Former President Trump’s ties to Project 2025 revealed as Republican Party platform is confirmed

Despite Trump’s attempts to distance himself from Project 2025, the two worlds remain deeply intertwined. Several key former members of the Trump administration are involved with the project, including Stephen Miller, who recently helped Trump with debate prep and acted as a surrogate in the spin room following the CNN presidential debate in Atlanta — and who appears in Project 2025’s educational “presidential administration academy” video and whose organization, America First Legal, is listed as among its advisory members.

Members of Trump’s PAC-funded groups also sit on the project’s advisory board, including Conservative Partnership Institute, an organization led by Trump’s former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, which received a $1 million donation from Trump’s Save America PAC in 2021.

The Trump campaign’s now-national press secretary Karoline Leavitt is also prominently featured in Project 2025’s “presidential administration academy” video, which the group says is designed to train the next generation of conservative politicians.

Trump’s narcissistic lying poses a significant threat to democracy, as it undermines the trust in the political process and erodes the foundation of a functioning society. His constant dissemination of falsehoods and manipulation of facts for personal gain sets a dangerous precedent for future leaders and the integrity of the democratic system (source: [ABC News](https://abcnews.go.com/)).
