Trump Refutes Connection to Project 2025 After Harris’ DNC Speech – I am Not Involved

Important Details

• • Former President Trump put blame on Harris in a post on his Truth Social platform, of “LYING AGAIN ABOUT PROJECT 2025…THAT I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH!”

• • “She knows I have nothing to do with Project 2025…I haven’t even seen it, I don’t want to see it.”, Trump said when he called into Fox News after Harris’ speech.

• • Harris said in her speech on the final night of the Democratic National Convention, Project 2025 lays out as to “what a second Trump term would look like,” adding that it was “written by his closest advisors.”

• • Harris was of the opinion and she emphasized that the “sum total” of the controversial far-right policy proposal is to “pull our country back to the past.”
  • Project 2025 was prepared by the Heritage Foundation and a few other groups with a tilt towards the right side to serve as a policy agenda for the next Republican, or often referred to as GOP (Grand Old Party) president. Although it is not associated with the Trump campaign and Trump has strong intentions of staying away from it, it is worth noticing that several of its writers were, indeed, formal officials from the Trump administration.

Context Overview About Trump Refutes Connection to Project 2025

As soon as the conversation began, criticism of Project 2025 started and warnings about Project 2025 to be potentially serving as the framework of the 2nd Trump statement became the key points for discussion. In the closing speech which took place on the third night, vice presidential candidate and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz made an attempt to link Trump and his running fellow JD Vance to the agenda calling it there “Project 2025”. Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., also described the initiative as an “extreme agenda”. An elaborated version of project 2025’s core 900-page document called “Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise” was a recurrent prop that multiple speakers carried onstage, including Colorado Gov. Jared Polis, who raised a red flag that Trump could potentially use “an obscure law from the 1800s” to prohibit abortion in 50 states. Saturday Night Live star Kenan Thompson performed a live skit with the oversized script which he described as the “terms and conditions of a second Trump presidency.” Efforts from the democrats to link a controversial policy to Trump came after both Trump and his campaign made attempts to distance themselves from this project 2025, maintaining that the former president has “nothing to do with” it.

A Different Perspective

Harris was straight in blaming Trump in her speech for deliberately attempting to fail the “strongest border bill in decades”, she strongly blamed him for coercing his allies in congress to outrightly reject a bipartisan border bill because he is of the opinion that “a border deal would hurt his campaign.” Trump, who would not have let this pass without a reaction, later reacted strongly by calling the bill “one of the worst ever written” and claimed that it was “only a political ploy”. Later, when he appeared on Fox news, Trump repeatedly described Harris as a “Marxist” and criticized her for a rise in the number of border arrest cases during the incumbent Biden administration, claiming she supports “open borders”.

Unexpected Insight

Trump’s Truth Social commentary of Harris’ speech had few mentions of President Joe Biden and his family even though he is no longer in contention for the second term. At the start of Harris’ speech, Trump wrote “WHERE’S HUNTER?”. He also claimed Nancy Pelosi is “looking on, saying, Where’s Crooked Joe”, once Harris finished speaking.
