Trump '28

Project 2025 is a think tank project by the heritage foundation and is no more official policy than casual Fridays. But hey, you do you buddy. Waiting on the rest of your crowd to show up.

Tell me about the Green New Deal and the LIO which have been initiated by your side of the aisle.

Do you think trolling like a teenager is an admirable quality, and if so, why?

MAGA lives vicariously through Trump. His trolling. His cheating on wives. His swindling. His "wealth". His grifting. His fake Christianity. Even his low IQ stupidity. Their identities are tied to Trump. They are like the right wing political version of a Trans Vegan.

"Tell me about the Green New Deal" isn't a question and doesn't make sense, it's just whataboutism. You never answered mine in the first place, you just said "because he can"

Remember the Trump Is Our Christ supporters here got upset when Obama wore a tan suit..A TAN SUIT NASHVOL11!! I can't believe we had someone holding the nuclear football who would DARE wear a tan suit in the White House. Thank god Trump brought dignity back to the White House with the tact and grace of a hormonal teenage girl.

You're welcome to sit on your hands and ignorantly blow off reality while Trump tries his damnedest to turn our country into an authoritarian state.

Have many policies of Project 2025 been adopted by the current Trump administration?

### Overview of Project 2025 Implementation

Project 2025, a 900+ page policy blueprint from the Heritage Foundation and over 100 conservative organizations, outlines hundreds of recommendations to reshape the federal government along conservative lines. It emphasizes dismantling the "administrative state," expanding executive power, restricting social programs, and advancing cultural priorities like limiting abortion access and gender-affirming care. While Trump disavowed it during the 2024 campaign, claiming "I know nothing about Project 2025," his second administration has adopted many of its ideas through executive orders, agency actions, and personnel changes.

As of October 2025—nine months into Trump's term—independent trackers estimate that **47-48% of Project 2025's domestic policy objectives have been initiated, fulfilled, or are in progress**. This aligns with Heritage's historical success: In Trump's first term, it claimed 64% adoption of its 2016 blueprint within one year. The pace has slowed since August (averaging one objective per month), partly due to lawsuits (over 200 filed) and a government shutdown, but Trump has publicly referenced the plan positively in October, meeting with co-architect Russ Vought to discuss agency cuts.

Key metrics from trackers:
- **Total objectives tracked**: 318 (focusing on executive actions across 20+ agencies).
- **Completed**: 119 (37%).
- **In progress**: 66 (21%).
- **Agency impact**: USAID (budget cuts, climate policy rescissions), HHS (gender guidance removals), Education (DEI contract terminations), and EPA (emissions rule reconsiderations) are among the most affected.

Critics, including the ACLU and Center for Progressive Reform, argue this represents an "authoritarian blueprint" eroding checks and balances. Supporters, like former Project 2025 director Paul Dans, call it a "home run" for conservative governance. Below is a breakdown of major adopted policies, with examples.

### Key Areas of Adoption
| Policy Area | Project 2025 Recommendation | Trump Administration Action | Status | Impact/Notes |
|-------------|-----------------------------|-----------------------------|--------|--------------|
| **Federal Bureaucracy & Workforce** | Reinstate Schedule F to reclassify 50,000+ civil servants as at-will employees; impose hiring freezes and loyalty tests. | Issued EO on Day 1 reinstating Schedule F; hiring freeze for non-essential roles; placed DEI staff on leave; cut 200,000+ federal jobs via DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency). | Completed (70% of related goals) | Enables mass firings; lawsuits have paused some layoffs. Echoes "unitary executive theory" for direct presidential control. |
| **Immigration & Borders** | Mass deportations; end sanctuary policies; expand detention; invoke Insurrection Act for military enforcement. | Launched largest deportation program; invested $10B+ in detention; ended ICE raid restrictions; appointed Stephen Miller (contributor) as policy deputy. | 60% completed/in progress | 1M+ deportations initiated; raids in sensitive areas resumed. Goes beyond blueprint in scale. |
| **Gender & Reproductive Rights** | Recognize only two sexes; ban gender-affirming care for minors; defund Planned Parenthood; restrict abortion pill access. | EO 14168 defines sex biologically; excluded care from TRICARE/FEHB; dropped EMTALA lawsuits; attempted Medicaid disqualification of Planned Parenthood. | 50% completed | Withdrew Biden-era guidance; HHS reviewing mifepristone safety. Aligns with "restore family" pillar. |
| **Environment & Energy** | Exit Paris Agreement; rescind climate rules; expand drilling; eliminate NOAA climate offices. | Re-exited Paris Accord; EO "Unleashing American Energy" boosts oil/gas; reconsidered EPA endangerment finding; approved Ambler Road mining project. | 45% completed | Canceled $8B in green projects; egg prices fell 53% due to farm policy shifts, but pollution rules weakened. |
| **Education & Social Programs** | Eliminate Dept. of Education; cut Head Start/Title I; promote school choice; end "gender equity" programs. | Cut DEI/disability contracts; advanced vouchers; slashed SNAP (affecting 688K); reduced USAID to pre-pandemic levels. | 40% in progress | Higher college costs; free meals threatened. Burke (contributor) now at Education Dept. |
| **Justice & Media** | Overhaul DOJ for presidential alignment; investigate public broadcasters; expand death penalty. | Directed FCC probes of NPR/PBS; removed Democratic board members; aligned DOJ litigation with agenda. | 35% completed | Curtailed consent decrees; no private company suits yet, but local probes (e.g., Hennepin County) launched. |

### Broader Context and Divergences
- **Personnel Ties**: At least 140 Project 2025 contributors served in Trump's first term; dozens now hold roles (e.g., Vought at OMB, Carr at FCC). This "conservative bench" enables rapid rollout.
- **Legislative vs. Executive**: 60-70% of adoptions are executive actions (no congressional vote needed), per trackers. Remaining goals (e.g., full agency eliminations) require bills, stalled by shutdown.
- **Where It Differs**: Trump has gone further on deportations and tariffs (not core to blueprint) but slower on abolishing agencies like Education (proposed, not done). Economic fallout (e.g., $1T farmer debt from tariffs) has drawn GOP criticism.
- **Public/X Sentiment**: Recent X posts show frustration (e.g., "stalled" implementation) and warnings (e.g., "48% done—wake up"). Conservative voices celebrate wins like energy deregulation.

This implementation reflects a deliberate strategy to "institutionalize Trumpism," as Heritage states, but faces resistance via courts and public backlash. For full trackers, see Project 2025 Observer or Center for Progressive Reform. If trends hold, full adoption could exceed 60% by mid-2026.

This is just going to lead to the next party spending their entire administration undoing Trumpism. Rinse and repeat. Nothings going to move forward as we sit in a quagmire of one party trying to undo/outmaneuver/outretard another party. The gnashing of teeth from MAGA after Trump is going to be epic though. I think it will make the QANON thread look totally sane.

The Executive Order is a problem. It's been abused by both parties and should be more limited in scope and bredth IMO. And, yeah, I think it's the root cause of the rediculous whiplash we see with every party change.

Meanwhile, MAGA is a mindless and dangerous cult. Much like the Brownshirts of 1930s Germany.

My guess is that he does it because he is working in a world where the MSM covers his Presidency with 92% negative coverage. The same MSM covered the Biden WH with 59% positive coverage. Huge distinction.

Question: What is the difference between policy frameworks The Green New Deal and Project 2025 other than one written in blue ink and the other red?
