'He doth protest too much': Mary Trump calls her uncle 'quite a bad' liar on Project 2025

Donald Trump's niece, Mary Trump, slammed her uncle as "quite a bad" liar when it comes to his attempts to distance himself from Project 2025.

Mary Trump said her former president family member is trying, and failing, to save his campaign by claiming no connection to the controversial blueprint from the Heritage Foundation for the next conservative presidency.

"For somebody who is such a prolific liar, Donald is also quite a bad one," Mary Trump said in a Substack post early Wednesday. "You would think that somebody who has as much practice as he’s had would be better at it. You could say the same thing about his golf game."

Mary Trump added that she was "reminded" of her uncle's failure at lying when "Donald’s campaign put out a press release in response to the announcement that Paul Dans, the director at the Heritage Foundation of Project 2025, the fascist manifesto for a second Trump administration, is stepping down."

“Reports of Project 2025’s demise would be greatly welcomed and should serve as notice to anyone or any group trying to misrepresent their influence with President Trump and his campaign — it will not end well for you," according to the release.

Mary Trump said in response to the statement, "It’s as if these people can’t help but be thugs."

She added that "thuggery is just another indication of how rattled they’ve been by evidence-based attempts to connect Donald with the extreme right-wing transition and governance plans laid out in the document."

"This is in line with Donald’s own attempts to distance himself from the dystopian proposals outlined in Project 2025 as soon as it became clear they were extremely unpopular with those voters who were familiar with them," she added Wednesday.

Mary Trump ultimately concluded that many "aren’t falling for Donald’s lies," and that it's a good thing.

"Not only because he so bad at it, but also because Project 2025—and all of the dangerous anti-democratic plans it contains for the next Republican administration, needs to be hung around his neck like an albatross," she then added.
