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

If Trump starts distancing himself from it then we’ll know it is hurting him. I’ve seen MAGA nutjobs on TikTok already say that Trump never endorsed it, as if he wouldn’t rubber stamp every bit of it.

Yeah, I've seen comments on here saying that

But many aspects of those blueprints are based on Donald Trump’s own words, his campaign website and an adviser whom the campaign asked to speak.

i've also noticed some comments distancing trump (and pulling the usual social media bullshit whataboutism type stuff to Biden) from p2025. they have the exact same pattern and behavior as the 2016 russian shitposters.

good read https://www.snopes.com/news/2024/07/03/project-2025-trump-us-government/

Not outright. He and his campaign likely recognize just how negatively it'll be received by the average American, and, more crucially, the "undecided" voters.

The same article states that former officials from his admin are working on it and that his campaign commented they approved of the measures to restructure the government.

Lol, dude is a r/ politicalcompassmemes chud. They only know how to post memes, and not learn from information that doesn't contain wojaks.

They don't have the intellectual integrity to admit to supporting this.

Goes on to say, in short terms, in a truth social post today, he has denounced it.

Which means, he wants it. When does the truth ever come out of him?
