During the 2024 presidential campaign, President Donald Trump insisted, over and over again, that Project 2025 had nothing to do with him or his campaign and the project’s director, Paul Dans, was pushed out as a scapegoat. But now, as we approach the two-month mark of Trump’s second term, it looks like Dans may be having the last laugh as many of Project 2025’s agenda items are being aggressively implemented by the White House.

Many Trump critics were always skeptical of his claimed rejections of Project 2025 during the campaign, pointing to the nearly 150 people who worked for Trump who then worked on Project 2025 and other close ties between Trump’s inner circle and the conservative blueprint’s creators at the Heritage Foundation.

Dans took a bit of a victory lap in an interview with Politico’s Michael Hirsch, who wrote that the former Project 2025 “chief architect” had now “effectively confirmed what Democrats were saying all along and Trump himself denied: There really is almost no difference between Project 2025 and what Trump was planning all along and is now implementing.”

“It’s actually way beyond my wildest dreams,” Dans told Hirsch. “It’s not going to be the easiest road to hoe going forward. The deep state is going to get its breath back. But the way that they’ve been able to move and upset the orthodoxy, and at the same time really capture the imagination of the people, I think portends a great four years.”
