The president-elect distanced himself from Project 2025 during his campaign, calling parts of it "ridiculous and abysmal."

Summary

Donald Trump, once critical of Project 2025—a conservative policy agenda led by the Heritage Foundation—has softened his stance, calling parts of it “very conservative and very good.”

Despite distancing himself from the 900-page plan during his campaign, Trump has nominated key contributors to his second administration, including Russ Vought and Brendan Carr.

Critics claim this signals alignment with the project’s goals, which include expanding executive power and limiting civil service protections.

Trump denies full involvement, while Democrats and watchdog groups argue the initiative reflects his broader conservative agenda.

    Realistically, what is it going to take?

    Do I need to run for office, claim I’m going to launch all of our nukes at all of our cities/rural areas like an absolute moron, be the equivalent of a person giving a speach/DJ remix, just so once I’m elected for being an absolute dumbfuck, I can finally pass a godamn healthcare and wage bill?

    Is this where we are at? Is this what good has to look like now?

      I mean 2 Thessalonians 2 talks about this in the end times. Its prophetic.

      2 Th 2:11 Therefore God sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe what is false, 12 in order that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
