Trump Blasts Project 2025 Plan That Carr and Simington Authored in Part

Former President Donald Trump denounced the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025 -- some of which FCC Republican Commissioners Brendan Carr and Nathan Simington wrote -- in a post on Truth Social Friday. “I know nothing about Project 2025. I have no idea who is behind it. I disagree with some of the things they’re saying and some of the things they’re saying are absolutely ridiculous and abysmal,” Trump wrote. “Anything they do, I wish them luck, but I have nothing to do with them.” Carr is listed as principal author of the FCC chapter in Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, the book outlining Project 2025’s 180-day plan for a second Trump administration. Simington is credited as a contributor. Neither Simington nor Carr commented.
