Lies, And Deceit

Do you remember all though the campaign Trump distanced himself from Project 2025… well that didn’t last long after the election!

Project 2025 has begun. And Donald Trump’s allies are now openly celebrating it.

“Now that the election is over I think we can finally say that yeah actually Project 2025 is the agenda,” wrote conservative commentator Matt Walsh on Wednesday morning, adding “Lol” for good measure.

Former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon, who was recently released from prison, responded on his live War Room podcast with one word: “Fabulous.”

Later during the livestream, Bannon could be seen holding a hard copy of the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025 “Mandate For Leadership” up to the camera in celebration. On election night, Bannon had vowed to eliminate Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, MSNBC, and the Justice Department in an unhinged rant.

Meanwhile, the key author of Project 2025 celebrated Trump’s victory in a statement Tuesday night.

“President Trump has achieved a historic and hard-fought victory: overcoming four sham indictments, surviving two assassination attempts, and overcoming an unprecedented mid-race candidate swap to become the first president since Grover Cleveland to win two nonconsecutive terms,” wrote Heritage Foundation president Kevin Roberts.
Did anyone else expect anything different? After all every word that comes out Trump’s mouth is lie.

Donald Trump has won the election, and Republicans are now comfortable openly admitting that Project 2025 was the plan all along. 

The draconian policy package prepared by the Heritage Foundation in preparation for a second Trump administration was so extremist that in the final months of the campaign, the former president took great pains to publicly distance himself from the project. Its contents, which include a broad expansion of executive powers, a de facto national abortion ban, increased restrictions on contraception, brutal policies against undocumented migrants, and the elimination of several federal agencies (including the Department of Education), didn’t sit well with prospective voters.

Trump feigned ignorance of the plan, despite his close ties to those involved in crafting it, while Democrats did all they could to warn about the conservative blueprint for a second Trump term.

Sure enough, less than 24 hours after the election was called for Trump, his allies, advisers, and prominent supporters were celebrating the now-open road to Project 2025’s implementation.
Trump, et al are just a pack of liars that said anything to get reelected and then the truth comes out once they are elected.
Democrats had attacked Donald J. Trump’s ties to the conservative policy blueprint for reshaping the federal government. Several of its authors served in his administration.

As Donald J. Trump was closing in on the 270 electoral votes that sealed his astounding political victory in the early hours of Wednesday, one of the first groups to salute him was the Heritage Foundation, the conservative think tank behind Project 2025, a policy playbook that Mr. Trump had feigned ignorance about during the campaign.

[...]

Democrats had spent months trying to tie Mr. Trump to the 900-page plan to overhaul the federal government, one that they had said offered an unvarnished preview of a second-term agenda bent on giving him unchecked powers to exact retribution while undermining abortion rights and climate change reforms.

Despite several of the plan’s authors having served in Mr. Trump’s administration during his first term in the White House, he repeatedly disavowed it on the campaign trail, including when he debated Vice President Kamala Harris. He falsely claimed that he knew nothing about it or the people involved in it.
Trump is now the liar in chief.

Mr. Trump immediately rejected her statement. But the Harris campaign and its supporters had yoked Project 2025 around their opponent’s neck, repeatedly warning that it is his shadow platform and that it is evidence of an extreme second-term agenda. Over many months, they had called it an authoritarian blueprint in an onslaught of advertisements, social media posts and TV appearances.
Everyone knew the truth... but the truth didn't matter to them, they put their pocketbook before the country.

The lies continue! Did you hear what he said...  "a new phenomenon" BULL! But he is an old man and he has selective memory loss... Does Renee Richards ring a bell? What about Christine Jorgensen? Then we have a case where a transgender person got hit over her head with a cane, in 1771 in the first case of "Trans Panic" defense!

And so the pogrom begins...

US President-elect Donald Trump has made two more key appointments ahead of his return to the White House in January.

Tom Homan, 62, will serve as Trump's "border tsar", having previously served as the returning president's acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice).

[...]

Trump has confirmed that Homan will have a wide-ranging role overseeing border security and deportation policy - two of his main campaign issues.
In case you have forgotten...

This is from last month in Newsweek,
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has said he would bring Tom Homan, a Project 2025 contributor, into his administration if he wins November's election.

In a Tuesday appearance on California's KFI radio station, host John Kobylt asked Trump what plans or proposals related to immigration he had "ready to go" if elected.

"You've seen Tom," the former president replied. "You've seen Tom Homan. He's coming on board."
Do you want to guess what part of Project 2025 he wrote? It will be interesting if more Project 2025 authors get appointed.

How can you trust Trump to tell the truth?
