Then we got a mouse problem which the exterminator could not solve after trying for months. Went to the shelter to pick up a small quiet female cat and came home with a big Tom When we put down the transport box in the cat enclosure he just walked right ind and kind of looked at us with this "Are we going?" look. We had him for almost 12 years and he definitely turned me into a "cat lady" and could wrap my husband around his paw any day. It was a tough day the day we needed to put him to sleep due to cancer. The 2 cats we have now are definitely very much aware of whatever mood you are in and will often know if you are comming down with a cold or similar long before you know it yourself lol Oh.. And the cat got rid of the mouse problem in a week

If you believe the words coming directly from his mouth, then please consider these:

“Get out and vote, just this time. You won’t have to do it any more. Four more years, you know what? It’ll be fixed, it’ll be fine, you won’t have to vote any more, my beautiful Christians.” - No attribute needed, this is recent and well documented.

“A massive fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the constitution.”

“We will pass critical reforms making every executive branch employee fireable by the president of the United States,” Trump said. “The deep state must and will be brought to heel.” https://www.axios.com/2022/07/22/trump-presidency-schedule-f-federal-employees

So he wants to swamp the swamp, not drain the swamp. He wants to place people in any civil service job with a person more loyal to Trump than they are to the United States.

We also know of his claim to want to be a dictator on day one, to close the border and drill baby drill, but after that he doesn't want to be a dictator. Too many issues on that one. He blocked the bi-partisan border bill and we already drill more oil now than in any point in American history and are by far the biggest oil producer in the world.

So just listen to his words, this isn't conspiracy theory. It's his words. Words that he said out of his mouth. Is he lying/joking when he says these things? Then is he lying/joking when he says that he "knows nothing about Project 2025?"

I don't believe a single thing he says. He and his followers are the single biggest threat to democracy in our lifetime.

Cool. So where does he endorse or say anything project 2025, besides distance himself from it?

As for your other quotes, I like them and agree with them.

 

[Farb]

The fact that Trump and his minions are desperately trying to deflect from Trump's Project 2025 means Trump and his minions know that Trump's Project 2025 is a real problem for Trump.

There are very fine people on both sides......of project 2025

 

[coldseat]

So do yo like that Trump is "distancing" himself from Project 2025? From your posting history here, I assumed that you would want him to do everything that's in Project 2025. Or are you okay with him "distancing" himself from Project 2025 because you know that if he wins the people he puts in charge will carry it out anyway?

 

[SaintRob]

Cool. So where does he endorse or say anything project 2025, besides distance himself from it?

Wait...

You agree with "the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the constitution” and "making every executive branch employee fireable by the president of the United States"?

Why do you agree with these insane ramblings? Are you saying that you blindly agree with Trump over country?

You posted the entire quote. Try reading the beginning first and then you might understand. Maybe.

 

[LA - L.A.]

There are very fine people on both sides......of project 2025

I don't judge people as fine or not. I judge their actions instead. There is nothing fine about the actions that Trump and his minions have laid out in Trump's Project 2025 plans. It's completely fascist, oppressive, and anti-American.

If Trump wins, he and his minions will enact Trump's Project 2025 and destroy America as we all know it. You may think that's fine, but the overwhelming majority of us Americans do not think there's anything the least bit fine about it.

You're not as witty or clever as you seem to think you are. Not saying, just saying.

 

[SaintRob]

You posted the entire quote. Try reading the beginning first and then you might understand. Maybe.

“A massive fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the constitution.”

The beginning of the quote is left off, because there was no "massive fraud of this type and magnitude" meaning that "the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the constitution" is the important part. You are taking his lie as a truth, so maybe you might understand why I question you siding with Trump over country.

Do you really believe his lie? Every state attested to election integrity. Every. Single. State. We know that there was not massive fraud of any type or magnitude to overturn an election. It's fact. Because Trump said it's not, you take it for gospel and side with him over fact and country. Why? How do you not understand this?

They are doing everything they can to deflect P2025, even in this forum, “conspiracy theory”, lol.
