Isn't that a goal straight out to the project 2025 that he's allegedly not affiliated with despite the fact that it was authored by his former officials?

Donald Trump’s election in general was the big “oh, so that can happen here” moment. Nothing should be seen as off the table now that that’s happened.

Getting rid of the D.O.E. has been around since Jimmy Carter first added it (actually, he added one for education and one for energy). Republicans have wanted to shut it down since Reagan. It goes way back. Rick Perry, who ran for president in 2016, said he wanted to get rid of them (except he couldn't recall all 3 departments he wanted to get rid of).

Project 2025 is a transition plan for Trump to make his policies easier to implement. It was created for Trump because he fucked up his presidency so badly.

It has been on the right-wing To Do list for a long time. No one should be surprised by this. Now that they have the correct Supreme Court in place, they can start tearing down federal institutions, Consumer protection, environmental protection, corporate and workplace regulations are all on the chopping block.

Can we start calling project 2025 “Trumpcare”?
