"Trump has no mandate to implement Project 2025 -- in fact he denied all links with it on the campaign trail. But because of the trifecta voters handed Republicans, it's likely to happen nonetheless."

Don the Con will rule by evil HATE.
The voters are going to pay a high price.
Ya know, that word "hoodwinked" really bothers me. As if ANY ONE of the morally reprehensible, disgusting things he's done since 2015 wasn't enough? This person is depraved in ways that I'm not sure fiction could outdo, and I just don't think hoodwinked is the right word.
I'm shocked at this development, truly shocked that the habitual lying conman isn't keeping his word about not doing the horrible self-serving thing and enacting the fascist agenda. How could he do something so obvious!? Shocked I say!
Trump hoodwinked his voters about everything. They wanted to be hoodwinked and he was happy to oblige them.
Trump voters don’t think. They react and project.
"They signed up for Project 2025 whether they knew it or not." Hmm... it's like how donors to his campaign found out after THOUSANDS of dollars withdrawn from accounts or card charges, that they had to scroll aaaalll the way to the bottom to un-check the box that made it a monthly donation.
A scant 1/3 of voting age Americans bothered to vote for him. He didn't even manage to get 50% of the votes counted. And yet he and the corrupt woman-hating GOP hold every seat of power.
Welcome the rule by minority!
ultimately trump is in charge of nothing. decisions are being made around him while he rage eats and shops for a new wife. he’s never had any interest in actually running things. just taking credit for them.
Bingo!! All of the EOs have already been written by Heritage Foundation-
teump will sign a few for photo ops then speed sign the rest - a press conference stating that ‘illegals are a national security threat’ & that the only solution is to have national guard or military involved.
Any time Trump pleads ignorance, I can believe him. But even if he didn’t specifically adopt Project 2025, the people he’s hired sure as hell did. Now they’ll have a useful idiot to sign anything they drop in front of him whether he understands what it does or not. And that’s all they need.
Republicans will try to implement Project 2025. They have 2 handicaps: the House is incapable of governing and they will overplay their hand and cause many problems for the country- inflation, monetary issues, trash healthcare and social programs, etc. It will not be popular.
Those morons weren't "hoodwinked", "fooled", "tricked" or whatever. They CHOSE to be selfish. They CHOSE hate. They IGNORED warnings. They IGNORED basic search engines.
THEY CHOSE THIS. They WANTED it.
I hope this all hits THEM hardest! They earned it. Unfortunately, we will ALL suffer.
“But he protects unborn children of God!” Again ignorant MAGA followers listen to Fox “News” and the grifters who will raise prices with tariffs, deport workers whose jobs they won’t do, and line their pockets with tax breaks. The dumbing down of America makes it easier to thwart democracy.
Elon helped facilitate the hacking of the 2024 election. If he didn't help the cheat we wouldn't have to worry about #Project25 being implemented on January 20th.
My son is so deep in the cult that he hopes everything listed on project 25 is implemented. I’ve disowned him after I told him what he voted he told me to F off. Who says that to their mother?
So sorry, Leah! It's absolutely heartbreaking. I simply don't understand this hold that has taken on so many of our family and friends. People I always adored and respected have fallen for it.
I believe there is a direct correlation between Hitler's control of print media and Trump/Musk manipulation of the Internet. Both are and were gateways to controlling the masses.
The starlink connection makes sense. Trump's supporters are basically rural. That technology will bring them Internet putting them on the grid under Musk's thumb.
He claimed he knew nothing about Project 2025. Did anyone really believe that? The first thing he did was pick Vance, who contributed to it. Then he picked Stephen Miller, who wrote it. Who do you think is actually nominating the cabinet candidates? DJT is clearly just a figurehead.
He’s home free now—I’ve been wondering why he just doesn’t jettison all the lunatics and try to prolong Biden’s progress—for which he’ll take credit. Unless he truly does owe Putin, he could just become the benevolent dictator he wants to be—and never worry about being held accountable again.
All he does is lie. How could voters believe him and not the dozens of lifelong Republicans that spoke out against him. I still don't understand help me understand
Does anybody have a mandate for anything these days? Not even the experts seems sure of much, but people in positions of power still act as if they know best. Could be related to the rise of "imposter syndrome" in our societies
Is it really a hoodwink when he basically said "I'm totally not doing that" while winking aggressively and nodding his head? Like. The evidence was overwhelming as it was damning. Mostly because it was fucking true.
I agree. And I feel like the quickest way out of this is to fall hard and fast. My biggest concern is that Trump 2.0 will be a slow burn that the average idiot won't recognize until it's too late.
The fake mandate extends to anything Trump wishes, and former distancing from P’25 is meaningless. R’s and Trump simply ignore observations of hypocrisy and dishonesty, or demean them as sour grapes. You can’t shame the shameless. Ends justifies the means is the sum total of what we’re up against.
If there's anyone left in the GOP with any sense who saw how unpopular the P25 ideas were when polled during the election, they must also realize the midterms are only 2 years away and they did not win by a landslide. #Consequences
A "mandate" is a thing that only exists when Democrats don't want to do what they promised their voters. Republicans win elections to enact the policies they ran on. Winning is the only mandate that matters.
So in spite of what all the voters thought when trump told everyone he wasn’t associated with 2025.
It’s clear as crystal that he lied.
Again.
And again.
And again.
