On July 30, the project director of the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025, Paul Dans (who was Trump’s chief of staff at the Office of Personnel Management), resigned after Donald Trump tried to disavow any association with the project.
Project 2025 is shorthand for the Heritage Foundation’s “2025 Presidential Transition Project”.
Project 2025 has four pillars: Policy Agenda, Presidential Personnel Database, Presidential Administration Academy, and Playbook for the first 180 days of the next Administration. This 887-page “Mandate for Leadership” organized by the Heritage Foundation is, essentially, the policy agenda for the next Republican Party president.
Project 2025’s website lists over 110 partner organizations, including prominent pro-Trump groups, such as, American First Legal, Moms for Liberty, the National Rifle Association, Turning Point USA, and Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America. These project advisory board members are Trumpers-to-the-end. The current leadership of Project 2025 includes Spencer Chretien, former special assistant to Trump and now the project’s associate director, among scads of others from Trump’s team.

Trump’s running mate, JD Vance, writes, “The Heritage Foundation isn’t some random outpost on Capitol Hill; it is and has been the most influential engine of ideas for Republicans from Ronald Reagan to Donald Trump,” and ″We are now all realizing that it’s time to circle the wagons and load the muskets. In the fights that lay ahead, these ideas are an essential weapon.”
Yet, Donald J. Trump claims he knows nothing about Project 2025. As with anything that comes out of his mouth, this lie cannot be believed, either.
Don’t be fooled and don’t be a fool: Trump is in the thick of Project 2025.
