What’s funny is, Trump goes to rallies and push most of the crap from project 2025 and at the same time tries to distance himself from it. 🤡

Any of the past students want to say anything about the coach? They are old enough to vote now. I would like to know if they were treated like he treated his son, yanking him toward him on the stage with a big scowl on his face.

The kind of midwestern dad energy that it takes to create a club for gay kids in high school. I mean, what dad hasn't done that?

Right. Take T ‘s WORD on something. He doesn’t even honor CONTRACTS.

I have to question if they have the balls in the 4th quarter 😂

Of course they are trying to distance themselves from Project 2025. But the fact is he did/does rely heavily on the Heritage Foundation - one of the main contributors to Project 2025 - to make his decisions, and countless members of his former staff are involved with the proposal. From 2016:
"The “Mandate for Leadership” series includes five individual publications, totaling approximately 334 unique policy recommendations. Analysis completed by Heritage determined that 64 percent of the policy prescriptions were included in Trump’s budget, implemented through regulatory guidance, or under consideration for action in accordance with The Heritage Foundation’s original proposals."  

Mandate for Leadership, created by the Heritage Foundation, was the 2016 version of Project 2025. If it walks like a skunk, and smells like a skunk...

You call yourself journalists ..

Fact checking? This was literally a 12 minute Kamabla ad! 👎🏻

I hear people always wanting to "fact check"one side, and trump and the repugnicans lie like a rug, and then crickets from the same people

Audience, in Leadership classes you don't divide your People. Trump apparently NEVER took one, because most of his staff QUIT!!!

CBS Fox, Harris stating she has changed her mind is different from Frump denying knowledge about something he repeats daily and he still intends to do it.
I guess you can't understand the difference.
