In his Project 2025 chapter on trade, economist Peter Navarro called on the next U.S. president to bring about a domestic manufacturing “renaissance” by adopting reciprocal tariffs against trading partners and taking a particularly hard line on China.
Promptly after being elected, President Trump appointed Navarro as his senior counselor for trade and manufacturing. Within months, he announced sweeping new tariffs largely in line with Navarro’s suggestions.
When the stock market plunged and economists warned of increasing inflation and a potential recession, several of Trump’s other advisors rushed to step in, drive space between him and Navarro and prod the president into hitting pause on much of the plan.
The episode, which sent shock waves through the global economy, illustrated a broader pattern in which the president has rushed to implement unconventional or extreme policies also outlined in Project 2025.
He has done so despite having insisted throughout his 2024 presidential campaign that he wanted nothing to do with the unpopular, ultraconservative playbook, and despite warnings from experts and other liberal critics that such policies were unwise, if not illegal.
During the campaign, Trump said he hadn’t read Project 2025, which was released by the conservative Heritage Foundation in 2023, and didn’t intend to. He also said that some of its recommendations were “absolutely ridiculous and abysmal,” and two of his top campaign advisors — including his current chief of staff, Susie Wiles — said that “Project 2025’s demise would...”

We never actually heard much about Project 2025 except from liberals scared to death.
What is so bad?
Yet, 1619 Project, GOOD....
Sounds good to me.
I’ll see your Project 2025 and raise you a New Green Deal.....
I live in the blue part of Ohio. One of the liberals around me was selling that talking point, I wasn’t buying.
I’ve heard the Dems say “Project 2025” as if they were saying “Beetlejuice”, however I haven’t heard anything specific that they opposed and why.
OH THE HUMANITY!!!
The LAT has been and will always be catorized as “Not even close to believable.”
If you read and believe the third-grade logic, suffer.
Always remember, journalism was long-ago abandoned by real journalists.
Heritage’s Project 2025 employed common sense. Trump ditto.
No surprise if they mirror each other.
Maybe Trump will genuflect, apologize, and RESIGN since he said he knew nothing about Project 2025. Would that make things all better, sweetheart ?
Trump should say people should bathe more than once a week just so they won’t.
And?
You know what Trump’s policies are even closer to? What Trump said his policies would be during the campaign. He did not hide the ball on what he planned on doing.
Did PDJT write Project 2025? Is he a member of Project 2025?
Did PDJT promise not to do anything that is a goal of Project 2025?
Who are these “experts”?
The actual document of 2025 is very long...
I read the overview, which is about a hundred pages...
It’s based upon strict constitutionalism, which I am 100% in agreement with
What really irks The Left is that President Trump’s “policies” are very closely aligned with the American Founding.
Those EVIL Founding Fathers who pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor to establish a haven for freedom and liberty.
As Hussein infamously stated: “The Constitution is a charter of negative liberties. It says what the federal government can’t do to you, but doesn’t say what the federal government or state government must do on your behalf.”
The Founders were very familiar with tyranny.
President Trump nominates Judges who will return to limited government. In his second term, he is trying to limit the leviathan, which is why the democRATS are foaming at the mouth.
Here’s the title of a 2024 LA Times article from Mr. Rector:
“Queer people have shaped America. Why celebrating that fact protects kids”
Enough said.
Mr. Rectum Rector?
If President Trump is following Project 2025, I voted for that.
Ah yes…. California where they just shot down a proposal to make sex trafficking a minor a felony.
