With the recent surge of interest in “Project 2025,” I’ve noticed many Trump supporters—and Trump himself—insisting that P2025 has no ties to his campaign, claiming instead that his actual positions are outlined under “Agenda 47” on his website. Taking them at their word, I visited the site to review his stances on military topics, which are of particular interest to me as a veteran. I’m sharing my findings here for discussion. Below in the comments, you’ll find the full transcript of his policy statements. Full disclosure: I’m not a Trump fan and find this “policy statement” somewhat unclear and vaguely ominous.
This handsome man skippering a boat is Ray J. We lost him to suicide in 2017. OAS was called upon to help and with your help, we did. Ray and other Vets are part of our Faces of Veteran Suicide series.

F trump and project 2025. Most trump fans I see hate the military now,
I’m always skeptical of a repeat President that didn’t do any of the things they promised the first time around. 🤷
In the transcript Trump claims he “fully rebuilt the United States military”, which is pretty broad and I’m not entirely sure what he’s even claiming. Like you’d think that’d be a good moment for a brief list of details like percentage of pay raises or hitting recruitment quotas or fielding new gear or something, but he just says “rebuilt” and moves on…
“Rebuild?” As if we aren’t actively the most powerful empire on the planet?
Admiral Yamamoto is infinitely more responsible for building the US military than the cheetoh.
But imagine how much more Empire we can be if we start from scratch and use campaign speeches to build with…/s
Narrator: He in-fact DID NOT rebuild the military. His bullshit claims for what he did during his term are so wildly laughable. ALL administrations exaggerate their accomplishments and take credit for things they didn’t actual have any part of, but the Trump Admin takes it to a new art form.
He started off with lying about the size of his inaugural crowd which was obviously false and it just went down from there.
This is a man who brags about his gilded toilets. He’s been lying since he was born.
He also routinely cheats at golf. A sport so easy to cheat at that nobody does it, because it would take all the fun out of it for anyone with a healthy sense of competitive play.
What are you talking about? 8 billion people were either in attendance or watching on TV/Online! /s
A crowd size the likes of which no one has ever seen! Because it didn’t exist, but that’s not the point!
A crowd the size of John Cena, you say…
Yep, I think he started off with Mexico paying for a wall, but to be fair, his regime of incompetence, corruption, hatred, grifting and pure stupidity is always a breathtaking low bar and scary to our freedoms.
He’s well practiced with lying about the size of things 😏
They just say “We did good, vote for us”
I remember the Coast Guard’s expectations for timely paychecks being “rebuilt” into something more tenuous.
Expecting details from any claim Trump makes might be an alternate definition of insanity
That’s trump for you. He doesn’t need to give specifics, because the people who believe him will believe him anyway without the need for proof, and anything to the contrary will be regarded as “fake news” or “TDS” or whatever.
I’m going to assume that it’s the same bullshit rhetoric that Republicans spout that “nobody respects the military when a Democrat is President.” Don Cheeto probably believes what he’s told by others that other countries respected our military just because he was in office.
Back when I was in, during the early GWOT, conservatives would’ve screamed bloody murder about anyone advising kids “don’t join Bush’s fascist imperialist military.” But look at it today and social media is suffused with redhats ranting about the “woke military” and how they’ll never let their sons join, and we have a presumed presidential nominee crowing over enlistment shortfalls.
There’s a Trumper in my unit and ironically is an immigrant from South America. And he said he did a lot for the military and when I asked what he couldn’t figure it out.
