Trump on Project 2025: Are His Comments a Betrayal or a Strategy?

We NEED a Populist Project. So why is Trump criticising it?

JUPPLANDIA

In his recent Michigan speech Trump addressed Project 2025, and did so in a way disturbingly similar to Globalist and Democrat responses. He dismissed it as being the same as wokeness and the Hard Left, describing it and the people behind it (some of whom are former members of his administration) as “extremism”. His comments were reported as follows:

“Like some on the right, severe right, came up with this Project 25, I don’t even know, some of them I know who they are, but they’re very, very conservative. They’re sort of the opposite of the radical left.

You have the radical left and the radical right and they come up — I don’t know what the hell it is, it’s Project 25….He’s involved in project — and then they read some of the things and they are extreme, they’re seriously extreme.

“But I don’t know anything about it, I don’t want to know anything about it.”

It’s the second time Trump has publicly distanced himself from Project 2025. Whilst other patriots have laughed at the hysterical mainstream reactions to the 900 page policy document created by the Heritage Foundation, Trump seems to be taking leftist reporting on what it contains seriously.

The question is, is that because he’s following a strategy of least offence now, or is it because he genuinely shares leftist attitudes to what Project 2025 wants to do?

Personally, I’m seriously concerned about Trump attacking Project 2025 and calling it the extreme Right.

I understood that the COVID and vaccine madness wasn’t his fault and that he was manipulated and deceived on that.

And I understand he’s fairly ‘moderate’ and liberal really on things like abortion and gun control.

And I understood that he achieved remarkable things despite being surrounded by an administrative and Deep State that was continuously opposing and betraying him, including key personnel he let too close like Bill Barr or Mike Pence (and White House lawyers, too).

Despite all that, errors can be forgiven for the sheer magnificence of the things Trump DID get right. There is just one thing Trump cannot afford to get wrong again. And that is letting the administrative State and the Deep State continue as if he hasn’t been elected.

For me some kind of large scale project of reducing the administrative state and the Deep State is vital and the only way we restore sanity. This is the key requirement now of saving the West and delivering a Populist agenda.
