Despite Donald Trump’s repeated claims that he has no connection to Project 2025, our newest investigation reveals that 28 of the 36 speakers in more than 14 hours of never-before-published Project 2025 training videos have worked for the former president in some capacity.
The speakers in the videos are careful not to explicitly side with Trump or talk about what he might do in office. Instead, they refer to a future “conservative president” or “conservative administration.” The videos reveal Project 2025’s plans to train an army of political appointees who could battle against the so-called deep state, a secret network of unelected officials who conspiracists believe control the government. The videos coach future appointees on everything from the nuts and bolts of governing to how to make powerful changes in the way the federal government works and what it does. Here are some suggestions from the videos:
- “Eradicate climate change references from absolutely everywhere”
- “The removal of all the equity plans from all the websites”
-
“Making it clear to career staff that your political appointees are in charge”
