To The Daily Sun,

A group called Project 2025 has produced a document titled Mandate for Leadership, containing a frightening and fascistic plan for our country's future. As its content becomes more public, former President Donald Trump has tried to distance himself from it, with Trump even claiming he has "no idea who is behind it."

The denial is false. The architect of the controversial project is Kevin Roberts, president of the Heritage Foundation. His group authored the 900-page mandate, expressly referenced as a guide for the next president. The group was comprised largely of people from Trump's prior administration, six former cabinet secretaries and approximately 140 other members of the Trump administration.

The Heritage Foundation has long been a strong Trump ally, and was the primary source for Trump's judicial appointments, including the three new Supreme Court appointments who cast the deciding votes to overturn Roe v. Wade.

Recent events also underscore Trump's close ties with Project 2025. In a recent book explaining the Project 2025 mission, Roberts wrote; "We are in the process of taking this country back. We are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless, if the left allows it to be." Contrary to his feigned ignorance about Project 2025, Trump clearly blessed Roberts and Project 2025, through his hand-picked running mate. J.D. Vance wrote a glowing review of Roberts' book, describing it as an articulation of "a generally new future for conservatism." Vance added: "It's time to circle the wagons and load the muskets. In the fights that lay ahead, these are an essential weapon."

Let's pry open the curtain in front of the Project 2025 plan and explore its aims in more detail, remembering that it is the extremist blueprint for a Trump-Vance regime, despite their pretense otherwise.
