  How so? * Russell Vought absolutely is an ally of Trump. He served in the first administration, it's been announced he will serve in the second. * Russell Vought very publicly is a Project 2025 contributor. * Russell Vought did sit down, multiple times, in July 2024. The specific case intended here has been captured on film.

    The article attempts to subtly link Trump with Project 2025, despite his explicit denials. While some claims may have merit, the publication's decision to make such connections without concrete evidence undermines its credibility. As an impartial observer, it's concerning that the article resorts to speculative associations rather than focusing on verifiable facts. This approach damages the publication's reputation and risks misleading readers who may not critically evaluate the sources. Trump has categorically denied any involvement with Project 2025, yet the article chooses to highlight potential connections without acknowledging his refutations. This selective reporting undermines journalistic integrity and potentially loses readers' trust in the publication's ability to provide balanced coverage of important issues.

      > The article attempts to subtly link Trump with Project 2025, There are explicit links between the two; firstly the core authors are former Trump staffers, secondly after the publication several have been invited to work in the second administration. These are links. > despite his explicit denials. Trump has history, both before and during his political career, of lying; promises he never carried through on, denials of things later shown to be true. From his apprenticeship with his slumlord father through until the present he has been a consumment grifter. All politicians lie, true, few have lied as much as Trump. In short, the link exists and his denial carries no weight.
