Project 2025 Director in Resurfaced Interview: Trump’s ‘Very Bought In’
Donald Trump is going to great lengths on the campaign trail to distance himself from Project 2025, the controversial blueprint for his second administration—but he can’t seem to outrun his past praise for the people behind it, or their past claims that he is fully on board with their plans.
On Thursday, a video clip resurfaced of Paul Dans, the director of the Heritage Foundation’s 2025 Presidential Transition Project, claiming that the group has a “great” relationship with Trump.
“President Trump is very bought into this,” Dans, a former official in Trump’s first administration, said during an interview with a right-wing podcast last year.
