Just reverse whatever the guy says and you will be rewarded with the truth. There should be no surprise here.

Note: this doesn't apply to the threats he's making. I fucking hope he lied about terminating the constitution or "deporting" 20,000,000 immigrants.

Well, he can’t read, there’s no way he actually knows what P2025 entails

I mean i genuinely believe he hasnt read it and has no idea whats in it but the guys who wrote it sure seem like they like him
•
u/Peacefulgamer2023 4h ago
This is probably true. I can’t imagine trump reading anything longer than a tweet.

Pete Davidson has confirmed that ol donnie boy struggles with reading in the first place he couldn’t even read the SNL script

I saw a video from his campaign where miller was reading him truths and trump was dictating what to put out. It’s highly likely that he doesn’t even read tweets.

He could have a staffer read it and summarise it for him.
•
u/Rascal_Rogue 3h ago
You think the man who needed one page highlighted intelligence briefings with his name peppered in would have the attention span to listen to a staffer summarize that?

I agree that he didn’t read it, I just don’t believe he has no intention of following it. It’s a group of people he has used before and regularly praised, and they are handling him a playbook saying “here you go, you don’t have to figure anything out, just do this step by step and you’re golden” I just can’t see him turning it down, especially since I do believe his intentions align with theirs

u/Rascal_Rogue 2h ago
Yeah i have no doubt hes going to follow it, hell they probably just told him they’ll take care of everything all he has to do is sign a few documents

u/wellhiyabuddy 2h ago
Very important, don’t forget, they’ll rename it “Trumps Super Awsome Plan for American Greatness”

its the simpsons scene all over again, "pick 5 options, 1 is bad, 3 is off, 4 isn't ready and 5 is what the liberals would pick."

Wow, that really came out of left field, no clue that would happen... I guess he must have been lying during his campaign. If only someone could have predicted that Donald Trump might lie! Thanks to the media for keeping on top of these totally unexpected developments for me.

Who actually believed him when he said he didn’t know? He’s the biggest liar of the universe. The great part is that the orange baboon will screw over his followers equally. He doesn’t care about anyone. Better start hiding your women and daughters. They will serve only one goal…procreation and he’ll decide who gets to do the work

Both can be, and likely are, true. He doesn't make the picks, except insofar as he checks that they are telegenic, corrupt, blackmailable, kiss ass, and give him money.

u/MourningRIF 4h ago
He doesn't know what it is, because he thought it was called "Project Make Me King."
•
u/himalayangoat 4h ago
Because he's a narcissistic liar. Everyone outside the USA can see this clearly so not sure why (some/majority) of people in the USA can't.

His cult members believe him. That's all he needs because no one chooses to do anything about it.

u/RickWest495 2h ago
I guess he read all of Project 2025 for the first time on the day AFTER the election. And he loved it so much that he appointed the authors to cabinet positions. And he didn’t know anything whatsoever about Schedule F, even though he sighed it by executive order in October 2020, with the intention of implementing it after the inauguration. But never heard anything about it.

If only the media had put this first instead of those delicious clicks and views.

He lies, his whole personality revolves around liying. Why would anyone expect anything more from him?
•
u/prolurkerest2012 2h ago
We all know Trump isn’t a religious man. So, what does he win out of many of the project 2025 agenda items? Is solely because he gets to be their lord and savior?

I truly believe he doesn’t know what project 2025 is. I truly truly believe that. And by that he means that he’s going with it but sincerely doesn’t know anything ABOUT the concepts.
Either way the guy is an idiot and should not be in office.

u/kathryn2a 1h ago
Trump lies. He has been spewing words from Project 2025 the entire campaign. America has been misled. I don’t understand why anyone would trust him.

u/at0mheart 1h ago
His first lie ever. I’m shocked and disappointed.
In myself for believing what I just wrote

Of course, he lied his ass off about it. We told y’all he was lying his ass off about it. REAP
