Please leave the insane conspiracy theories to MAGA.

You think this is an insane conspiracy theory? You think Trump was instrumental in writing Project 2025? You think he understands how anything affects the world economy? Our economy? The importance of soft power in the world. Complex ally relations? He’s a stuffed shirt reality tv personality who is only concerned with enriching and glorifying himself and is happy to play tough guy while the Heritage Foundation enacts the plans they’ve been working on since the Reagan administration.

Try paying attention to what is actually happening. Trump changes his mind about tariffs every other day, and he can't even maintain a consistent story about the point of the tariffs. He wants to take over Greenland and the Panama Canal. Now he wants to reopen Alcatraz and bring the NFL draft to DC. Was any of that in Project 2025?

Trump isn't following a plan. He is driven by whim, and he is supremely confident in his ability to improvise. Nobody in this administration can make him follow a plan, and they're not even trying to. He is surrounded by enablers and sycophants whose job is to let Trump be Trump and to turn his wishes into reality. If anything in Project 2025 happens, it's only because Trump isn't paying attention and doesn't care about that policy area. Trump is nobody's puppet - except maybe Putin's.

You try paying attention to what really matters. Tariffs on and off? An insider trading dream. And a way for Trump to make money when countries/companies buy his crypto to get breaks. Opening Alcatraz, taking over Greenland and the Panama Canal? Smoke and mirrors. Cutting FEMA aid? Heritage Foundation. SAVE Act which keeps women from voting? Heritage Foundation. Cutting essential services from the needy to allow tax breaks for the rich? Heritage Foundation. Those kinds of things are the things to pay attention to.
