Rick Wilson Exposes MAGA Hit List and Exactly Why Trump Disavowed His Brainchild, Project 2025

I am relieved that somebody did this and not the least bit surprised that it would be Rick Wilson. If you have read about Project 2025 as I have, since its inception, it is the brainchild of the inner sanctum of Trump world. It is nothing more, nor less, than the fulmination of MAGA’s greatest “minds,” the cobbling together of the perfect fascist administrative state to accompany a Trump takeover, that is nothing like what we have in place right now. It’s the MAGA blueprint to gut the Civil Service as it currently exists and plant Trump uber loyalists in place in government the very nano second that the keys to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue change hands.

The progenitors of this plan, from its inception, have been none other than John McEntee and Stephen Miller — yet you read the same tweet I did the other day, where Trump ringingly declared that he didn’t know anything about Project 2025 and he thought some of its ideas were “ridiculous” even. I don’t know if your jaw dropped as mine did.

Evidently Rick Wilson’s jaw dropped too, so he went a snooping. And what he found makes perfect sense.

I was able to confirm late last week that this decision by Trump to condemn Project 2025 was a deliberate effort prepared by campaign strategist Chris LaCivita and Trump’s pollster Tony Fabrizio after research came back showing that Project 2025 is poisonous with groups outside the hardest core of the MAGA base. The same research led the Trump campaign to demand that the RNC remove the national abortion ban plank (and other policy statements) from the 2024 GOP Platform.

The 2024 Trump campaign is less leaky than 2016 or 2020, but it tends to brag more to people it thinks are allies. In this case, a mid-tier staffer boasted about how clever Trump’s team was in defusing this potentially radioactive political issue, knowing the press would take the bait and write the headlines and stories the campaign wanted.

This is a warning to the Democrats I’ve been banging on about since last year: Trump’s 2024 campaign isn’t the clown car of absurd figures like Brad Parscale, Corey Lewandowski, Kellyanne Conway, and others. These are serious people who know how to win. While the Democrats squabble and play West Wing fantasy football, Rome is burning, and Trump’s campaign is holding the torch.

This is indeed the case that things are different this time around. When Trump was first elected he was so clueless and naive that neither he, nor Jared Kushner, even knew that they were expected to hire people to carry out day to day tasks like answering the phones or making photocopies. So Jared became Secretary Of Everything and you know what that looked like. In order to forestall a repeat of that, Project 2025 was dreamt up as the perfect implementation of MAGA principles.

Now some media outlets did in fact call Trump out on his recent lie, saying that of course he knew about Project 2025, but this is a story which is getting vastly underplayed, whereas if Joe Biden takes a sip of water on a July day, he’s ready to collapse if not die outright.

Here’s the long and short of it: Trump’s inner circle put together Project 2025. So is he with it or not? Because God forbid he wins, this is what the federal government is going to look like, exactly what Trump’s buddies and the clowns at the Heritage Foundation have designed. So if Trump wants to disavow it, that’s fine. That’s advisable in fact. But we need to know which way he’s going, because this is a big part of the 2024 GOP platform as things stand now. The American people need to know beforehand, not find out later, just how bad a second Trump administration is going to be.

Just who’s involved with Project 2025?

Oh, you know, interns and coffee boys Trump has never, ever met like Stephen Miller (R-Transylvania), Mark Meadows (Former Chief of Staff and Fireplace Aficionado), Johnny McEntee (R-Degenerate Gambler), Russ Vaught (Former OMB head), Paul Dans, Spencer Chetrien, and Troup Hemenway are all former Trump White House or Administration aides.

They’re all scrambling to deny it. Suddenly, Project 2025 gets the “Who? What? Never met him” treatment, but it’s not working.

Johnny McEntee is the ultimate Trump Nationalsozialistischer Führungsoffizier and talent-picker for Trump 2.0 and 2025 is stuck; in 2023 he was hired by Heritage for…wait for it…Project 2025. I’m shocked!

”Ex-Trump aide John McEntee joins Heritage operation as senior adviser” seems like a pretty definitive connection, don’t you think? Again, reporters covering this story know McEntee’s position in the Trump food chain and know the denials ring hollow.

Russ Vaught, who helped write Project 2025 is now the man in charge of — and stop me if you’re surprised about this — writing the Republican Party platform. I mean, it’s such a coincidence.

Stephen Miller denied any ties to Project 2025 and yet here he is in a Heritage Foundation video promoting…wait for it…Project 2025.

This is a major story here and it’s not going away — unless of course, mainstream media decides to underplay it, which looks to be the case. But this is the blueprint for the takeover of the federal government, along with the fact that religious tolerance will be gone in the advent of a Trump win, along with the total absence of executive restraint, thanks to the Supreme Court. So this is major. And Trump’s denial of it is major as well.

Now here’s something I didn’t know about but found in this article. There is a hit list of people to be fired, doxxed, dealt with summarily as enemies of Trump’s new regime. JFC, as if things weren’t bad enough already.

The American Accountability Foundation is creating a hit list of Federal employees to be doxxed, exposed, targeted, and fired in the Trump administration.

“With a $100,000 grant from the Heritage Foundation, the goal is to post 100 names of government workers to a website this summer to show a potential new administration who might be standing in the way of a second-term Trump agenda — and ripe for scrutiny, reclassifications, reassignments or firings.”

Oh, a $100,000 grant from the Heritage Foundation, you say? Well, that is a striking coincidence.

Even Trump’s campaign statements about his “Agenda 47” are a gumbo of Trumpian populist excesses and deserve as much scrutiny as Project 2025. The New York Times “If Trump Wins” piece also breaks down a series of policy ideas and plans that map directly onto Project 2025’s agenda.

If there is a bigger story regarding what our lives will look like on Day One of a second Trump administration, I have not seen it or sniffed it out even remotely. This is it. This is the drop dead, ne plus ultra, ultimate cautionary tale of why we don’t want this man anywhere near the White House. I can only hope that this gets sufficient press and air play. This scares the living hell out of me, I don’t know about anybody else.
