Trump Disavows Heritage Foundation's Project 2025, Calls Ideas 'Ridiculous and Abysmal'; John McEntee Involved

Jul 5, 2024, 05:18 PM

Former President Donald Trump has publicly disavowed Project 2025, a conservative initiative led by the Heritage Foundation. Trump stated on his Truth Social platform that he knows nothing about the project and disagrees with some of its elements, describing certain ideas as 'ridiculous and abysmal.' Project 2025 aims to provide a roadmap for conservative policies should Trump win a second term. Despite Trump's disavowal, many individuals involved in Project 2025 are closely linked to Trump's previous administration. Notably, his Super PAC has been running ads promoting Project 2025, and John McEntee, a former aide, is a key figure behind the project. The initiative has sparked significant controversy and discussion within conservative circles, particularly after recent comments about a 'second American revolution.'