I have actually seen some comments about how it sounds like it has some "good stuff" in it. They will normalize it and make it into a good thing, before they admit they were fooled.
His voters are so damn stupid. Months from now they’ll be bitching about everything they’re losing because of Project 2025 without recognizing that they voted for it.
Trump is extremely lazy and disinterested when it comes to the actual nuts and bolts of policy, which is why the right wing wonks in his camp are so dangerous. He won’t read anything. All he cares about is the signing ceremony and the credit.
Yes indeed. Welcome to the New Republic of Merica.
After generations of working at, the population is now stupid enough and compliant enough to actually vote for this shit. Well half anyway. It’s nuts.
Fuck em….. they knew it! It was blasted all over the internet even if they didn’t watch left wing tv. All my right wing relatives were notified by all the left wing relatives. They were told to research it. Instead they kept with their nonsense about Kamala leading the dem party. Fuck em!
Project 2025 has been the Pug agenda all along! When Trump realized it would cost him votes he distanced himself and LIED about it. He hasn't even been inaugurated yet, and those bastahds are implementing it even as we speak!
Project 2025 is to the right what woke and dei is to the left. The difference is one was about progress and the other is about regression. Oh and Trump lied but thay isn't news
This is what drives me crazy, the rancid Orange ALWAYS lies, I knew project 2025 was always on the friggin agenda…urghhhh. Donating to the ACLU, they are going to be so busy
Why is this a surprise? Rules and norms don't apply, and when their looking for something to implement they will pickup the first thing that comes to hand, i.e. Project 2025.
Yes, Trump lied about Project 2025 during the election bc he thought it would lose votes. But many of those who voted for Trump never even heard of it or knew what it was. If they knew, would Trump have lost their votes? I doubt it---they were focused on other things.
Except that voters had no expectation that Trump (I'll build that wall and get Mexico to pay for it) was being honest with them... In fact, he could be forgiven for thinking that the more he hoodwinks voters, the more voters support him...
I know of some Trump voters who absolutely, positively bought into his disavowal of Project 2025--and so they never looked into what it said at all. So now I'm thinking that they won't connect the dots between that document and what Trump ends up doing.
trump hoodwinked his cult by much more than just 2025 . He is a liar and a loser. He is president because a few folks thought they would get even with ???? Who knows , and not vote. They say you get the government you deserve, lets hope this lesson only lasts four years
I dunno. I keep seeing people talk about how he has no mandate- but a trifecta seems like a mandate to me. This is what we voted for, unfortunately. If Harris had gotten a tiny margin trifecta the Ds would say she has a mandate.
Project 2025 asserts a controversial interpretation of the unitary executive theory, according to which the entire executive branch is under the complete control of the U.S. president.
He will control the executive branch. He has immunity.
I hate the framing of this, as if Trump is some deceitful, and skillful wordsmith that elegantly pulled the wool over peoples faces. He just said "Nah I dunno!" and dumb people nodded their head and said OK.
A better headline would be "Stupid Americans Believed Trumps Flimsy Denial"
Fucking thank you. The amount of infantilizing of grown ass adults able to make their own decisions is staggering. Like they had no fucking agency at all. They weren't hoodwinked. They want(ed) simple answers and four word slogans to solve incredibly complex problems.
They're just as stupid as they act but that doesn't mean their actions are beyond criticism. I just hate how the people actively trying to violently claw the world backwards because they're afraid of brown people get treated like fucking children with zero culpability. It's infuriating.
It’s even worse when they are biologically related to you-and you hope to never see them again. I am incredibly sad. Over the shock but not over the grief. Thank you for sharing.
To be specific about how flimsy it was: his claim that he wasn't involved was self-contradictory. By simply applying basic logic, it was clear that he was lying about at least some of it.
AND THEY'RE NOT ENEN GOING TO GET THE CHEAPER EGGS!!! I know it's not the point but I'm getting so fucking heated about this. Like if I let myself fucking believe their bullshit about eggs, which I do the fuck not, THEY WERE NEVER GOING TO GET THEM
Republicans will suffer a major “whoops” moment when their voters revolt against implementation of Project2025, and demand it to be rolled back. And it will definitely be rolled back, Republicans just don’t recognize they’ll be doing it yet.

They were told repeatedly this would happen. It's their own fault that they didn't listen.

They are too stupid
He lies
What were those idiots thinking
Oh no Trump he will take care of us
Welcome the rule by minority!

Off to golf!
THEY CHOSE THIS. They WANTED it.
I hope this all hits THEM hardest! They earned it. Unfortunately, we will ALL suffer.
I am living for the day I get to tell the MAGAts ‘told you so’
🤦
But here’s what we are planning- Article 47 . It’s named in honor of me.
It’s
Sarcasm
It will, of course, but that's the price of their bigotry and misogyny.
It’s clear as crystal that he lied.
Again.
And again.
And again.
Probably the only thing left at this point.
We need to fight!
Aaron, we need to give people hope and suggestions on fighting back.
After generations of working at, the population is now stupid enough and compliant enough to actually vote for this shit. Well half anyway. It’s nuts.
Huh.
Hopefully we can limit the damage until then.
WTF did people think would happen? I never thought I’d be SO saddened by us getting the government we deserve.
Not hoodwinked.
He knew exactly what he was doing.
He lied.
He will control the executive branch. He has immunity.

You can't just brush evil under the carpet because you want cheap eggs.
People really are going to learn the hard way.
