Summary

Although Trump initially denied any connection to Project 2025, a conservative policy agenda, he has appointed two of its contributors to key Cabinet roles.

These appointments suggest the document could shape his second-term priorities, focusing on expanding presidential authority, deregulation, and advancing religious right objectives.

Tom Homan, Trump’s new “border czar,” has supported some of the agenda’s immigration proposals, such as expanding expedited removals and ending DACA.

Brendan Carr, nominated to lead the FCC, aims to challenge Big Tech by revoking Section 230 protections and restricting platforms like TikTok.
