Summary
Despite disavowing Project 2025 during the campaign, Trump’s transition team is now using its extensive database of vetted conservative candidates to help fill over 4,000 government positions.
Project 2025, criticized for its extreme policy proposals and links to Trump’s first administration, created a “conservative LinkedIn” of 10,000 candidates.
While some contributors are being tapped for key roles, others face rejection due to controversial stances.
Democrats, who used Project 2025 in campaign attacks, are warning of its influence on Trump’s agenda and planning policy responses.
Trump has never read Project 2025. Or Mein Kampf. Or The Art of the Deal. Or any book in his life.
He might have listened to the audiobook version of Mein Kampf, but probably not in the original German like his dad would have.
Actually, his wife and his friends said they’ve only seen him actively read one book, which is a book of Hitler’s speeches.
That’s just what he wanted them to think. Inside the book, he had hidden a single Bazooka Joe comic that took him 5 years to read. And then he didn’t get the joke so he had to take another 5 years to read it. And he still didn’t get the joke so… basically he’s going to put anyone with a Bazooka Joe comic in their possession in front of a firing squad when he gets in charge.
Okay but bazooka firing squad sounds at least interesting
