Trump’s Executive Orders Echo Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025 Blueprint

Despite disavowing the conservative policy agenda during his campaign, Trump’s early actions align with the controversial recommendations.

An analysis reveals that nearly two-thirds of Trump’s executive orders in his second term reflect proposals from the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025 policy blueprint.
Key executive actions include aggressive immigration reforms, such as deploying military personnel to the border and suspending the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program.
Trump has reinstated policies to reduce federal workforce protections, including reviving the Schedule F executive order to classify some civil servants as political appointees.
Environmental and energy policies mirror Project 2025’s recommendations, including expanding oil and gas drilling in Alaska and withdrawing from the Paris Climate Agreement.
Several Project 2025 contributors, including Russell Vought and Brendan Carr, have been appointed to prominent roles in Trump’s administration.
