Trump slams Heritage Foundation's transition plan, claims parts are ‘ridiculous’ and ‘abysmal’

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."

Trump disavowed the effort in a post on Truth Social, saying he didn't know who was behind the initiative that offers recommendations on how a future Republican president can begin to enact conservative changes upon entering office.

"I know nothing about Project 2025. I have no idea who is behind it," Trump wrote. "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."

Portrayed as a blueprint for a future Republican administration to restructure many parts of the U.S. government, Project 2025, also known as the Presidential Transition Project, launched in April 2023 and is not associated with Trump's campaign.

"As we’ve been saying for more than two years now, Project 2025 does not speak for any candidate or campaign," a Project 2025 spokesperson told Fox News Digital when asked about Trump's remarks. "We are a coalition of more than 110 conservative groups advocating policy and personnel recommendations for the next conservative president.

"But it is ultimately up to that president, who we believe will be President Trump, to decide which recommendations to implement."

Trump's decision to distance himself from Project 2025 came one day after Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts faced criticism from Democrats for his comments about a "second American Revolution" on former White House
