Trump shunned Project 2025. He’s picking its authors for Cabinet positions anyway.

Summary

Despite Trump’s initial denial of connection to Project 2025, a conservative policy agenda, he has nominated two of its co-authors to Cabinet positions.

These nominations suggest that the document may serve as a blueprint for Trump’s second term, with proposals to expand presidential power, deregulate, and enact religious right priorities.

Trump’s “border czar” appointee, Tom Homan, has endorsed some of the document’s immigration policies, including expanding expedited removal and ending DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals).
