'They are seriously extreme': Trump goes nuclear on Project 2025 at Michigan rally
Donald Trump on Saturday went further than ever to distance himself from Project 2025, the Heritage Foundation's plan to overtake the federal government with MAGA loyalists, while speaking at a Michigan rally.
Trump, who has already issued statements suggesting he "knows nothing" about the plan that is run by many of his own former administration officials, went nuclear against the group at his speaking event this weekend.
Trump begins by saying that others try to paint him as an "extremist."

"I'm a person with great common sense; I'm not an extremist at all," Trump said at the first rally since the shooting event.
He continued, blasting Project 2025.
"Like some on the right, the severe right, came up with this Project 2025 and I don't even know - some of them I know who they are - but they are very, very conservative," he said. "Just like you have, they are sort of the opposite of the radical left. You have the radical left and you have the radical right."
He said he doesn't know "what the hell it is."
"They are extreme. They are seriously extreme, but I don't know anything about it," Trump said. "I don't want to know anything about it. But what they do is misinformation and disinformation."
Trump then got a huge applause by claiming he "took a bullet for democracy" last week.
