Ed. - Links at original.
Project 2025 has captured the U.S. government. More than 50 high-level Trump administration officials have links to groups behind the Heritage Foundation-backed plan, a DeSmog analysis found. That number includes many of President Trumps closest advisors, from Stephen Miller to the recently departing Elon Musk. It also includes a full 70 percent of his cabinet.
Some of the officials directly authored parts of The Mandate for Leadership, the now-notorious, 900-page proposal to dismantle the administrative state the meat of Project 2025. Others recently worked for, donated to, or otherwise collaborated with one or more of the dozens of conservative groups that created the distinctly Christian Nationalist-flavored document. Some of these high-ranking officials have connections to five or more different Project 2025 groups, DeSmogs analysis found.
In other words, Project 2025 isnt just influential in Washington. Its friends and creators are literally running the show. Which helps to explain why the Trump administration has worked swiftly to implement the vision described in the Mandate. From across-the-board tariffs to the mass firing of tens of thousands of federal workers to attacking inclusive language and initiatives, from gutting whole agencies and departments to dramatically stepping up the rate of deportations to the broad-scale rollback of environmental regulations and initiatives, a clear pattern has emerged: If the Trump administrations doing it, Project 2025 probably spelled it out first.
Its a stunning display of support for a widely unpopular set of ideas. In late September, just before the election, NBC News found that distaste for Project 2025 was one of the few things Americans agreed on; just four percent of Americans approved of the initiative. Though Trump vigorously and repeatedly disavowed Project 2025 on the campaign trail and today, and media outlets helped to cement the perception that he had turned his back on the Heritage Foundation and its allies, he went on to install its architects and allies in top posts across the government.
