Facing growing backlash, former President Trump called portions of the Project 2025 proposal aimed at overhauling the federal government, authored by some of his former staffers and members of the Heritage Foundation, "ridiculous and abysmal."

The Heritage Foundation handed Trump a list of things to do in 2017, and Trump implemented 90% of that list. And Trump says he knows nothing about P2025, yet states he thinks some of it is wrong etc. That means HE does know about P2025 and is just lying again. It has everything to do with Trump.
