Former President Donald Trump has tried to distance himself in recent days from the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025, despite telling the group in 2022 that they were crafting the “groundwork and detailed plans for exactly what our movement will.”
NBC News’s Vaughn Hillyard shared a clip from Trump’s keynote address at Heritage’s annual leadership conference, in which the former president said, “Our country is going to hell. The critical job of institutions such as Heritage is to lay the groundwork.”
“And Heritage does such an incredible job at that. This is a great group, and they’re going to lay the groundwork and detailed plans for exactly what our movement will do and what your movement will do when the American people give us a colossal mandate to save America. And that’s coming, that’s coming,” Trump declared.
The Heritage Foundation and its Project 2025 have been front and center in the 2024 presidential campaign as Democrats sound the alarm over the plan.
Project 2025 is a sweeping 920-page plan that would reshape the U.S. government and institute many of the hard right’s long-sought-after desires, including more limits on abortion, abolishing the Department of Education, ending workplace protections for LGBTQ people, limiting the U.S. role in NATO, and a dramatic build-up of nuclear weapons.
NBC News reported on Project 2025’s designs for reshaping the federal workforce:
"The proposal’s most dramatic shift would be to reclassify thousands of federal jobs, allowing Trump to fire career employees and replace them with his picks. This would be the most dramatic shift in the federal workforce since the 1880s, when reformers ended the partisan “spoils system,” which led to incompetence, graft and corruption within federal agencies."
