Here's how much Trump took cues from The Heritage Foundation before, when he was President:
Examples of some of the most notable policy recommendations and their adoption or implementation by the Trump administration include:
Leaving the Paris Climate Accord: In August 2017, Trump announced the U.S. was ending its funding and membership in the Paris Agreement on Climate Change.
Repealing Net Neutrality: In December 2017, Trump’s Federal Communications Commission chairman proposed ending the 2015 network neutrality rules.
Reshaping National Monuments: Heritage’s recommendation to prohibit Land Acquisition (Cap and Reduce the Size of the Federal Estate) was adopted by Trump when he issued two executive orders effectively shrinking the size of national monuments in Utah.
Reinstating the Mexico City Policy: This executive order prevents taxpayer money from funding international groups involved in abortion and ending funding to the United Nations Population fund. On Jan. 23, 2017, in his first pro-life action, Trump signed an executive order today reinstating the Mexico City Policy.
Increasing Military Spending: Trump’s budget calls for a $54 billion increase in military spending to improve capacity, capability, and readiness of America’s armed forces.
Reforming Temporary Assistance for Needy Families Program (TANF): The Trump administration adopted and is in favor of strengthening existing work requirements in order to receive benefits.
Allowing Development of Natural Resources: The Trump administration opened off-shore drilling and on federal lands. Executive Order 13783 directed Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke to commence federal land coal leasing activities.
Reforming Government Agencies: Trump tasked each of his Cabinet secretaries to prepare detailed plans on how they propose to reduce the scope and size of their respective departments while streamlining services and ensuring each department runs more efficiently and handles tax dollars appropriately.
Withdrawing from UNESCO: In October 2017, Trump announced he was putting an end to U.S. membership in the United Nations Education, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).

Have you seen this Trump post on truth social today?
I know nothing about Project 2025. I have no idea who is behind it. I disagree with some of the things they re saying and some of the things they're saying are absolutely ridiculous and abysmal. Anything they do, I wish them luck, but I have nothing to do with them.

Former President Trump attempted to distance himself from the Heritage Foundation's Project 2025 Friday, claiming he had nothing to do with it and that parts of it are "absolutely ridiculous and abysmal."

LOL I don't believe that.
Do you believe that Donald Trump is that ignorant to a group that he pandered to last election, whose wish list he fulfilled in spades and this campaign's biggest donor, who is already recruiting and training the White House staff that Trump will be replacing day 1.
Donald Trump lies better than he does anything else.

I believe sook and annee are actual real ATS members and not part of the borg collective, they have been mislead but are real average people. So argue with them how you want but please keep in mind they represent your neighbors, friends, and family that also have been lied to and don't understand.

Unfortunately by then it may be socially acceptable to put the elderly down because of the burden on society they will be.
(And the things they remember about the past)

I think I can demonstrate why normal conversations don't happen.
if you could answer two quick questions, we can have a regular dialog.
1. What good things can come from an open border?
2. What good things can come from pushing DEI in the military?
Thanks in advance for your answers. If you also think those are bad things, then we are in rare agreement. If not, then I'd love to understand why you think like you do.
The border issue is happening worldwide. Mostly a southern to northern movement. Why is that?

I think free euthanasia should be offered to everyone.
I have no fear of dying — but I am atheist.
Being near 80 myself — I fear loss of independence and quality of life. And pain.
Why should I suffer — because of other people’s beliefs?

Those are questions that interest you.

Most of my posts are related to social equality -- which I have addressed. What is your objection?
