RFK Jr. said during a Friday episode of the All In podcast that Trump will not implement the Project 2025 agenda and is instead more focused on his legacy.
“If President Trump wins, that people are going to see a very different President Trump than they did in the first term. I think he’s changed as a person. And I’ve known him for, you know, 30 years,” Kennedy said. “But I think he is, he’s focused on his legacy.”
Project 2025 was organized by Kevin Roberts, president of the Heritage Foundation, along with a group of former Trump White House officials in preparation for the former president’s return to the Oval Office. Kennedy added:
And he brought this issue up to me and he said, you know, they always tell me I’m on for Project 2025. I never read Project 2025 until they start accusing me of it. He said that was written by a right-wing asshole. That’s what he is. He said they’re left-wing assholes and there are right-wing assholes and it was a right-wing asshole who wrote that thing and then he started going through it.
So I, you know, I think he’s interested in his legacy now. He wants to leave behind some accomplishments and he wants to make our country better. And I think he’s, you know, he’s listening to a wider range of voices. He’s preparing to govern right now. And, you know, I’ll be on the transition committee picking the people who are going to govern…There’s going to be a wide diversity of stakeholders. But he’s listening to more than just that narrow right wing.
RFK Jr. just dropped a bombshell:@RealDonaldTrump admitted to him that he wasn’t prepared to be President in 2016 and that the Project 2025 creators are “right-wing assholes.”
But here’s the thing—both @RobertKennedyJr and Trump seem to understand the importance of learning… pic.twitter.com/zHOp9GKrfH

“Being a millionaire is a tough road to hoe.” The late Winthrop Rockefeller was fond of saying that. Staff would also sometimes explain to him that everybody within the sound of his voice—without exception and including his staff— would trade places with him so fast it would make your head swim. They’d hand over all their worldly possessions in exchange for his wallet (and its contents) without even having to think about it. They’d also throw in their hound dog, if they had one.
JFK Jr is a full blown nutcase from a family that was in Hugo Chavez’s back pocket.
Maybe Trump is trying to keep his tent open as wide as possible to pick up undecided voters and is running to the middle, just as radical leftist Kamala is trying to run to the right to pick up voters who aren’t radical Marxists.
It is politics.
Project 2025 is a bunch of bureaucratic insidce the Beltway NGO for hire Heritage foundation BS. It’s a policy wonker’s wet dream. No living breathing thinking feeling human being and certainly no testosterone poisoned self-sufficient person would spend 10 minutes on that utter nonsense.
You assume correctly. They are NGO grifters for hire run by the corporate elite who see a profit for their companies in paying for this garbage. Having seen the inside of CATO, Heritage and CEI I pay no attention to the garbage they produce because it is supposed to be garbage.
I saw the 922 page Project 2025 document. Nobody has time to read it.In no way do I have time to read it. What has been said about it has been parts that have been cherry picked in order to deride the whole document, IMO.
RFK, Jr.: “I’ll be on the transition committee picking the people who are going to govern”
I sure hope Kennedy is blowing smoke in that statement. Several of the picks in the first Trump administration were abysmal. But I can only imagine who Kennedy might pick.
Heritage supports Ukraine and other crap.
“Project 25 is ALL MAGA certified”
No, Donald Trump, Mr MAGA himself was not consulted in it’s creation or blindsiding splashy release.
Project 2025 is nothing but establishment, conservative inc, trying to grab the steering wheel.
They didn’t even run it by Trump before running to the press.
Screw Heritage.
Of course Trump is not connected to Project 2025. But there’s some good stuff in it, and to trash those who produced it rubs his base the wrong way.
He thought he was talking in private to someone he was trying to convince to come over to his side. He didn’t say this quote in public. And considering the damage that the Dems have done to Trump over this Project, I don’t blame him for being grumpy about it. As it is, it would be really bad for him politically to be positive about it in any way; it’s the main bludgeon (usually with some crazy distortions) the left is using to fearmonger about him.
*there’s some good stuff in it, and to trash those who produced it rubs his base the wrong way.*
True but the non-thinkers on the left are gullible so it’s best we keep it at arms length.
*JFK Jr is a full blown nutcase from a family that was in Hugo Chavez’s back pocket.
Maybe Trump is trying to keep his tent open as wide as possible to pick up undecided voters and is running to the middle, just as radical leftist Kamala is trying to run to the right to pick up voters who aren’t radical Marxists.*
Trump would not turn on him without reason. Could still happen but I’m sure he’s grateful.
It has hundreds if not a thousand ideas, plans and Improvements to our system. Very few seem alarming to me in anyway.

It’s long and confusing. So the media and Kamala can claim it says anything in negative ads.
Biggest ones
Federal Abortion Ban
Jan 6 innsurection
Classified Documents
NY Election Fraud
Heritage Foundation 2025
The Democrats have invested heavily in media coverage and ad campaigns .
The abortion issue is huge and 2025 Agenda seems to getting traction
Trump is working to short circuit those attacks
The authors of Project 2025 got a little over their skis and made dubious and exaggerated claims about being Trump's brain trust
The Democrats jumped on this hard and it seems to be a winner for them
Trump is wisely using Kennedy to distance himself from Heritage via a high profile intermediary like RFK jr who has street cred with cross over voters
Not a bad idea - Trump is triangulating the issues and giving the Democrats a dose of their medicine
I feel that way about most of them, but i've kept up with the heritage foundation for years, and they do stuff that the other "grifter" types never do.
Heritage works on grass roots issues and the underlying philosophy of conservatism. I think the project 2025 is probably very rational and well thought out, though I haven't read it. I just recall stuff from them that I have read over the years, and I imagine project 2025 is of a like type.
Most people don’t know anything about 2025. I’m betting Trump has it right about the asshole part.
You all remember that Trump was a Democrat? Remember he awaken up a bit? He loves America. Promotes mostly sane things. Does most of what he sets out to do. He’s a populist.
He’s no hard core conservative. You take what you can get.
Imagine that. A big time foundation pushing equity.
It’s not good stuff. It’s based on the conceit that some fine tuning in Washington can solve our ills. What is needed is to close much of it down and return the money and the power to the people.
I know a lot of those guys. He is spot on.
I have read it. It’s stomach churning stuff.
