Troye and academic scholars told Salon that Trump and his team have learned from their first term — and have spent years creating an apparatus of conservative nonprofits.

Project 2025 the 922 -page manifesto lays out a plan to “remove thousands of bureaucrats” and replace them with Trump ’s own appointees.

Trump has vowed to carry out the largest deportation operation in American history, and has floated using detention camps to do so.

The manifesto also calls for placing the Department of Justice and FBI under the president's control, along with scores of rightwing proposals.
