Former Trump White House communications director Alyssa Farah Griffin described one element of the right-wing Heritage Foundations Project 2025 in particular as very, very scary as she explained why former President Donald Trump continues to downplay his links to the playbook.
There are some very controversial parts of the handbook that are widely expected to form the agenda that presumptive GOP nominee Trump will pursue during a potential second administration, Griffin told CNN s Jake Tapper on Thursday. One is eradicating Social Security, which [Trump] knows is obviously a political loser, she noted.
But the key part and most important for Americans to understand is this reshaping of the federal government, she said.
I saw the actual executive order at the end of the last administration, ready to go, that would remake every civil servant into a political appointee and a loyalist to Trump, recalled Griffin, an apparent reference to Trumps Schedule F plan, which he has vowed to reinstitute if he wins back the White House.
It goes beyond Social Security and some of these technical things, its the national security apparatus, its our emergency management, its FEMA, its responding to natural disasters, pandemics, she explained.
Experts such as former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases director Anthony Fauci, who led the governments response to the coronavirus pandemic, would be substituted with Trump loyalists.
So, its a very, very scary thing thats actionable and ready to go by Donald Trump, warned Griffin, now a vocal critic of her onetime boss.
