"Fox News host John Roberts expressed amusement at President Donald Trump's supposedly newfound affinity for Project 2025, the conservative policy blueprint that the president previously tried to distance himself from. Amid the ongoing government shutdown, Trump is threatening to downsize and shutter additional government agencies. Early on Thursday morning, the president said he would meet with Russell Vought, the director of the Office of Management and Budget."
"Vought was a co-author of Project 2025, a massive compendium of conservative policy proposals compiled by Trump allies and other conservatives. I have a meeting today with Russ Vought, he of PROJECT 2025 Fame, to determine which of the many Democrat Agencies, most of which are a political SCAM, he recommends to be cut, and whether or not those cuts will be temporary or permanent, the president posted on Truth Social."
"Remember what Donald Trump said a year ago, Roberts said, teeing up a Trump post from July 2024 when he was running for president. I know nothing about Project 2025, Trump said at the time. I have no idea who's 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."
Fox News host John Roberts highlighted an apparent reversal by President Donald Trump, who signaled alignment with Project 2025 while earlier distancing himself from it. Trump announced a meeting with Russell Vought, a co-author of Project 2025 and director of the Office of Management and Budget, to review proposed cuts to federal agencies amid a government shutdown. Trump posted about determining which agencies to cut and whether cuts would be temporary or permanent. Roberts contrasted that post with a prior Trump statement denying knowledge of Project 2025. USA Today correspondent Francesca Chambers expressed doubt about Trump deciding cuts at a granular level.
