This is flatly false. He is running the Project 2025 playbook which he expressly disavowed. It is also reasonable to assume he meant to propose a smaller budget, not supercede Congress.

He's a conservative, and Project 2025 was from other conservatives.
You would expect there to be some overlap in policy perspectives because of the ideological overlap. It doesn't necessarily mean he's taking orders from the heritage foundation.
Before he got inaugurated the narrative is that the democrats are crazy for thinking that he would enact such unhinged policies, he himself said he knows nothing about it. Now the narrative is "that was expected".
> Trump denied having read Project 2025, and refused to commit to following it.
On the small chance that he said that in good faith and wasn't lying through his teeh. Does it really matter if he read the playbook or not? Maybe he just surrounds himself with people that have contributed to it (he does), maybe he had chatgpt summarize it to him. If the policies he implements come directly from that menu of suggestions, does it really matter?
