Donald Trump shaking hands with Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts at a Heritage event, April 2022
In a 19-minute video produced with Times Radio, I explain Project 2025, the Trumpist scheme to take control of all US Government agencies to make hard-right dreams come true, from the purging of career officials to a full ban on abortion to deportations of millions of immigrants by the military.
I summarize the 920-page blueprint, developed by the Heritage Foundation and former Trump Administration officials since April 2022. I explain how its significance goes beyond individual policies to the justification of a Trumpian autocracy.
In January 2021, in his denial of the 2020 election and in his encouragement of those who marched on the Capitol to stop the legal transfer of power, Donald Trump carried out an attempted coup.
Project 2025 is the attempt almost four years later to carry out a legal coup by taking over America’s agencies and making them bend to Trump’s will.
