Proyek 2025 (juga dikenal sebagai Proyek Transisi Presiden 2025[3]) adalah sebuah inisiatif politik yang dicanangkan oleh Heritage Foundation, sebuah wadah pemikir konservatif Amerika pada 2022. Proyek ini bertujuan untuk mempromosikan kebijakan konservatif dan sayap kanan untuk membentuk kembali pemerintah federal Amerika Serikat dan mengkonsolidasikan kekuasaan eksekutif, dengan premis bahwa Donald Trump memenangkan pemilihan presiden 2024.[4][5] Proyek ini menegaskan interpretasi kontroversial atas teori eksekutif kesatuan, yang menurutnya seluruh cabang eksekutif berada di bawah kendali penuh presiden.[6][7][8] Proyek tersebut mengusulkan pengklasifikasian ulang puluhan ribu pegawai negeri sipil federal sebagai pegawai yang ditunjuk secara politik untuk menggantikan mereka dengan orang-orang yang setia kepada presiden.[9] Para pendukung proyek ini berpendapat bahwa proyek ini akan menghapus apa yang mereka lihat sebagai birokrasi pemerintah yang besar tetapi tidak bertanggung jawab, dan sebagian besar liberal.[10] Proyek ini juga bertujuan untuk menanamkan nilai-nilai Kristen konservatif ke dalam pemerintahan dan masyarakat.[11][12] Para kritikus menganggap Proyek 2025 sebagai rencana nasionalis Kristen otoriter untuk mengarahkan AS menuju autokrasi.[11][13][14][15] Para ahli hukum mengatakan bahwa rencana ini akan merusak supremasi hukum,[16]pemisahan kekuasaan,[5]pemisahan gereja dan negara,[17] dan kebebasan sipil.[5][16][18]
Secara hukum, Proyek 2025 tidak diperbolehkan untuk mendukung salah satu pasangan calon dalam pemilihan presiden 2024 tanpa membahayakan status bebas pajak 501(c)(3). Namun banyak kontributor Proyek 2025 memiliki hubungan dekat dengan Donald Trump.[44][45][46][47] The Heritage Foundation mempekerjakan banyak orang yang dekat dengan Trump,[48][49][50] termasuk anggota pemerintahannya dari 2017 sampai 2021,[51] dan mengoordinasikan inisiatif tersebut dengan kelompok konservatif yang dijalankan oleh sekutu Trump.[11] Pejabat kampanye Trump telah melakukan kontak rutin dengan Project 2025, dan mengatakan kepada Politico pada tahun 2023 bahwa proyek tersebut selaras dengan program Agenda 47 mereka, meskipun mereka mengatakan bahwa proyek tersebut tidak mewakili Trump atau kampanyenya.[10][52][53][54] Proposal kontroversial proyek tersebut menyebabkan Trump dan kampanyenya menjauhkan diri dari proyek tersebut pada tahun 2024, dengan mengatakan bahwa dia "tidak tahu apa-apa tentangnya" dan bahwa "beberapa hal [yang dikatakan Proyek 2025] benar-benar konyol dan buruk".[48][55][56][57] Sebagai tanggapan, presiden Heritage Kevin Roberts mengatakan tidak ada seorang pun di Proyek 2025 yang memiliki perasaan buruk terhadap Trump karena mereka tahu "dia membuat keputusan taktis politik di sana".[58] Beberapa kritikus telah menolak klaim Trump, menunjuk ke berbagai orang yang dekat dengan Trump yang membantu menyusun proyek tersebut, banyak kontributor yang diharapkan mendapatkan peran kepemimpinan dalam pemerintahan Trump mendatang, dukungannya terhadap rencana Heritage Foundation untuk pemerintahannya pada tahun 2022, dan 300 kali Trump dicatut dalam rencana tersebut.[59][60][61][62]

Called 'Project 2025,' it is a book-length presentation of a sweeping overhaul of government and governance. It is also, in the current view of the Trump campaign, an annoyance: It gives Trump's opponents something to point to and elevate to voters as unacceptable, even though it isn't actually offered by Trump himself.
