Project 2025 resurfaced as the talking point after Donald Trump claimed victory in an election which was thought closer than a coin toss. Project 2025 was a 900-page policy wish list from which Donald Trump distanced himself as it was at the center of a major controversy for its conservation vision. Right-wing think tank The Heritage Foundation drafted Project 2025 and it was unveiled in April 2023. The Kamala Harris campaign resisted Project 2025 while the Republicans disavowed it.
“Suddenly Trump will know all the details of Project 2025,” a social media user posted.
“So can we tell them that Project 2025 is real now,” another said.
“Can you believe we tricked the Libs into believing Project 2025 wasn’t real??? Lmaoooo,” another wrote.
“Remember when we told the liberals that ‘Trump isn’t even connected to project 2025’? We lied. Prepare yourselves,” one post read.
