Donald Trump has lately made clear he wants little to do with Project 2025, the conservative blueprint for the next Republican president that has attracted considerable blowback in his race for the White House.

“I have no idea who is behind it,” the former president recently claimed on social media.

Many people Trump knows quite well are behind it.

Six of his former Cabinet secretaries helped write or collaborated on the 900-page playbook for a second Trump term published by the Heritage Foundation. Four individuals Trump nominated as ambassadors were also involved, along with several enforcers of his controversial immigration crackdown. And about 20 pages are credited to his first deputy chief of staff.

In fact, at least 140 people who worked in the Trump administration had a hand in Project 2025, a CNN review found, including more than half of the people listed as authors, editors and contributors to “Mandate for Leadership,” the project’s extensive manifesto for overhauling the executive branch.

When asked who ate all the donuts Trump, mouth visibly covered in powdered sugar, said he wasn’t sure, but he wished them well.

And he sure hopes ~~he's~~ they're wearing a diaper when it starts to become an issue.

He'd probably blame illegal immigrants

I don't think that's clear at all. He clearly doesn't want anyone to think he's directly responsible for it, and honestly that much is probably true (seriously, does anyone think he's forward-thinking enough to come up with any of it?). But I don't think he's said at all that he wouldn't go along with it if elected.

Sounds like he should take one of those IQ tests he keeps talking about.

This guy is like a deranged one legged gerbil crawling toward your lunch from a mile away. You see him with binoculars and he has several busy streets and predators along the way. You chuckle - the poor bastard won't make it 50 feet. With no sense of cunning, agility, or wit he flops along in your general direction somehow avoiding what seemed like self-evident destruction, and all the sudden you look up in panic and the mother fucker is about to eat your lunch. I hate this fucking gerbil.

Nobody serious is entertaining this bullshit from the man that will 100% say, "I've never met my own son" once one of those goofy fuckers gets their's in court.

Wow he can't remember that? He's too old, the dementia is getting the best of him. He needs to drop out.

He doesn't support it because it wasn't "his idea". He'll do the exact same shit (or nearly exact. Probably some extra stupid bullshit in there and maybe a pinch less Christian nationalism if we're lucky since he doesn't give a shit about religion beyond using it to get him votes), but call it something different and say he came up with it. Either way, it's the same outcome.
