Trump Lies And Says He Knows Nothing About Project 2025

Voters are finally starting to learn about The Heritage Foundation's Project 2025 plan, and they aren't happy about it. This backlash caused Donald Trump to claim on Truth Social on Friday that he "knows nothing" about it, but he wishes them well. Not only is that NOT what you say if you know nothing about something, but there are plenty of receipts to show that Trump and his campaign are neck deep in the project. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what's happening.

Last Tuesday, Kevin Roberts, the leader of the Heritage Foundation, which of course is the group behind Project 2025, didn't interview on real America's voice where he said that we are currently in the middle of the second American Revolution. And it will of course, remain bloodless, provided the left allows it to be bloodless. After those comments on Tuesday, it kind of sparked a nationwide interest in just what the hell is Project 2025 And the more the public learned about it, the more they hated it, which of course this past Friday sparked Donald Trump to get on truth, social and completely say that he has nothing to do with anything regarding Project 2025, although he wishes them well. Here's what he said. I know nothing about Project 2025. I have no idea who's 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.

Everything about that statement other than him, of course, wishing them luck is complete and total BS the 900 page Project 2025 Manifesto. Festo mentions Donald Trump, uh, how many times has he mentioned in that? Uh, 270 times he has mentioned by name in it 270 times now to mention the fact that his super PAC is currently running ads promoting Project 2025. Not to mention the fact that his own press secretary is featured heavily in those ads talking about Project 2025. Not to mention the fact that Trump himself has said of, uh, uh, Kevin Roberts, again, leader the Heritage Foundation. He has said quote is doing an unbelievable job. Uh, Trump's top eight and former bag boy John McKenty, is behind Project 2025. Um, Trump's super PAC is running the ads he's mentioned 270 times in their leadership document called Mandate for Leadership. He knows everything about Project 20, 20 25, excuse me.

And he and his campaign are heavily involved in it. His good buddy Steve Bannon, before he went to prison last week, has been promoting it for months and months and months. There is no way in hell Trump didn't know about this. He's absolutely lying through his teeth. Not to mention the fact when you say like, I know nothing about it, I disagree with some of the things. Oh, okay. So you do know some of the things. You can't know nothing and still know about it. So you've already contradicted yourself in that statement and then you contradict contradict yourself once again when you say that. But I wish them luck in anything they do really, because the sentence before that you said some of the things are ridiculous, a abysmal,

And then you immediately say, but hey, I hope they succeed in everything they do. He knows about it. He is behind it. He has helped craft it. Project 2025 for anybody who has been living under a rock for the last six months, of course, is the plan by the Heritage Foundation that would replace tens of thousands of government employees from every government agency and replace them with Trump loyalists so that there are no checks on Trump's power if he gets back into the White House, which means that immunity ruling from last week suddenly does become the scariest thing in the world because he'll do whatever the hell he wants and there won't be a soul left in the federal government on the executive side to tell him no.
