Trump's Early Policies Closely Mirror Project 2025 Blueprint

Despite disavowing the conservative plan during his campaign, President Trump's initial executive actions align with key recommendations from the Heritage Foundation's Project 2025.

  • Over two-thirds of Trump's first-week executive orders reflect proposals from Project 2025, a conservative policy framework developed by the Heritage Foundation.
  • Key actions include restricting transgender rights, freezing federal hiring, and reevaluating foreign aid to align with U.S. policy priorities.
  • Trump's administration has reinstated policies from his first term, such as stricter immigration enforcement and expanded use of the military at the border.
  • The president has staffed key government positions with contributors to Project 2025, despite publicly distancing himself from the plan during his campaign.
  • Some actions go beyond the Project 2025 blueprint, including moves to limit FEMA's role and expand the death penalty's scope.
