Peter Navarro Rips Project 2025 as “Trojan Horse Funded by Globalists”

Liberty Sentinal ^

Former Trump advisor Peter Navarro blasted The Heritage Foundation’s “terrible” Project 2025 in a new interview on the Liberty Report with Liberty Sentinel CEO Alex Newman, adding a colorful repudiation to a mountain of criticism already pronounced against the controversial policy proposal.

“Project 2025 is dead on arrival,” Navarro said. “It’s a trojan horse funded by globalists that uses some legitimate Trump policies as a veneer and then throws in a bunch of weird stuff that doesn’t reflect Trump policy at all.”

“Way back when they first started, they came to me and said, ‘We want you to write the chapter on trade for the Project 2025 book,” Navarro said. “I get the call [later] telling me there’s another chapter now. … The Case for Free Trade. You can’t make this up. … They lied to me.”

Navarro went on to cast aspersions on The Heritage Foundation by implying the organization was beholden to its donor-base of “corporate elites, multinationals that ship jobs abroad and open the border for cheap labor.”

Navarro I tend to trust.
I won't go far to say 'Project 2025' is a deliberate deception, but something about the whole hysteria smacks of the equivalent of Lindsay Graham going in national TV to announce an effort to enact a federal abortion ban just before the 2022 midterms, following the Dobbs decision (hint: it wasn't done to help MAGA or a 'red wave').

Globalists? There are some profoundly anti-globalist recommendations in the report.

[SubMareener]

The Heritage Foundation has shown every indication of being totally controlled by the Deep State. There may be one or two researchers who are merely duped, but the leaders are in on it.

[and open the border for cheap labor]

[Erik Latranyi]

Many of the groups we trust have been infiltrated and are being used against us. I fear Heritage has been one of them.

Yes, there are anti-globalist things in the document, but also pro-globalist things...or I should say things that could be twisted into being pro-globalist.

Thought! We should set up the most obnoxious think tank that promotes the worst government action and call it a “Democratic Policy” and tie it to Harris!

See how the other side works 👀

[V_TWIN]

Peter Navarro is one of DJTs better soldiers......if he says it, there’s more than likely something to it.

He saw through fauci way early on and begged Trump to get rid of him.....so for me I trust his instincts.

You made me spill my coffee! ;-)

[Tench_Coxe]

The "Kernal of truth" theory. Which is why Navarro is calling it a trojan horse.
Its also why people have been trying tie it to Trump--it serves as a way to whip up a frenzy on the left in an election year runup, and a way to muddy the waters when Trump tries to implement anti-globalist initiatives (people will shout 'Project 2025', and the globalists will go along with that because it maintains the status quo we all have been suffering under).

A couple more important items. Heritage has been putting these things out since the 1980s. Many of the chapters were written by LOYAL members of the first Trump administration. Are we playing “opposite day” a bit here?

Wow, that’s a shocker. I thought HF was iron clad conservative.

[Tench_Coxe]

"Many of the chapters were written by LOYAL members of the first Trump administration."

Mike Pence was loyal. Until he wasn't.
Chris Christie was 'loyal'. He got us Chris Wray as FBI director.
Nimrata Haley was 'loyal'. Until she wasn't. Navarro was loyal (and I would argue it wasn't necessarily to Trump the man, but principle, a rare quality when it cimes to DC) . And spent time in prison for it.

The point is discernment. Navarro is calling 'Project 2025' a trojan horse, and has talked to the same elsewhere. He (and Trump for that matter) have disavowed that 'Project 2025' is the blueprints for a second Trump term.

Just because Heritage has been around a while doesn't give it any golden status, just as the FBI has been around even longer (and I wouldn't trust them to tell me the sun rises in the east).

[Thorium90]

I was just told that Trump said it was a “radical right” document, and that is why he distanced himself from it. Anyone confirm that?

If true something seems amiss here.

Don’t get me wrong - both these gentleman are trustworthy. Just wondering if anything’s going on.

[piasa]

Probably more “tell tham what they want to hear” campaign tactics.
Navarro’s free to run to the left or appeal to the left by dissing project 2025 because the right for sure isn’t going to vote for Kamala and her crazy communist comrade. There is no need to win over GOP conservatives when the only real alternative is Kamala Harris. But there is a need to try and win over people to our left.

I’m certain 25 was set up to give the corrupt media a talking point to bludgeon Republicans with. Doesn’t seem to be getting much traction with the lib crowd.

Let's just say this trial balloon was shot down real good. It doesn't fly anymore.

[Ann Archy]

Its been a TRAIN WRECK FOR TRUMP WHO WAS NOT EVEN A PART OF IT!

[jimfree]

Fun facts to know and tell. I said LOYAL. Many chapters were written by LOYAL administration members, not the rat-fuckers.

[Tench_Coxe]

Navarro was and is LOYAL. He wrote a chapter. And he is calling it a trojan horse.
I guess we agree to disagree. Have a nice day.
