I mean, that may well be true considering how fucking stupid he is, but it’s not like the project doesn’t align with his interests regardless of whether he knows jack shit about it
One of the many many many things I’ve hated about Trump is that it doesn’t even need to specifically align with his interests as long as it doesn’t get in his way.
Republicans: “we’re going to do XYZ.”
Trump: “Will that affect me? If not who cares, have fun.”
He has always contradicted himself in different settings because he is a bullshitter who says what he thinks people want to hear. He does it more in the same setting or even sentence now than he used to, but there is zero chance he has forgotten what Project 2025 is as a concept.
Oh yeah absolutely; I’m not saying it’s likely he doesn’t know what Project 2025 is, just that his – and conservatives’ more generally – goals align with it so people associated with it are going to end up in positions of power if he gets elected.
Not that Republicans need Trump to win to implement the Project, and in fact they’re already doing it on federal and state levels. See eg. this PDF fact sheet[1] by Appropriations Committee Ranking Member Rosa DeLauro. And here[2] is an article about how the Project is connected to Tennessee lawmakers and legislation, as an example of state level stuff
Trump knows the transaction behind it, he trades the democracy/freedoms of the US to the christofascists in exchange for being the “dear leader” the playbook helps consolidate power around. He can then squash all his legal problems and ride out his days LARPing being Putin until his dementia becomes an issue and the party “retires” him.
I thought Trump has no idea what project 2025 is.

Or someone doesn’t miss next time
And had nothing to do with it
And doesn’t want it
unless he gets another shot to be dic(k)tator ‘for a day’.
All those people being directly in his orbit is coincidence. /s
