The publication of the president of FCC Brendan Carr shows that the 2025 project was the plan

On the campaign of the campaign last year, Donald Trump swore that he knew “nothing” in the 2025 project. As a candidate, he said that he did not even know who had written the extreme right plan for his second term, called some of his “absolutely ridiculous” and “abyssé” ideas and argued that it was “pure disinformation” for the Democrats to try to lier.

In case it was not clear at the time, Trump was lying.

With other journalists, I tried to make this as clear as possible during the campaign, noting the ties that Trump had with his authors, the history that the Heritage Foundation had on his support for his previous ideas and his own remarks – as well as the fact that he had refused to specifically say ideas in the 900 pages of the 2025 project.

When he won a second term, Trump dropped the claim and began to promulgate the 2025 project proposals, in some cases to the letter. During the eight months that followed the inauguration, he checked most of his main proposals:

• Launch of a mass expulsion program

• Purge civil servants and replace them with partisan loyalists

• Found the public dissemination company

• Reduce the role of the Federal Emergency Management Agency in the response to disasters

• Eliminate federal efforts from “diversity, equity and inclusion”

• Prohibit transgender troops in the army

At the same time, he appointed the co-author of the 2025 project, Russell Vought, director of the management and budget office. He appointed the contributor EJ Antoni as a commissioner for labor statistics, despite the absence of the usual diplomas. (The Senate has not yet voted on Antoni’s confirmation.) And he appointed Brendan Carr, who literally wrote the chapter on the Federal Communications Commission, as president of the FCC.

In the past, a president who has made a major reversal of a campaign promise should show a certain contrition, or else to explain their reversal due to changing circumstances, as Woodrow Wilson did when he broke his commitment to keep the United States away from the Second World War or George HW Bush when he signed a budget that increased taxes in the United States.

Trump gave no explanation. But the CARR of the FCC simply clarified that it thinks it is a big joke.

After ABC, the host of the late evening show suspended Jimmy Kimmel, Kevin Mchale, an actor and singer that you may remember as an artie on the television program “Glee”, published on X that “everything was in the 2025 project, BTW”. Carr then responded by publishing a common reaction gif of actor Jack Nicholson of the film “Anger Management” nodding “Yes”.
