Project 2025, also known as the Presidential Transition Project, is a collection of conservative and right-wing policy proposals from the Heritage Foundation to reshape the United States federal government and consolidate executive power should the Republican Party candidate win the 2024 presidential election.
Critics argue that the plan, endorsed by Donald Trump, could lead to authoritarian measures and a significant shift in the country’s governance, potentially undermining democratic principles. Supporters dismiss it as a non-issue or a partisan fabrication.
On July 5, 2024, Donald Trump publicly disavowed any association with Project 2025, a movement that some had linked to him.
Trump stated that he knew nothing about the project and disagreed with some of its stances.
This disavowal was widely reported across social media platforms, with many users emphasizing that Trump and his campaign had no involvement with Project 2025.
The posts and discussions highlighted a clear effort to distance Trump from the project, with some users criticizing the media and high-profile figures for suggesting a connection between Trump and Project 2025.

This a lie. Many people involved in Project 2025 are Trump allies and served in his administration. pic.twitter.com/35XOsulmj9

I hate to say I told you so… but Trump’s disavowal of Project 2025 is the latest and most undeniable proof that the second term will be plagued by the same personnel problems as the first.
P2025 has been attacked by the media because it is actually Right Wing, and Trump folded.
