Trump's Sudden Shift: Project 2025 Takes Center Stage

Donald Trump has done a complete 180 on Project 2025, a plan he once distanced himself from. Now, he's using the government shutdown to push its goals, like cutting federal jobs and targeting Democratic states. This plan, created by his allies, includes some extreme ideas, like banning pornography and restricting abortion medication. Trump has even hired key people behind the project for his administration. The shutdown is being used to speed up these changes. Agencies are preparing for mass firings, not just furloughs. Projects supported by Democrats, like green energy and transportation, are being canceled or delayed. This is all part of a bigger plan to give the president more power and control over the federal government. Critics are upset, saying Trump lied about his involvement. They warn that this could lead to serious consequences. But Trump's team says Democrats are just trying to distract from the shutdown. They believe the shutdown gives Trump more power to make decisions without Congress.
