Project 2025

Project 2025 is the Heritage Foundation-linked conservative transition project discussed in Vol.113 从几千页智库文件中，勾勒特朗普2.0执政计划背后的人、机构、思想和脉络. The episode treats it as more than a manifesto: it combines Mandate for Leadership 2025, a 180-day transition plan, a potential personnel database, and training infrastructure.

The source is careful not to say that Donald Trump will adopt the project whole. Its importance is that it shows a disciplined attempt at Trumpism Institutionalization: turning the Trump coalition’s ideas into staff, procedures, and department-level action before the administration starts.

Key Claims
