Trump Distances from Heritage Foundation's Project 2025

Donald Trump has distanced himself from Project 2025, a plan by the Heritage Foundation to overhaul the federal government, after its president, Kevin Roberts, suggested it could prompt a 'second American Revolution.' Project 2025 aims to expand presidential powers, replace federal workers with Trump loyalists, and implement conservative policies, including dismantling 'woke' initiatives and reducing social welfare programs. Critics, including constitutional law expert Erwin Chemerinsky, warn that the plan is authoritarian and inconsistent with constitutional principles. The Supreme Court's recent ruling granting presidential immunity from prosecution for official acts has been cited by Roberts as a boost for Project 2025. Roberts' remarks about a bloodless revolution have raised alarms among Democrats, who argue the rhetoric incites violence and undermines democratic institutions.
