It’s been a few days since his "Truth" denying he knows anything about Project 2025. To be fair, he did say he disagrees with some of the parts of the document he knows nothing about.
From what I’ve read since then, it seems Donald Trump is still pretending he has no idea what Project 2025 is all about.
“I have no idea who is behind it,” the former president recently claimed on social media.
It’s pretty obvious Trump wants us to believe his words over our lying eyes. CNN noted that over 140 Trump administration officials are involved in Project 2025. Not to mention the fact that Trump, in a video resurfaced by MSNBC, was seen speaking at a Heritage event in 2022.
To believe that this man knows nothing about Project 2025 is like believing President Joe Biden when he says has no idea who Barack Obama is. Who does he think he’s fooling?
Biden has one more head-on debate with Trump scheduled for September 10. He NEEDS to hammer Trump on his flimsy lie.
He doesn’t even need to make his attack line full of policy jargon. All he needs to do is ask Trump this:
Isn’t the fact you think you could get away with such a lousy lie a reflection of the contempt you have for the intelligence of American voters?
Let’s suppose Trump interjects by saying he now knows about Project 2025 after he finally started reading the document. Perhaps Biden could counterattack by saying:
If you win this election, you will be governing with an agenda you knew nothing about until 2 months before the election. Folks, it doesn’t have to be this way. America cannot afford a president who doesn’t know what he wants to do.
I admit I’m reaching into West Wing fan-fiction territory here, but if I were Biden I’d LOVE to beat up Trump as if he truly is that ignorant about Project 2025 and thus never heard of it. If that were the case, here’s what Biden should say:
It’s really simple, folks. This man only cares about himself. He doesn’t care about his campaign. He doesn’t care about his staffers and advisors. Who they are, what they’ve done. He doesn’t care about the world outside Truth Social because he can’t stand a world where people don’t kneel before his feet. And most of all, he doesn’t care about you. All he has ever cared about is feeding his Everest-sized ego and making sure you know about it everyday.
As it currently stands, according to one pollster a vast swath of the American public still know nothing about Project 2025. However, the fact it’s universally reviled by almost every demographic that knows about it is promising.
Trump can run but he can’t hide.
This battle is far from over.
