Trump Quietly Checks Off Wish List While Denying He Made It

KEY POINTS

•President Trump reportedly implemented many Heritage Foundation Project 2025 goals despite publicly disavowing the plan during his campaign.
•Education reforms targeted dismantling the Department of Education and eliminating Head Start funding, sparking concerns over impacts on low-income communities.
•The administration prioritized immigration crackdown efforts and reproductive restrictions while ignoring requests for comments from Axios.

The Heritage Foundation's Project 2025, once dismissed by President Trump as a mere campaign boogeyman, somehow infiltrated his second term like an unannounced guest who doesn’t quite get the hint to leave. In 2025, Trump's administration secretly rewired the federal government, rigorously ensured strict two-gender policy enforcement, and tossed Biden-era protections for LGBTQ students with the finesse of a reality show plot twist. Plans to dismantle the Department of Education and shift special education to Health and Human Services added a bureaucratic remix only budget wonks dream of. Meanwhile, taxpayers worried over $140+ million squeezed from vital programs like Head Start, caught in a surprise funding blitz while the White House waged a culture war on diversity and inclusion. The administration plans to enforce military aptitude tests on all federally funded school kids (because who doesn’t want math scores to double as recruitment flyers?). On the health front, senior aides lovingly nudge chemical abortion drugs toward extinction and propose time limits on federally funded healthcare benefits to discourage permanent dependence - legendary for balancing harshness with efficiency. Immigrations reforms include plans to cut down the Department of Homeland Security’s 'political weapon' Office of Intelligence and centralize bureaucracy like a badly organized family reunion. Not to be outdone, other goals include outlawing porn, commercializing weather forecasts (apocalypse brought to you by private enterprise!), and mandating Sabbath time-and-a-half pay—because even divine rest needs labor protections. Bonuses include political dramas like Democratic lawmakers calling newborn abortion survivor laws 'dangerous,' further keeping the national dialogue spicy and absolutely unenlightened. The Heritage Foundation and White House's silence on inquiries only builds the buzz—like a corporate email marked urgent and then very politely ignored.
