His comments appeared to be a shift from June, when he said during a CNN debate, “I will not block it.”
The idea of directing the FDA to revoke access to mifepristone is a core policy plan in Project 2025, a 900-plus page document written by conservative groups and organized by the Heritage Foundation that lays out a governing plan for the next GOP presidential administration.
Trump’s abortion stance suddenly falling in line with Project 2025 is certainly a shocking and unexpected turn, considering how adamant he’s been that he’s never even heard of it and Republicans are saying how it’s all a “liberal” delusion anyhow.
(And yes that was sarcasm.)
Trump’s relationship with Project 2025 is giving Austin Power’s “that’s not my penis pump” scene vibes, but much less amusing.
The unfortunate thing is that I can attest to this whole charade is at least working on some conservatives (ie my dad) who has earnestly told me that Trump said he’s not involved in 2025 and that he won’t implement abortion restrictions at the federal level. So it’s all okay!!! And how that means that I should vote for Trump now…as if that was the one singular problem I have with the perpetual lying cheeto.
