No one heals himself by wounding another.
~ St. Ambrose of Milan
Trump’s team has begun to try to make him look more moderate than he is. Trump claimed not to know anything about the extremist Project 2025, which calls for an authoritarian leader to impose Christian nationalism on the United States, despite the fact that his own appointees wrote it, his own political action committee advertised it as his plan, and his name appears in it 312 times.

Trump’s henchmen are riding on their premise of general public ignorance, lazy disregard, and a base weaponization-appeal of…wounding others who have a different perspective than we do (talk about lazy...).
Even though it still won’t work (despite the further wounding it will cause) because, sadly, Ambrose’s observation…will still be true.
