#Trump has *claimed* he does not know what it is or who is involved, though he does indeed know many of the people involved. Perhaps more importantly, his #policy plans [more] often [than not] align w/what’s in the project.
By seeking to #influence Trump, #Project2025 – which counts >100 *#conservative* groups as supporters & contributors – probably poisoned #Heritage & its allies’ chances of forming part of Trump’s inner circle & potential next admin
by claiming it could #influence a man who hates to see himself as influenced by others [but don’t count on that, it takes a few ass-kisses & flattering statements & #Trump will be totes cool to let you lick his boots]. Other thinktanks that kept their hands clean of the #power struggle could instead become more influential, though it would be difficult, or impossible, to staff thousands of political jobs w/people who have NO ties to #Heritage or #Project2025.
Could it actually happen?
Outside grps always hope to #influence presidents. #Heritage has put together & released a version of the Mandate for Leadership every 4 yrs since #Reagan’s 1st term. Why did this one catch fire? For 1, they wrote it all down & released it publicly, w/splashy online presence & #media appearances.…They publicly called it a plan for “institutionalizing #Trumpism”
…in recent months I have repeatedly warned that Russian #tyrant & #WarCriminal #Putin intended to mess w/the #US #election to help #Trump once again.… This wk, …the #DOJ outlined elaborate schemes mounted by covert Moscow operators to #influence the 2024 election. But… the feds declined to explicitly state the obvious:The #Kremlin efforts have been designed & mounted to aid Trump’s bid to regain #power.”
