Trump to meet with Vought ‘of Project 2025 fame’ to determine which agencies to cut

President Donald Trump announced that he will meet with his budget director on Thursday to hash out which federal programs to cut as the government shutdown continues.
Trump said he will confer with White House Office of Management and Budget Director Russell Vought about whether the cuts will be temporary or permanent. Trump’s announcement comes after he urged Republicans earlier this week to “save billions of dollars” by using the government shutdown as an opportunity to “clear out dead wood, waste, and fraud” in the federal bureaucracy.
“I can’t believe the Radical Left Democrats gave me this unprecedented opportunity. They are not stupid people, so maybe this is their way of wanting to, quietly and quickly,” Trump said in a Truth Social post, suggesting that the government shutdown over funding disputes is the Democrats’ fault and has opened the portal for bureaucracy cuts.
“I have a meeting today with Russ Vought, he of PROJECT 2025 Fame, to determine which of the many Democrat Agencies, most of which are a political SCAM, he recommends to be cut, and whether or not those cuts will be temporary or permanent,” Trump wrote, referencing Vought’s ties to Project 2025.
