Late this summer, a prominent right-wing think tank invited conservatives from around the country to learn how to work in a second Donald J. Trump administration.
In a series of training sessions in Washington, former Trump officials shared strategies with attendees for combating leftist civil servants in the federal government and dealing with the mainstream media. Participants were sent home with a thick binder of materials for further study. One section’s title: “Tales From the Swamp: How Federal Bureaucrats Resisted President Trump.”
The classes could easily have been the work of Project 2025, the conservative policy blueprint and personnel project that was created by loyalists to Mr. Trump and that has been turned into a political cudgel by Democrats seeking to link its most radical prescriptions to the former president.
But the meetings had nothing to do with that enterprise or its principal backer, the Heritage Foundation. Instead, they were the work of the America First Policy Institute, a right-wing think tank that has, with little fanfare or scrutiny, installed itself as the Trump campaign’s primary partner in making concrete plans to wield power again.
Founded by three wealthy Texans in late 2020, the group, known as A.F.P.I., has quickly inserted itself into nearly every corner of Mr. Trump’s political machine, and is closer than any other outside player in his planning for a second term.
Mr. Trump chose one of its leaders, Linda McMahon, a former member of Mr. Trump’s cabinet and a longtime friend, as co-chair of his official transition team. Brooke Rollins, who also worked in the Trump administration and is currently the nonprofit’s chief executive, has been discussed as a candidate to be Mr. Trump’s chief of staff. The institute’s ranks are stocked with other former Trump administration officials...

Sounds like they’re terrified that plan might work.
Does anybody even read the NYT any more?..................
Wait...I thought they all quit or got fired to write books because he is a mean man? Just don't rehire any of the past losers i.e. we need an education head that will dismantle the department and quick.
Trump’s first term was a vertical learning curve.
First thing I would do is lock the press and all of the Intel agencies out of the white house and send them to a less comfortable spot.
The Nazi Schutzstaffel
The NY Times says the secretive pro-Trump group has representatives from:
1) The American Nazi party
2) The National Socialist White People’s party
3) The Ku Klux Klan
...and so on.
Project 2025? Mon Dieu!
I guess the NYT can’t find anything to say about Kamala. What a phony waste of newsprint!

Good...
Let me translate it for those of you in Rio Linda: The left tried really hard to make Project 2025 a hate group and tie Trump to it. But that's failing. So they have to make another group into the bogeyman to hate and tie Trump to it.
To be honest, Don Jr., JD, and a bottle of Jack would do a better job than Trump did. He is going to have to listen to JD and others when it comes to who he surrounds himself with.
I guess “Project 2025” has run out of steam, so they need this new, “even scarier!” plan now.
America thanks you Unum...btw, usual BS at the NYT. Summarized it for you.
“Heritage Foundation.” I’ve already given to them.
“Instead, they were the work of the America First Policy Institute, a right-wing think tank.”
I never heard of them before, but you had me with “right-wing think tank.”
I once read that a source that was always wrong was as useful as one that was always right. The NYT is very useful.
I voted straight GOP today in Marietta,GA.
I am hoping MUSK buys the NYT & closes it all down.
