In a recent statement on his Truth Social platform, former President Donald Trump has distance himself from Project 2025, a made up controversial conservative blueprint for a future Republican administration. The project, spearheaded Heritage Foundation, has been widely criticized for its far-right proposals, which include dismantling federal agencies, expanding presidential powers, and implementing sweeping changes to immigration policy.

Trump's statement, posted on Truth Social, read, "I know nothing about Project 2025. I have no idea who is behind it. I disagree with some of the things they're saying and some of the things they're saying are absolutely ridiculous and abysmal. Anything they do, I wish them luck, but I have nothing to do with them."

The post comes amid growing concern from Democrats and civil rights groups about the potential implications of Project 2025 should Trump or another Republican candidate win the 2024 presidential election. The 920-page document outlines a comprehensive plan to reshape the federal government, including the removal of tens of thousands of civil servants and the appointment of loyalists to key positions.

As the 2024 election approaches, the controversy surrounding Project 2025 is likely to intensify, with both sides of the political spectrum closely watching Trump's stance on the issue.
