Except:
Trump, in April '22, keynoted a Heritage dinner as it began work on Project 2025: “This is a great group & they’re going to lay the groundwork & detail plans for exactly what our movement will do ... when the American people give us a colossal mandate to save America."

Trump also stated he will bring back former administration member and assistant to authors of the Project Tom Homan. Vance wrote the forward in another of the projects author's new book.
But, yeah, yeah, want nothing to do with it... OK.
This is a great group & they’re going to lay the groundwork & detail plans for exactly what our movement will do ...

Hey, he said this, not me:
This is a great group & they’re going to lay the groundwork & detail plans for exactly what our movement will do ...
Also not my fault the parts of the plan he released publicly include their policies.
Also not my fault he claimed to know nothing about it and lied about supporting any of it.

Great deflect! When you can't rebut the topic, go for the player!
All you had to do is show where Trump did not make those statements and Trump’s plan has none of the same things as the project and he has no plans to hire any of the same people involved. You can do that right?
“It is a bankrupt Christianity that sees a demagogue co-opting our faith and even our holy scriptures for the sake of his own pursuit of power and praise him for it rather than insist that we refuse to allow our sacred faith and scriptures to become a mouthpiece for an empire,” said Rev. Benjamin Cremer on X.
Jason Cornwall, a pastor from South Carolina, said on X that Trump’s Bible endorsement was a violation of one of the Ten Commandments of the Hebrew Testament that forbids taking God’s name in vain.
However, the criticism doesn’t end with whether or not Trump’s endorsement is un-Christian or not. In fact, it’s just the beginning.
Historian and author Jemar Tisby says the whole project echoes the values of Christian nationalism — the idea that America was founded as a Christian nation and the government should work to sanction Christianity on a national scale. The tenets of Christian nationalism are historically tied to prejudice, nativism and white supremacy.
“There’s a very long tradition of what is included and what is not included in the Bible,” Tisby told CNN.
“What has caused outrage with this Bible is that it includes the Declaration of Independence, US Constitution, and even the lyrics to a Lee Greenwood song. So it’s adding to the Bible, and it’s adding specific political documents to the Bible that completely erase the separation of church and state.”
Tisby, who holds a Master of Divinity Degree from Reformed Theological Seminary in Jackson, Mississippi, has written about the dangers of Christian nationalism — both for the country and the Christian faith.
“What’s so pernicious about this is it plays on people’s devotion to God and their love of country, either of which by themselves could be innocuous or even good,” he said.
“But in this effort, it is blending the two. And with Trump as the spokesperson, is conveying a very clear message about what kind of Christianity and what kind of love of nation (he is) promoting.”

That's good that the slow ones aren't mad at you, or others.
There's nothing to be mad about.
I'm terribly sorry the facts conflict with your feelings and your ability to build and propagate a unique thought is so difficult.
But hey, there's no where to go but up from here, right?
