'Why would they do that?' Trump lashes out at conservatives who imperiled his election

Raw Story  

In an interview with Time magazine linked to his being selected 2024's "Person of the Year," President-elect Donald Trump attacked the people behind Project 2025 for releasing their document before the election.

They complicated my election by doing it because people tried to tie me and I didn't agree with everything in there, and some things I vehemently disagreed with, and I thought it was inappropriate that they would come out with a document like that prior to my election." After being assured his frustration was understood, Trump refused to let it go and added, "These are people that would like to see me win.
