Trump Building Dangerous Project 2025 Cabinet
During election campaign Trump take distance himself but now creating Project 2025 cabinet that supported his views. Project 25 summary was a shadowy notion on the edges of Donald Trump 2024 run for presidency, but now the ex-president is touting the initiative even more actively since the members of Project 2025 formulating the vision are staffing his second-term administration.
This conservative crusade, promoted by the Heritage Foundation, is to reestablish the values of federal government based on far-right ideology, and Trump’s recent appointments proves that the future would be build based on this doctrine.
Trump Return to Project 2025: Key Appointments
According to the New York Times, Trump, who previously said he had nothing to do with the project, has enlisted several people linked to the project. These are people who are directly associated with the project and include those who support the mass deportations, the cutting of the federal budget and the disassembly of government agencies. Importantly, at least seven officials with connections to Project 2025 have been named in his administration, including those who worked at the America First Policy Institute, a pro-Trump organisation. The appointment of hisloyalists is a clear indication of a change from when Trump tried to disassociate from the policy document.
Personnel Database: The Heart of Project 2025’s Influence
NBC News states that Trump’s transition team is already using the massive personnel list developed by Project 2025. This database by the Heritage Foundation includes only the candidates checked for their conservative orientation and their willingness to enact the project’s initiatives.

The Return of Project 2025 Cabinet Architects
After winning the 2024 election, Trump put his earlier disowning of Project 2025 behind him. Trump is also putting several of Project 2025 cabinet contributors into high-profile positions such as Office of Management and Budget director Russell Vought and “border czar” Tom Homan, writes Associated Press. The central role these people played in the drafting of the 900 page manifesto that outlines the plan for overhauling the federal government.
Project 2025’s Lasting Impact on Trump Cabinet
With so many of Project 2025 cabinet members already so deeply involved in Trump administration his staff are now teeming with people who were directly involved in creating Project 2025’s detailed policy proposals. The Washington Post reports that the project was assisted by big names such as Tom Homan, John Ratcliffe (CIA director nominee) and Brendan Carr (Federal Communications Commission nominee). These figures have shaped America’s far right policies that will determine how America is going to be if Trump enacts his plans.
A Conservative Revolution Under Trump
Trump’s embrace of Project 2025 follows a period of strategic distance, the New York Magazine points out. But ahead of his return to the White House, Trump has embraced the project’s authors and contributors. Trump is signaling a full hard right shift that aims to radically transform federal government with dozens of members of his cabinet intimately involved in developing the project’s blueprint.
To sum up, Trump’s choice to appoint Project 2025 cabinet loyalists is a sign of his pledge to enact, in a top-down fashion, far-right policies, immigration reform, and a radical reshaping of federal agencies. The Independent points out, however, how the once secret project is now at the heart of Trump’s government, with the Heritage Foundation also playing a behind the scenes role to make its vision for America a reality.
