"#Project2025 the blueprint for a second #Trump term, includes plans to remake America’s agriculture and nutrition policy at every turn.
The plan explicitly calls to ignore climate risks, viewing climate policy as unrelated to agriculture.It would deregulate the USDA,loosening oversight over what goes into what we eat and drink–even baby formula. It would even kick hundreds of thousands off of food benefits."
@eddeeMN and Trump has explicitly rejected the plan.
So Trump and other high-profile conservatives have joined with critica of Heritage to say that they are misguided and that this is not the way forward for the country.
It's not a blueprint for a second Trump term because Trump has said that's not anything he's interested in going by.
@eddeeMN that a person is a liar is no justification for setting up a straw man argument.
Still, the fact that key campaigns against this proposal, and that his voters reject the proposal, comes together to say that he would lose support and lose votes should he actually try to implement the thing that he says he doesn't want to implement and that his people don't want him to implement.
It gets into this really nutty conspiracy theory. Yeah, Trump's a liar, but that doesn't give much license to ignore everything else happening in his entire orbit to put words in his mouth and criticize him for the thing that he explicitly rejects.
Just because he's a liar doesn't mean you can ignore everything and make up an alternative story and run with it.
“Rejected”
Agenda 47 (styled by the Trump campaign as Agenda47) is the manifesto of the Republican Party presidential candidate Donald Trump,
[…]
In 2023, Trump campaign officials acknowledged the Project 2025 aligned well with Agenda 47
[…]
Agenda 47 and Project 2025 share many themes and policies, including expanding presidential power such as through reissuing Schedule F,[15]: min.00:14 [16] cuts to the Department of Education, mass deportations of illegal immigrants,[17] the death penalty for drug dealers, and using the US National Guard in liberal cities with high crime rates or those that are “disorderly”.[18][19][20]
@usernamesAreTricky there's a really well-known prototypical logical fallacy that most serial killers drink milk therefore drinking milk must be a sign of a serial killer.
Same thing here.
Just because this rejected white paper does have some overlap with Trump policy doesn't mean Trump supports it despite his rejection.
I mean, we could also say that the Harris campaign supports it because both of them recognize the presidency.
No, sometimes when somebody agrees with you you should take yes for an answer instead of pushing forward with the conspiracy theory.
Do you like what heritage wrote? Think it's a good idea? No? Well Trump and mainstream conservatives say it's not a good idea, so they're on your side here dude. Why promote it?
and everyone knows that Trump always tells the truth, right? where's that health care plan of his from 2016? #ConceptsOfAPlan
