Trump Suddenly LOVES Project 2025 After Swearing He Knew Nothing About It

Donald Trump spent much of his presidential campaign disavowing Project 2025, frequently telling the world that he knew nothing about it and didn’t support it. But now that he doesn’t feel the need to lie about it anymore, he admitted during a recent interview that he loves it and thinks it is a “very conservative” blueprint for governing. He lied his face off during the campaign and hopes that nobody remembers that, as Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains.

Back in July, Donald Trump proudly announced to the world, quote, 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. That is what Donald Trump posted in July of 2024. I don't know anything about this group. Some of it's okay. Most of it is crap. Why are they doing this? Horrible people? I don't even know what it is. Never heard of it. Now, we all knew back then it was a lie. 'cause he was on video two years prior, uh, praising the director of the Heritage Foundation saying that he was actually working on the blueprint for his next administration. So it was a lie when he said he didn't know anything about it. Fast forward to this year when Donald Trump was named Times Person of the Year and they did that interview with him, and during that interview, Donald Trump talked about how cool Project 2025 really is here, is what Trump said during that interview.

I don't disagree with everything in Project 2025, but I disagree with some things. I specifically didn't wanna read it because it wasn't under my auspices and I wanted to be able to say that, you know, the only way I can say I have nothing to do with it is if you don't read it. I don't want, I didn't want to read it. I read enough about it. They have some things that are very conservative and very good. They have other things that I don't like. He speaks like he is writing a children's book, short little sentences, lots of repetition, but that just shows you where his brain is at. This man is operating at about an 8-year-old level. Okay, that's scary enough. But he continues. I won't go into individual items, but I had nothing to do with Project 2025. Now, if we had a few people that were involved, they had hundreds of them.

This is a big document from what I understand. It's a big document. It's like 900 pages. Oh my God. That's like five books. And there's not even any pictures that he couldn't read it. But then he lets this slip. They complicated my election by doing it because people tried to tie me and I didn't agree with a and with everything in there and some things I, I, I vehemently disagreed with and, and I thought it was inappropriate that they would come out with a document like that prior to my election. I thought it was a very foolish thing for them to do. So that's why you tried to distance yourself from it, because you know how bad it is. Yet your staffers were a part of it. Your staffers actually made videos while working for you, promoting Project 2025, and now you're just like, yeah. I mean, some of 'em were there, but hey, there were lots of people there and hey, I actually like it. It's pretty good and cool and great and wonderful and very conservative. He's pretending that he

Didn't know anything about it, even though now he admits that. Yeah, he actually likes most of it. Some things he disagrees with. What things like that should have been the next question, right? Shouldn't the reporter who was talking to him for being the person of the year have said, well, what do you disagree with? Make these people explain themselves. That's what you do when somebody says something like, oh man, this is just a bad thing. Okay, well why? Tell me, explain it. Oh, well this person did a bad thing. What'd they do? You gotta be able to tell me. Right? Because that's the conservative way. They just speak in these broad, vague terms and the media doesn't call them on it. Ask the simple question, right? Can you explain?
