Trump's Executive Orders Mirror Right-Wing Playbook
A new report by Politico reveals striking similarities between President Trump's executive orders and a right-wing playbook titled "Project 2025." This 900-page document, authored by 100 conservative think tanks led by the Heritage Foundation, outlines a detailed policy agenda for a Republican president.
Denying the existence of transgender, nonbinary, and intersex people: Trump's executive order "Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government" echoes the playbook's call to define "sex" under Title IX as solely biological sex assigned at birth.
Trump's executive order halting these programs throughout the federal government mirrors the playbook's assertion that such practices are "vehicles for unlawful discrimination."
Trump's decision aligns with a proposal in Project 2025 to withdraw from international organizations deemed detrimental to U.S. interests.
Trump's executive order "Prioritizing Military Excellence and Readiness" echoes the playbook's call to reverse policies allowing transgender individuals to serve.
Trump's executive order declaring a national emergency at the southern border aligns with the playbook's recommendation to actively defend the border using military resources.
These parallels raise concerns about the influence of Project 2025 on the Trump administration's policies. While the White House maintains that Trump has no connection to the playbook, the evidence suggests otherwise. This raises questions about the transparency and accountability of the administration's decision-making process.
