Project 2025 — the Republicans’ 900-page plan to burn down the federal government, impose Christian Nationalism policies on the nation, and expand Donald Trump’s presidential powers if he wins a second term — is a polling disaster.

The more voters learn about it, the more they reject it.

And that’s why Trump on Friday posted on social media: “I know nothing about Project 2025. I have no idea who is behind it. I disagree with some of the things they’re saying, and some of the things they’re saying are absolutely ridiculous and abysmal. Anything they do, I wish them luck, but I have nothing to do with them.”

Project 2025 would implement conservative and Christian nationalists policies regarding climate change, LGBTQ+ communities, abortion, foreign aid, education, health care, taxes and more. Few, if any, aspects of American society would escape.

Trump immediately was called on his lie — along with being mocked for saying he disagreed with an agenda he knew nothing about.

The Biden campaign posted a video of Trump shaking hands with Project 2025 mastermind, Kevin Roberts president of the ultra-conservative Heritage Foundation, whom Trump says “is doing an unbelievable job.”

The campaign posted another video that shows “Trump’s press secretary [Karoline Leavitt] is literally starring in ads for Project 2025.”

The campaign also pointed out that Trump’s “top aide and former bag boy John McEntee, is ... behind Project 2025.”

More evidence: Trump’s Super PAC is running ads, encouraging voters to “learn about Trump’s Project 2025,” and the Trump campaign chose Project 2025 leader Russ Vought to co-lead the RNC’s Platform Committee.
