President Donald Trump's sweeping executive orders have drawn comparisons to Project 2025, a conservative policy blueprint aimed at reshaping the federal government under a Republican administration. Newsweek examines the similarities.
Newsweek has contacted the White House for comment via email.
Why It Matters
Project 2025, a 900-page document spearheaded by the Heritage Foundation, set out plans to expand executive authority, replace civil servants with ideologically aligned appointees, limit abortion rights and impose much tougher restrictions on immigration.
Democrats have painted the initiative as a road map for Trump's second term in an attempt to portray him as ideologically extreme. Trump has distanced himself from it, describing parts of it as "ridiculous and abysmal," but later appeared to change his tune, telling Time magazine in December: "I don't disagree with everything in Project 2025, but I disagree with some things."
Trump has put forward a number of policy proposals that resemble those outlined in Project 2025. He has also invited some of Project 2025's key architects to serve in his second administration. On Monday, his first day in office, he signed a flurry of executive orders and other presidential actions.
Among other things, the president withdrew from the landmark Paris Agreement, rescinded 78 Biden-era executive actions and implemented a federal hiring freeze.
He also signed several immigration-related executive orders, issued orders curbing diversity, equity and inclusion efforts, and announced upcoming tariffs on Canada and Mexico.

None of the talking point differ from Trumps campaign promises. The only different action I see is the AI initiative which was not mentioned as being part of 2025.
Watch out Mr. President. Newsweak is onto you.
To the Liberal Media and the Dems, no election result ever matters. No reality will ever knock them off of their narrative.
I’m sorry. I couldn’t hear what newsweak is whining about over all this winning we’re doing over here.
Would be nice of Spewsweak to actually care about Americans.
Why the (barf)?
Dozens of Trump aides and associates crafted Project 2025 before the election and Trump’s own agenda is 75 percent of Heritage’s.
The only reason Trump distanced himself with Project 2025 before the election was to not take on more heat from rabid leftists who hate the Heritage Foundation as much as the hate Trump.
Now we’ll see Trump aligning himself with most of Project 2025.
Yes, I saw an article there yesterday that tried to hide the truth deep down, about a Biden EO related to pharmaceutical costs for Medicaid and Medicare recipients. It actually said, deep in the article, that there would be no immediate impact, and the future impact of Trump’s action was yet to be seen.
Meanwhile, all over the internet, are social media posts indicating that Trump has just raised the cost of prescription drugs for everyone on Medicaid and Medicare.......
I am of the opinion that UNLESS and UNTIL the American elections are US Citizens ONLY, we are only swinging between the two poles of the election cycle.
Bkmk
Tell me again, what is wrong with Project 2025?
There sure wasn’t all this squawking and caterwauling about 1619 Project, which is revered by these same traitors.
Many of the things Trump is doing may appear to be from P2025 simply because many of them are just common sense.
Constipational Attorney. Don’t they have medication for that?
