Here is the Wiki article on Project 2025, the Republican blueprint for creating a White, Christian, corporate ethno-state in what was previously the USA.

Trump is going to carry out this agenda - or at least the corporatist and racist elements of it. (Or more accurately, his staff is, while the senile, corrupt old fucker drives around Lago in his little golf cart and scams America with crypto launches.

We're going to track Tariff-Hitler and see how he does from time to time in following the blueprint and destroying the USA as we have previously known it.


Project 2025 (also known as the 2025 Presidential Transition Project[3]) is a political initiative published in April 2023 by the American conservative think tank The Heritage Foundation. The project aims to promote conservative and right-wing policies to reshape the federal government of the United States and consolidate executive power, originally under the premise that Donald Trump would win the 2024 presidential election.[4][5][6]

Project 2025 is the ninth iteration of the Mandate for Leadership series, published since 1981. The project asserts a controversial interpretation of the unitary executive theory, according to which the entire executive branch is under the complete control of the U.S. president.[7][8][9] It proposes reclassifying tens of thousands of federal civil service workers as political appointees in order to replace them with people loyal to the president.[10] Proponents of the project argue it would dismantle what they view as a vast, unaccountable, and mostly liberal governmental bureaucracy.[11] The project also seeks to infuse the government and society with conservative Christian values.[12][13] Critics have characterized Project 2025 as an authoritarian, Christian nationalist plan to steer the U.S. toward autocracy.[12][14][15][16] Legal experts have said it would undermine the rule of law,[17] separation of powers,[5] separation of church and state,[18] and civil liberties.[5][17][19]

Project 2025 envisions sweeping changes to economic and social policies and the federal government and its agencies. The plan proposes taking partisan control of the Department of Justice (DOJ), Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Department of Commerce (DOC), Federal Communications Commission (FCC), and Federal Trade Commission (FTC), dismantling the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and abolishing the Department of Education (ED), whose programs would be transferred or terminated.[20][21] It calls for making the National Institutes of Health (NIH) less independent, stopping it from funding research with embryonic stem cells, and reducing environmental and climate change regulations to favor fossil fuels.[17][22][23][24] The blueprint seeks to institute tax cuts,[25] but its writers disagree on protectionism.[26] The project seeks to cut Medicare and Medicaid,[27][28] and urges the government to explicitly reject abortion as health care.[29][30] It seeks to eliminate coverage of emergency contraception[27] and use the Comstock Act to prosecute those who send and receive contraceptives and abortion pills.[30][31] It proposes criminalizing pornography and imprisoning those who produce it,[32][33] removing legal protections against discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity,[33][34] and terminating diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs[5][34] while having the DOJ prosecute "anti-white racism" instead.[35] The project recommends the arrest, detention, and mass deportation of illegal immigrants living in the U.S.[36][37][38] It proposes deploying the military for domestic law enforcement.[39] It promotes capital punishment and the speedy "finality" of those sentences.[40][41] It hopes to undo "[al]most everything implemented" by the Biden administration.[42]

Although Project 2025 cannot legally promote presidential candidates without endangering its 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status, many contributors are associated with Trump and his 2024 presidential campaign.[43][44][45][46] The Heritage Foundation employs many people closely aligned with Trump,[47][48][49] including members of his 2017–2021 administration,[50] and coordinates the initiative with conservative groups run by Trump allies.[12] Some Trump campaign officials have had regular contact with Project 2025, and told Politico in 2023 that the project aligned well with their Agenda 47 program, though they have since said that it does not speak for Trump or his campaign.[11][51][52][53] The project's controversial proposals led Trump and his campaign to distance themselves from it in 2024; Trump said he knew "nothing about it" and that "some of the things [Project 2025 says] are absolutely ridiculous and abysmal".[47][54][55][56] The project's president, Kevin Roberts, said in response that no one at Project 2025 had "hard feelings" for Trump because they knew "he's making a political tactical decision there".[57] Critics dismissed Trump's claims, pointing to the various people close to Trump who helped to draft the project, the many contributors who are expected to be appointed to leadership roles in a future Trump administration, his endorsement of the Heritage Foundation's plans for his administration in 2022, and the 300 times Trump himself is mentioned in the plans.[58][59][60][61]

After Trump won the 2024 election, he nominated several of the plan's architects and supporters to positions in his administration.[62] Four days into Trump's second term, analysis conducted by Time found that nearly two-thirds of his executive actions "mirror or partially mirror" proposals from Project 2025.[63]

The Project envisions eventually moving from an income tax to a consumption tax, such as a national sales tax.[143] In the interim, the Project seeks to extend the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (TCJA).[25] It further recommends simplifying individual income taxes to two flat tax rates: 15% on incomes up to the Social Security Wage Base ($168,600 in 2024), and 30% above that. An unspecified standard deduction would be included, but most deductions, credits and exclusions would be eliminated.[143] The proposal would likely increase taxes significantly for millions of low- and middle-income households.[144]

It aims to reduce the corporate tax rate from 21% to 18%, calling it "the most damaging tax" in the country. The 2017 TCJA cut the rate from 35% to 21%.[32][145] It proposes reducing the capital gains rate for high earners to 15% from the 2024 level of 20%.[144][146] After these reforms are implemented, it recommends that a three-fifths vote threshold be required to pass legislation that increases individual or corporate income tax, to "create a wall of protection" for these reforms,[32][147] despite a wide consensus that enforcing legislation that binds a subsequent Congress is unconstitutional.[148]

