The thing is, Trump is lying about not knowing anything about this. The authors have blatantly said they have buy-in from MAGA. There are tons of former Trump administration loyalists working on implementing this. And, we know that Trump was super frustrated about the push-back he got from non-partisan staff for some of his "ideas" that were detrimental to the country. All that being said, it is also important to realize that the Heritage Foundation is extremely influential in the GOP. They're push extreme conservative positions, and Project 2025 is the end game. If Trump loses, there will be a project 2029 that will be equally as doubious.
