'This is false': Trump's denial of Project 2025 involvement torn to pieces

Raw Story  

Former President Donald Trump last week frantically denied that he had any knowledge or involvement in Project 2025, the radical right-wing plan to completely dismantle the administrative state and vastly expand the power of the executive branch. However, progressive journalist Judd Legum has written a lengthy takedown explaining why Trump's denials of all knowledge about Project 2025 are simply not believable. In addition to this, writes Legum, more than two-third of Project 2025's authors "served as members of the Trump administration" and "another Project 2025 author, Stephen Moore, was nominated by Trump to the Federal Reserve but forced to withdraw 'over his past inflammatory writings about women.'" In addition to all this, Legum shows that Trump has openly embraced many of the ideas in the past that were pushed by the Heritage Foundation, the right-wing think tank that is behind Project 2025.
