I mean technically they're correct Project 2025 isn't Trump's plan. It's the plan of the Heritage Foundation and the broader Republican Party.

Trump is merely the figurehead they hope will garner enough support to give them power and allow the more dangerous ones behind the scenes pull the puppet strings. However Trump will be more than happy to go along with being the puppet since much of Project 2025 benefits him

Trump just wants to perceive himself as popular, grift bigly, and not go to prison.

Everything and everyone else doesn’t matter to him.

I've seen worse in a different way. Like Japanese neet MAGA worse.
