      One of the many many many things I’ve hated about Trump is that it doesn’t even need to specifically align with his interests as long as it doesn’t get in his way.

      Republicans: “we’re going to do XYZ.”

      Trump: “Will that affect me? If not who cares, have fun.”

      He has always contradicted himself in different settings because he is a bullshitter who says what he thinks people want to hear. He does it more in the same setting or even sentence now than he used to, but there is zero chance he has forgotten what Project 2025 is as a concept.

        Trump knows the transaction behind it, he trades the democracy/freedoms of the US to the christofascists in exchange for being the “dear leader” the playbook helps consolidate power around. He can then squash all his legal problems and ride out his days LARPing being Putin until his dementia becomes an issue and the party “retires” him.
