PALM BEACH, FLORIDA: Kevin Roberts, the leader of Project 2025, was caught in a recently released audio recording making a shocking claim that former President Donald Trump is deliberately deceiving the American public by denying knowing who is behind Project 2025.

Roberts asserts in the recording that Trump is "making a political tactical decision" by distancing himself publicly from the objectives of Project 2025, according to MeidasTouch.

 Trump recently distanced himself from the Heritage Foundation's blueprint for the next Republican president that has attracted much scrutiny. “I have no idea who is behind it,” he claimed on social media.

On Fox News’s ‘The Will Cain Show,' Kevin Roberts similarly stated that Donald Trump serves as the "standard bearer" for the Heritage Foundation and that it would make sense "if you're running for president and you're trying to win . . . then it makes sense you would want to pivot from that. There are no hard feelings from us at Project 2025 . . ."

What did Project 2025’s Kevin Roberts claim in latest audio recording?

In the new audio recording, the interviewer can be heard asking Kevin Roberts, “So when you see President Trump say this and what you envision as being behind it tactically?”

Roberts responded, “Well, I think it's the sign of a great leader who understands he's in a terrific political news cycle.”



 

“He's run a really good campaign from start up to this point,” Roberts commended, adding, “And the left's mischaracterization of Project 2025 had become a liability.”

“I think we've seen that really turn around in the last few days since that statement,” he claimed.

“So no hard feelings from any of us at Project 2025 about the statement because we understand Trump is the standard bearer and he's making a political, tactical decision here,” he remarked in conclusion.

Another user wrote, "Once again DJT is caught lying."

One user said, "Trump will promise every American a free all expense paid trip to Disneyland if they vote for him Trump won on his promise to build the Wall & have Mexico pay for it, yet with 2 years of total control of congress & the senate, he couldn't build a wall or have Mexico pay for it."
