Donald Trump has made significant progress in transforming America into a conservative Christian nationalist state. Progress tracking is possible due to a detailed policy framework crafted by right-wing think tanks before the last US election, known as Project 2025. This 900-page document outlined a vision for a second Trump presidency to reshape America with conservative values. Despite initial denials of involvement, Trump has implemented nearly half of the outlined agenda, appointing key figures from Project 2025 to his administration.
Project 2025 advocates for a Christian-nationalist agenda, aiming to overhaul policies on abortion, LGBTQ+ rights, climate change, and immigration. Additionally, it grants the President enhanced control over the civil service by replacing career officials with political appointees and reducing the overall size of the government.
Trump’s actions align closely with Project 2025 objectives, with plans to cut several government agencies and dismiss workers instead of furloughing them during a shutdown. While Trump has previously denied association with Project 2025, data shows that approximately 48% of the outlined goals have been accomplished since he took office.
Remaining items on the Project 2025 agenda include changes to immigration laws, stricter abortion regulations, funding cuts for healthcare services, and alterations to anti-discrimination laws. Furthermore, the document proposes reforming student loan forgiveness programs, early childhood initiatives, and enforcing gender definitions in anti-discrimination laws.
