Trump Disavows 'Severe Right' Project 2025 as 'Extreme' for Fourth Time

Jul 20, 2024, 10:56 PM

Former President Donald Trump has publicly disavowed Project 2025, labeling it as an initiative by the 'severe right' and equating it to the 'radical left.' During a rally in Michigan, Trump stated, 'I don't know anything about it. I don't want to know anything about it,' and described the project as 'extreme.' He emphasized his lack of involvement and knowledge about the project, despite acknowledging that he knows some of the people behind it. Trump's repeated disavowal marks the fourth time he has distanced himself from Project 2025, which he criticized as being orchestrated by radical conservatives.
