Project 2025 - why Democrats are targeting a group Trump wants to disown

Donald Trump has been leading in the polls in the race to be the next US president - but Kamala Harris has a target of attack.

Trump could well end up back in the White House next January, so what does he want to do if he wins re-election as US President?

A group of former Trump advisors have drawn up a blueprint for his first 180 days in office. Called Project 2025, the proposals have delighted some conservatives.

But they've outraged Democrats, alarmed thousands of public servants and have even drawn pensioners onto the streets in protest, as Kiran Moodley explains from Washington.

If certain people are saying that Trump is nothing to do with project 2025, what was it there for? Why was it published?

Trump is Weird for even thinking America would support project2025. Even Republicans are voting him away

What? Trump lies about who and what he supports... well, I never.

Because it was created by The Heritage Foundation, not any one in his team. I doubt he’s even read it, he’s been too busy dodging “the peaceful sides” bullits and still going around having conversations with people

One thing for certain is that if Trump gets reelected this November it will be as it was last time which is with a minority of the popular vote. Yet this blueprint for leadership would put him in total control of the country despite the fact that his opponent gained more votes. That’s not democratic.

It has its own Wikipedia entry. It covers every right-wing policy they can think of from selling off Americas vast national parks to killing off wild horses.

Trump's favorite poem says "You knew I was a snake when you took me in." And he says it with glee.

Channel 4 News’s Cathy Newman exercised poor listening skills and inaccurately summarized her interviewee’s statements over 30 times in a half hour interview. How ridiculous! Cathy Newman, WE ARE VERY ANGRY AT YOU AND WE DO NOT LIKE YOUR BEHAVIOR. SHAME ON YOUR PARENTS FOR BIRTHING YOU!

Project 2025 is NOT a manifesto. It is a proposal put forward by a think tank. Those are two different things
