Trump claims he has 'nothing to do' with Project 2025. Voters don't buy that.

My VP has close, personal ties with the author of Project 2025, but I don't know what you're talking about.

I have absolutely no doubt he has/had nothing to do with it. He has nothing to do with any policy decisions. The “best people” he surrounds himself with handle that stuff. That and the foreign leaders who do favors for him and offer policy suggestions.

That said, I also have no doubt he will happily, blindly even, implement the project because all those “best people” will suggest that he do it.

It doesn’t matter if trump had anything to do with the creation or development of project 2025.

Project 2025 has everything to do with him though. It needs him to be elected. He’s a useful idiot for those who did write it.

He can’t dodge the fact that this is an albatross around his neck.

No, but many of the 500 Republicans that are now endorsing Harris did. How much time must we wait for quid pro quo?
