The True Republican/Trump Agenda
By: Dorothy Moon, IDGOP Chairwoman
Shortly after President Donald Trump left office in 2021, representatives of various conservative think tanks drafted a list of priorities for the next Republican administration. They called it “Project 2025” because that is when a new Republican president will be inaugurated.
Think tanks routinely engage in this kind of planning. While politicians focus on campaigning, policy analysts develop plans for when those politicians take office. Often, there is little direct connection between the think tanks and the candidates they aim to advise.
Project 2025 is a collection of ideas for a future Republican administration assembled by conservative think tanks. It is not Donald Trump’s agenda, nor is it the official Republican Party platform. Yet, left-wing politicians and their allies in the media want you to believe otherwise. Idaho Democratic Party Chair Lauren Necochea’s recent op-ed in the Idaho Statesman is a perfect example.
Why would they conflate these things? One word: distraction. Democrats and their media allies know the Biden/Harris administration has been a disaster for America.
- Inflation has made basic necessities like groceries exorbitantly expensive for American families while home ownership — the cornerstone of the American dream — is fading out of reach.
- Millions of illegal immigrants are crossing our open southern border, bringing crime, overloading social services, and unleashing deadly drugs like fentanyl on our communities.
- The Biden/Harris Administration has emboldened our enemies on the world stage, giving belligerent powers like Russia, China, and Iran the impression that we are weak and toothless.
The Democratic agenda leaves parents with no say in their children’s education, promotes anti-American ideologies like Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) and Critical Race Theory (CRT) starting in preschool, and allows the government to forcibly remove children from school if parents do not affirm radical gender ideology.
Democrats and their media allies want the American people to focus on strawmen like Project 2025 rather than consider the clear and powerful agenda that President Trump and the Republican Party have presented. The platform we adopted at the Republican National Convention last month is straightforward:
- Seal the border.
- End inflation.
- Bring back American energy dominance.
- Provide tax cuts for working families.
- Prevent World War III.
- Make our cities safe again.
- Ban CRT, DEI, and radical gender ideology in public schools.
The truth is, four years of Democratic rule have left America weaker, poorer, and more divided, while Donald Trump and the Republican Party have a plan to make America stronger, more prosperous, and greater than ever before.
Ignore the gaslighting from the Democrats and the media and read our platform for yourself.
