Democrats led by President Joe Biden are organising opposition to what they see as a potential Trump administration in November.
The conservative Heritage Foundation created the blueprint, known as Project 2025, which is one of many think-tank recommendations supporting Trump’s agenda.
It spans more than 900 pages and includes proposals for massive tax cuts, the removal of thousands of government servants, an increase in presidential power, and the dissolution of the Department of Education and other federal institutions.

The Biden campaign said that Trump and his supporters were “dreaming of a violent revolution to destroy the very idea of America” in response to the remarks.
The remarks have brought Project 2025 back into prominence.
Washington think tanks frequently suggest policy wish lists to prospective administrations-in-waiting. During his presidency, Barack Obama’s leftist Centre for American Progress, for instance, was referred to as his “ideas factory.”
What has Trump said about Project 2025?
In early July, Trump said on his social media platform that he knows “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,” he wrote.
“Anything they do, I wish them luck, but I have nothing to do with them.”
However, several people linked to the project worked in Trump’s administration or as allies in his re-election campaign.
- Project 2025 director Paul Dans was chief of staff at the Office of Personnel Management under Trump
- Associate director Spencer Chretien was a former special assistant to Trump and associate director of Presidential Personnel
- Adviser Russell Vought worked in Trump’s Office of Management and Budget.
What is Project 2025?
The Project 2025 document outlines four main aims: restore the family as the centrepiece of American life; dismantle the administrative state; defend the nation’s sovereignty and borders; and secure God-given individual rights to live freely.
It is one of several policy papers for a platform broadly known as Agenda 47 – so-called because Trump would be America’s 47th president if he won.
Heritage says Project 2025 was written by several former Trump appointees and reflects input from more than 100 conservative organisations.
Here’s an outline of several key proposals.

Project 2025 proposes that the entire federal bureaucracy, including independent agencies such as the Department of Justice, be placed under direct presidential control – a controversial idea known as “unitary executive theory”.
In practice, that would streamline decision-making, allowing the president to directly implement policies in a number of areas.
The proposals also call for eliminating job protections for thousands of government-employees, who could then be replaced by political appointees.
The document labels the FBI a “bloated, arrogant, increasingly lawless organization” and calls for drastic overhauls of this and other federal agencies, including eliminating the Department of Education.
