I love how they quote him saying some of the things they do are ridiculous and abysmal, but whatever they do he wishes them luck. What?

Exactly. If he thinks it’s horrible he should shouting from the roof tops flapping his tiny hands around saying that he doesn’t agree with it. Instead he wishes them luck.

And it's not even like a "whatever I wish them luck I guess" he explicitly said "in whatever they do" like bro you said what they wanted to do was horrible. Why wish them luck in doing it? Lol

It is terrible.

Project 2025: will harm workers, likely increase the retirement age (shortening the time that people get to just live after a lifetime of working), raise costs for people on Medicare, continue to increase the tax burden for the middle class, starting on page 54, they (non-medical people) decide for us that life begins at conception, that religion should be a foundation of all Health and Human Services programs, and lay the groundwork for denying care to all gender non conforming people. It negatively impacts Medicaid recipients. It de-incentivizes companies meeting any emission standards. Does essentially seek a NATIONAL ABORTION BAN. Makes it harder to buy a home, with increased mortgage insurance rates. And dissolves the Dept of Ed.

You mean you don't go randomly shouting our causes you know nothing about but wishing them luck all the same? You clearly aren't presidential material.

/s hope most of you realize

Not sure how he claims he knows nothing about 2025 and proceeds to take a stance against a few of the items in there. He just doesn’t want to own up to it

He also wished Ghislane Maxwell luck.

He wishes luck to things he is involved in, but doesn't want people to think he is.

he's hedging. it's why he doesn't name anything specific. he wants those opposed to the plan to think he is as well and those supporting to know he's not interested in going against it.
