On his first day back in office, President Donald Trump signed a blizzard of executive orders on everything from the environment to immigration — and nearly two-thirds of them came straight from Project 2025, the sweeping corporate-backed policy blueprint that Trump lambasted during his 2024 presidential campaign.

Of the twenty-six formal executive orders Trump signed on Monday, sixteen mirrored at least in part proposals from the Heritage Foundation’s nine-hundred-page Project 2025 to reshape the federal government, according to an analysis by the Lever.

That includes orders that withdraw the United States from the World Health Organization and the Paris Climate Accords, end Biden’s electric vehicle mandates, and increase oil and gas drilling in Alaska — all proposals that first appeared in Project 2025 months earlier.
