Ali Velshi shares reporting from the Washington Post that Donald Trump referred to the Heritage Foundation's policy plans as 'what our movement will do' in the early days of the drafting of Project 2025, as well as other new details that show Trump's awareness of the plan and its authors.
A few months ago, after a monthly unemployment report reached the public, a reporter asked Donald Trump about his jobs plan. “My plan for jobs is to drill baby drill, bring energy down,” the former president replied. That didn’t make any sense — oil drilling does not have a meaningful impact on unemployment — but the Republican didn’t seem to care. The exchange came to mind anew during Trump’s latest Fox News appearance.
What’s more, the former president’s indifference to the substance of governing is the stuff of legend — it was the basis for much of my first book — and his latest rhetoric doesn’t help matters. Asked about his jobs plan, Trump pointed to oil drilling. Asked about housing affordability, Trump again pointed to oil drilling. It seems like only a matter of time before he starts saying “drill baby drill” in response to questions about health care and education, too.
