NBC News: Who wrote Project 2025? The plan was created and released by the Heritage Foundation think tank. Not Trump.
At least 100 conservative groups, many with alumni from the Trump administration, came together to craft the proposals for a vast restructuring of the federal government — from installing more political appointees at the Justice Department to reassigning government workers with law enforcement backgrounds to handle illegal immigration to dismantling the Department of Education.
Some of the people involved in Project 2025 are former senior administration officials. The project’s director is Paul Dans, who served as chief of staff at the U.S. Office of Personnel Management under Trump. Trump’s campaign spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt was featured in one of Project 2025’s videos.
John McEntee, a former director of the White House Presidential Personnel Office in the Trump administration, is a senior adviser. McEntee told the conservative news site The Daily Wire earlier this year that Project 2025’s team would integrate a lot of its work with the campaign after the summer when Trump would announce his transition team.
A key Trump ally, Russ Vought, who contributed to Project 2025 and is drafting a final pillar of the plan, is also on the Republican National Committee’s platform writing committee.
PEN: All of the legacy media state contributors to the so-called Project 2025 are or were Trump allies. Do they really think the contributors would be from democrats? “Project 2025, a controversial blueprint for another Republican presidential administration, has been a consistent topic throughout the election, despite Trump denying knowledge or a role in it.” NBC/AP News also state “The plan was written up by many of Trump’s former aides and allies, but Trump has never said he’ll implement the guide. He has also said it was not related to his campaign.”
Trump has repeatedly claimed on the campaign trail that he had “nothing to do” with the unpopular far right manifesto. PEN: It certainly wouldn’t be a far-left manifesto.

Here are a few key points of Project 2025:
- Secure the border, finish building the wall, and deport illegal aliens
- De-weaponize the Federal Government by increasing accountability and oversight of the FBI and DOJ
- Unleash American energy production to reduce energy prices
- Cut the growth of government spending to reduce inflation
- Make federal bureaucrats more accountable to the democratically elected President and Congress
- Improve education by moving control and funding of education from DC bureaucrats directly to parents and state and local governments
- Ban biological males from competing in women’ s sports
PEN: Left wingers, and legacy media, want you to believe everything they write or assert – please don’t do that. The former administration pardoned many of their crooks just before they left office. Most of these people had not been charged with any crime (though that may happen) – so, why pardon someone who has not be declared guilty? We both know why – because they are and were guilty.
Please – think for yourself – not how any far left or far right person or news wants you to think.
