A question without a good answer – other than the fact that mentally ill, narcissistic sociopaths do stuff like lie when the truth would actually work better.

Back in September, Trump stood at a debate podium and told America, with a straight face, “I have nothing to do with Project 2025,” Trump said in the opening moments of his September debate against Vice President Kamala Harris. “That’s out there. I haven’t read it. I don’t want to read it, purposely. I’m not going to read it.” (CNN report from Jan. 31st.)

Fast forward to today:  Russell Vought is confirmed by the republican controlled Senate   (Trump-ass-kissing sycophants) to lead the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), prompting one journalist to report that “A Project 2025 Mastermind Now Holds the Reins of the Federal Bureaucracy.”  This coming on top of numerous reports and facts about how Trump said he hadn’t read Project 2025 – but most of his early executive actions overlap with its proposals:  “A CNN analysis of the 53 executive orders and actions from Trump’s first week in office found that more than two-thirds – 36 – evoke proposals outlined in “Mandate for Leadership,” Project 2025’s 922-page blueprint for the next Republican president. The overlap includes early steps taken by Trump to execute some of his most-touted pledges: cracking down on illegal immigration; dismantling diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives; and rolling back environmental restrictions on oil and gas exploration.”

So once again, Trump’s lies are exposed for the whole world to see.  Wake up Maga(t)s:  If you voted for Trump?  Then YOU are to blame for the coming “decline and fall of the American Empire” (with my apologies to Edward Gibbon for using his book title in a different context).
