Transition officials have used Project 2025's extensive personnel database for potential candidates to hire for the incoming administration, a person familiar the plans said.

Summary

Despite disavowing Project 2025 during the campaign, Trump’s transition team is now using its extensive database of vetted conservative candidates to help fill over 4,000 government positions.

Project 2025, criticized for its extreme policy proposals and links to Trump’s first administration, created a “conservative LinkedIn” of 10,000 candidates.

While some contributors are being tapped for key roles, others face rejection due to controversial stances.

Democrats, who used Project 2025 in campaign attacks, are warning of its influence on Trump’s agenda and planning policy responses.

    They never came up with any other plan

    The guy said he had concepts of plans in a debate designed as a platform for candidates to let America know what their plans are.

    And then we elected him anyways.

    Americans are fucking stupid.

    Take politics and politicians out of the equation and you’re still left with stupid fucking Americans. And THAT is why we’re doomed in the long run.
