Trump's 93 Campaign Promises

Every promise made on video.

One of the single biggest mistakes that the Biden then Harris campaign made during the 2024 election was to focus on Project 2025. So much time, money and energy wasted trying to explain to the American people what was in a right-wing 3rd party group's wish list for a future Administration. Trump could simply counter every point with, "That's not me, those aren't my proposals." Then Democrats begin the complex enterprise of trying to establish connections between the people running that program and Trump.

Why? It was so damn unnecessary and stupid it makes me furious every time I think about it. The reason is because, all throughout 2023-24, Trump released dozens of videos of himself outlining his own Project 47 Agenda. And that is every bit as crazy as Project 2025. So, instead of using Trump on video outlining a nutty policy or promise, the campaign decided to run against Kevin Roberts. 

What an incredible distraction - playing right into the Trump campaign's hands. 

The following is a compilation of specific things that Trump has proposed in his Project 47 platform in writing, on video and in interviews and rally speeches. Why the hell the Harris campaign thought arguing whether Kevin Roberts's wish list was Trump's agenda, rather than actually focusing on these things, just completely mystifies me.
