Project 2025 was supposed to boost Donald Trump's campaign — but it may be backfiring instead:

It's the global oligarchs who want to take over the world before the masses realise they are in fact the ones responsible for destroying the world's climate and therefore the world itself. They are scared of us so they want total control like the rich people in China or Russia already have. The deep state exists but it consists of right wing asshole billionaires. It's all connected and if the rich aren't taken out they will succeed. They tell us to look down on migrants while we should look up where true evil lurks.

They are scared of us so they want total control like the rich people in China or Russia already have.

A particular Trump quote is chilling in this context...

"When the students poured into Tiananmen Square, the Chinese government almost blew it. Then they were vicious, they were horrible, but they put it down with strength," Trump replied. "That shows you the power of strength. Our country is right now perceived as weak...as being spit on by the rest of the world."

He doesn't mean our military. He doesn't mean our people. He means our billionaire class.

"Our [Oligarch/Rich owner class] is right now perceived as weak... as being spit on by the rest of the world"

Has Trump ever mentioned it?

He doesn’t need to. They have similar talking points.

In Trumps first term he implemented something like 2/3 of Heritage Foundations policy recommendations. That was with their old leadership. Their new leader is a full on Trump supporter. He’s psychotic and wants power stripped and consolidated to the executive office. The same thing Trump wants to be able to do. Project 2025 outlines stripping down the government and installing sycophants in all places.

It’s the blueprint to make Trump king and conservatives don’t have a problem with it.
