Trump Embraces Project 2025
In a surprising turn of events, President-elect Donald Trump has embraced Project 2025 after initially distancing himself from it during the 2024 campaign. This shift in strategy has led to the appointment of several key figures associated with the project to prominent positions in his administration.
This is a huge win for conservatives.
Russell Vought, a central figure in Project 2025, has been appointed as Director of the Office of Management and Budget. Vought envisions a powerful role for the OMB, aiming to centralize authority and override bureaucracies. Stephen Miller, known for his hardline stance on immigration, has been named Deputy Chief of Policy.
“President Trump never had anything to do with Project 2025,” Trump spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said.
Trump’s cabinet selections reflect a mix of loyalty and strategic positioning. JD Vance, who previously criticized Trump, has been chosen as Vice-President – and that decision turned out really well. Remember how great he was in the debates?
Other notable appointments include Tulsi Gabbard as Director of National Intelligence, Marco Rubio as Secretary of State, and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for Health and Human Services. These selections demonstrate Trump’s effort to build a diverse team with varied expertise.
Trump’s immigration policies align closely with Project 2025, as evidenced by the appointment of Tom Homan as “border czar.” Stephen Miller, a key architect of Trump’s previous immigration policies, will play a crucial role in implementing restrictive measures.
Kristi Noem’s selection for Homeland Security further underscores the administration’s focus on border security and immigration control. These appointments signal a continued commitment to Trump’s “America First” agenda.
White House Staff and Legal Team
And what about the White House and Trump’s legal team?
Susie Wiles, a veteran political operative, has been named White House Chief of Staff. Her appointment is seen as a strategic move to strengthen Trump’s political apparatus.
The White House statement noted that Wiles “helped transform the Mar-a-Lago political operation into a national presidential campaign apparatus.” This appointment, along with others, is “aligned with the administration’s short- and long-term objectives.”
The team is shaping up to be perhaps the most consequential administration in American history – and with the news that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. appears to have the votes he needs in the Senate to become the new HHS secretary, America could look very different very quickly.
We could soon be a healthy, safe, and strong country again. Just like Trump promised.
