Despite Donald Trump's energetic effort on the campaign trail to distance himself from the controversial project 2025.

I don't know what the hell it is, it's Project 25.

I purposely have not read it. I could, but I don't want to.

He was very quick to implement many of the report's recommendations over the past year.

Tonight, an in-depth look at Trump's policy triumphs and failure so far,

and a look at how much more of Project 2025 there's left to implement in 2026.

Next.

This is Washington Week with the Atlantic.

Good evening and welcome to Washington Week.

Tonight, we're going to talk about the rarest of birds in the Washington ecosystem,

a policy report that someone actually read.

The Heritage Foundation, formerly a think tank, now something closer akin to the MAGA

movement's waiting room,

has a fairly revolutionary vision for America. In Donald Trump, Heritage found someone who would

readily take to its views. Trump made a lot of noise about the irrelevance of Project

2025 when he was campaigning, but the proof of the pudding is in the implementation. His administration

has taken many of Project 2025's ideas and is poised to take even more.

Joining me tonight to discuss this and more, Peter Baker, the Chief White House correspondent

at the New York Times.
