Trump is doing his best to distance himself from Project 2025 but it isn't working.
Francesca Fiorentini and Jordan Uhl break it down on The Damage Report.
Project 2025

"Former President Donald Trump has spent much of this week freaking out about Project 2025, the initiative that produced the 900-page extremist right-wing guidebook for the next conservative administration.
This weekend, at a rally in Michigan, Trump derided Project 2025 as a product of “some on the severe right” and said unnamed proposals included in it as “seriously extreme.”
On Wednesday, he wrote on Truth Social: “I have nothing to do with, and know nothing about, Project 25.
The fact that I do is merely disinformation put out by the Radical Left Democrat Thugs.
Do not believe them!”
The same day, his campaign put out an update claiming, “Project 2025 is not President Trump’s agenda” and insisting that the GOP platform is the document that people should understand as his agenda.
In a live call-in to Fox and Friends on Thursday, Trump told the hosts the document was written by a group of “very, very conservative people,” adding: “I have nothing to do with the document.
I’ve never seen the document…it doesn’t speak for me.”
But there’s a problem with those claims: Many of the “very conservative people” behind the initiative—which is led by dozens of right-wing groups and spearheaded by the Heritage Foundation—have close ties to Trump.
Trump did not always seek to distance himself from the group behind Project 2025 as much as he is now.
As NBC News pointed out, back in 2022 Trump spoke at a Heritage Foundation event as the group began working on the initiative, praising Heritage as “a great group” that was “going to lay the groundwork” and “detail plans for exactly what our movement will do.”"
