Now these MAGA operatives are, in the words of Heritage president Kevin D. Roberts, intent on "institutionalizing Trumpism." The foundation's Project 2025 includes a 900-page book, Mandate for Leadership, that lays out a Trumpist agenda for every corner of the government; a still-secret 180-day Transition Playbook for the first six months in office; a right-wing version of LinkedIn to recruit and vet candidates for political appointment; and a Presidential Academy to train them.
The essays in this issue describe core aspects of what is more assault than agenda, revealing how Project 2025 turns Trump's insults and grievances into policy predicates. The result is a chilling guidebook to a second Trump term.
Kim Phillips-Fein outlines how Heritage's new Mandate is far more extreme than the original 1980 plan that guided Reagan's administration.