The project proposes merging the Bureau of Economic Analysis, the Census Bureau, and the Bureau of Labor Statistics into a single organization, and aligning its mission with conservative principles. It recommends maximizing the hiring of political appointees in statistical analysis positions.[143] It also recommends that Congress abolish the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.[149] It plans to abolish the FTC, which is responsible for enforcing antitrust laws, and shrink the role of the National Labor Relations Board, which protects employees' ability to organize and fight unfair labor practices.[150] Some of the authors worked for Amazon, Meta, and Bitcoin companies directly or as lobbyists.[151] Darrell West argues the inconsistencies in the plan are designed for fund-raising from certain industries or donors that would benefit.[150]

Project 2025 suggests abolishing the Economic Development Administration (EDA) at the Department of Commerce, and, if that proves impossible, having the EDA instead assist "rural communities destroyed by the Biden administration's attack on domestic energy production".[120] By 2023, the Biden administration had already granted more permits for oil and gas drilling than did its predecessor.[126] Project 2025 also seeks to facilitate innovations in the civilian nuclear industry.[36]: 9 [152]

The project declares that "God ordained the Sabbath as a day of rest" and recommends legislation requiring that Americans be paid more for working on Sunday.[120] It also aims to institute work requirements for people reliant on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, which issues food stamps.[19] Additionally, its proposed changes to overtime rules could weaken protections and decrease overtime pay for some workers.[153]

Project 2025 is split on the issue of foreign trade.[118] Mandate author Peter Navarro advises a "fair trade" policy of reciprocal, higher tariffs on the European Union, China, and India, to achieve a balance of trade, though not all U.S. levies are lower than those of its major trading partners.[26] On the other hand, Mandate author Kent Lassman of the Competitive Enterprise Institute promotes a "free trade" policy of lowering or eliminating tariffs to cut costs for consumers, and calls for more free trade agreements.[26] He argues that Trump's and Biden's tariffs have undermined not just the American economy, but also the nation's international alliances.[25]

A major concern of Project 2025 is what it calls "woke propaganda" in public schools.[118] In response, it envisions a dramatic reduction of the federal government's role in education, and the elevation of school choice and parental rights.[20] For Project 2025, education should be left to the states.[19] To achieve that goal, it proposes eliminating the Department of Education, and allowing states to opt out of federal programs or standards. Programs under the Individuals with Disabilities' Education Act (IDEA) would be administered instead by the Department of Health and Human Services. The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) would become part of the Census Bureau.[20]

The federal government, according to Project 2025, should be no more than a statistics-keeping organization when it comes to education. Federal enforcement of civil rights in schools would be significantly curtailed, and such responsibilities would be transferred to the Department of Justice, but the DOJ would be able to enforce the law only through litigation. The federal government would no longer investigate schools for signs of disparate impacts of disciplinary measures on the basis of race or ethnicity. Project 2025 explicitly rejects the "pursuit of racial parity in school discipline indicators—such as detentions, suspensions, and expulsions—over student safety".[20]

A federal fund worth $18 billion for low-income students (Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965) would be allowed to expire,[20] and those responsibilities would devolve to the states.[21] Public funds for education would be available as school vouchers with no strings attached, even for parents sending their children to private or religious schools.[20] Cuts would be made to the funding for free school meals. The Head Start program that provides services to children of low-income families would be eliminated.[21][154] For the project's backers, education is a private rather than a public good.[20] Project 2025 criticizes any programs to forgive student loans.[155]

Project 2025 encourages the president to ensure that "any research conducted with taxpayer dollars serves the national interest in a concrete way in line with conservative principles".[120][32]: 686  For example, research in climatology should receive considerably less funding, in line with Project 2025's views on climate change.[156]


Works of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) would be dramatically curtailed due to the Heritage Foundation's distaste for what it calls the agency's "divisive political and cultural agenda that promotes abortion, climate extremism, gender radicalism, and interventions against perceived systemic racism". The word "gender" would be systematically purged from all USAID programs and documents. Project 2025 indicates specific United Nations agencies to be defunded and suggests the president be given more power to allocate U.S. foreign aid.[193] Such aid will not be allocated to help poorer countries address the impact of climate change. Rather, it will be devoted to advancing fossil fuel companies' interests.[156]

Project 2025 favors neither interventionism nor isolationism. Instead, it emphasizes that all decisions related to foreign policy must prioritize national interests.[194]

The Wiki article goes on and on and on about this radical agenda.

I believe that the tariff initiatives are part of Project 2025 and that Trump is following the ultra protectionist wing of the Project 2025 assholes.

Oh and Project 2025 hates porno, women's rights, extra marital sex, sex work and abortion. Of course. Cos Jesus hates those things as well.

The people in charge of the executive orders are clearly following the general Project2025 plan.

Yes. The only issue is whether he will try to enact the sexual morality parts of the plan, which are even less popular than the other parts.

The real targets of the anti-porn stuff are queer folk, so that's already in motion.

They've already (trumps lawyer and his Press secretary) said only Pres Trump and AG Pam Bondi can interpret the law. And that the 14th Amendment to the US Constitution is "unconstitutional".
Fuck me.

Yesterday or the day before. After the Federal Court had already temporarily stayed the EO.

None of it makes sense, except perhaps to Earp, Richie and Mitch.

Elon spent $250 million to buy trump and he's already being shunned.
Why anyone would give him money when he's so untrustworthy beats me.
Still, the world be a better place if he was listening to Qatar over Israel.

He's cancelled some of his cuts already.

Anyone that gave Trump money and thought they could own him is an IDIOT. He is a 1 term president. WTF they gonna do if he tells them to fuck off? Elon got his MARS mission put on the agenda, thats a multi billion $ payback on his 250m pocket change. Yes I am hoping Qatar holds sway at the Whitehouse. Jarrod got like 2B. And unlike the American oligarchs, Arab rulers CAN take revenge down the road. I am pretty sure Qatar could kill Jarrod and get away with it.
