Trump seemed to hit his credibility limit last week when he took to Truth Social, his social media platform, to deny any knowledge whatsoever of Project 2025, a collection of very conservative policy initiatives developed by the same Washington, D.C., policy factory that's been setting GOP agendas for more than four decades.
"I know nothing about Project 2025," the former president wrote, sounding about as believable as the corrupt police prefect in "Casablanca" who was "shocked, shocked" to hear there was gambling going on.
"I have no idea who is behind it," he continued. 'I disagree with some of the things they're saying, and some of the things they're saying are absolutely ridiculous and abysmal. Anything they do, I wish them luck, but I have nothing to do with them." Well, maybe not exactly "nothing."
In fact, Project 2025 is a presidential transition agenda compiled by the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank aided by dozens of former Trump administration officials. It claims credit for Trump's "embracing two-thirds of Heritage's proposals within just one year in office" during his term.
