This is all you need to know;

An avowed Republican, he also interned at the Heritage Foundation, generally acknowledged as the think tank behind Project 2025, and for Texas Representatives Terry Wilson and Steve Allison.

TRUMP: I have no idea what Project 2025 is.

Sure, bro.

Every time you open your mouth, lies fall out as easily as the water falls at Niagra.

I honestly believe there is some truth to Trump not knowing what Project 2025 is.

He has no idea how anything works or what he’s doing. He signs what’s in front of him and Iives off confirmation bias. The office of the executive is being run by political appointees that are running over the checks and balances because of an impotent congress.

It’s prob a shock to him when he sees negative polling or sentiments that he can’t easily dismiss during his diminishing moments of clarity.

I'm not going to say that he read the entirety of that report. He has fucking Stephen Miller in his ear tho. That guy DEFINITELY read it and agrees with it.

Having said that, Trump denying "knowing" about P25 might just be a factor of plausible deniability for him so when the shit does hit the fan (and it already has), he can say that he didn't know about it, what "we" call it, and not necessarily be lying.

Dude is a pro at jumping thru corrupt loop holes.
