Within four days of Trump inauguration, Time magazine found nearly two-thirds of his executive actions mirrored or partially mirrored Project 2025 proposals.

Question

Accepted Answer

Time's analysis found 64% of Trump's first four days' executive actions "mirrored or partially mirrored" Project 2025 proposals. The overlap isn't coincidental—Project 2025 includes draft executive orders for the first 100 days. Heritage vetted the language with conservative legal groups to survive court challenges, then handed Trump administration pre-written orders ready for signature. This exposes how think tanks function as shadow legislatures: while Congress debates publicly, Heritage wrote enforceable policy privately, then activated it through executive power. The speed proves coordination, not independent alignment.
