Donald Trump is probably fuming about this interview with former Project 2025 director Paul Dans.

One of the architects of the conservative Project 2025 manifesto demonstrated on CNN Monday the many ways in which Donald Trump is tied to the project.

Speaking to Kaitlin Collins on The Source, the project’s former director, Paul Dans, admitted that he’s visited Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate several times and has spoken with Trump’s campaign staff there, including the campaign’s co-chair Susie Wiles.

    It’s the out of control, moneyed interests in this country that are the real problem.

    Wealth inequality is the problem that spawns all other problems, and until we make strides to get it back under control we will forever be putting out little fires that threaten to set the entire country ablaze.

      Wealthy Christian nationalists, specifically. They’re hell-bent on turning the US into a theocracy. They’ve been shedding members at an unprecedented rate (and thus money) as the populace becomes more secular, and since persuasion hasn’t been working, they’ve resolved to take their control back by force.

        I’m to the point where I am pro-tax the rich even if the government took all of the money, put it in a big pile, and then set it on fire like the Joker in the Dark Knight.

        EDIT: In my stump speech, I’ll start proposing this as my plan to fight inflation. /s
