Donald Trump is probably fuming about this interview with former Project 2025 director Paul Dans.

One of the architects of the conservative Project 2025 manifesto demonstrated on CNN Monday the many ways in which Donald Trump is tied to the project.

Speaking to Kaitlin Collins on The Source, the project’s former director, Paul Dans, admitted that he’s visited Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate several times and has spoken with Trump’s campaign staff there, including the campaign’s co-chair Susie Wiles.

    I mostly agree but go the step farther that the danger is pushed back a bit once he’s gone, because what other candidate wouldn’t have his own plan? His own goals? Anyone else would see that merely as a means to an end, and take only the compatible pieces

      Yes, that’s the minor dent I was referring to. They’d need to find another front-man. I wouldn’t be surprised if it took less than a week to convince Musk to take on the mantle.

      e: the right is plenty enamoured with Musk, so I think the transition would be fairly smooth.
