When Project 2025 became know, the American public was shocked. It sounded like some dystopian vision from a horror movie. Donald Trump quickly distanced himself from it, saying he didn't know what it was. Of course that sort of stuff was not what was acceptable in America.

But I recently asked ChatGPT to Summarize what the main agenda items of Project 2025 were. As I started to look at it, to my surprpise I started to realize: wait a minute, this has already ALL been accomplished. What was it everyone was so shocked and outraged about? We are already there, and large numbers of people, who tell us they love freedom in America, are still passionatley supporting Trump.

America, you're the frog boiling in the hot water. Any chance you are ever going to jump out? Or is it that you've gotten way too comfortable in there? I am suspecting it's already too late.

Here’s a clear, sourced breakdown of the main points of Project 2025:

What Is Project 2025?​

Project 2025, also known as the "2025 Presidential Transition Project," is a conservative initiative led by The Heritage Foundation with contributions from over 100 conservative organizations. It was launched in April 2023 as a blueprint to restructure the federal government under a future Republican—and potentially Trump—administration.Wikipedia+1illiberalism.org

Core Components & Goals​

Current Influence & Implementation​


  • Despite public disavowals, many Trump administration officials—like Russell Vought and E.J. Antoni—are aligned with Project 2025 and have already been placed in influential positions like OMB director and Bureau of Labor Statistics.The GuardianThemThe Daily Beast+1Vanity Fair



In Summary​


Project 2025 is a meticulously crafted, top-to-bottom blueprint for consolidating executive power, restructuring or dismantling key institutions, and enacting sweeping conservative policy changes across social, economic, environmental, and civil spheres. It hinges on loyal personnel, immediate executive actions, and extensive institutional overhaul—with critics warning it would create a dangerously authoritarian model of governance.
 
My follow up question:

So what percentage of these goals has been accomplished so far?

Here’s what current data and expert trackers reveal about how much of Project 2025’s goals have been implemented so far:

Reported Completion Estimates​

1. White House Report Card​

  • As of June 16, 2025, about 65–70% of Project 2025’s major recommendations have been fully implemented, partially implemented, or are actively in progress. This reflects aggressive executive action across many policy areas.
    The White House Report Card
  • However, another report from the same outlet covering the period January 20 to June 3, 2025, states that only about 41% of proposals have been implemented or are underway (31% fully completed, 21% in progress).
    The White House Report Card
  • An expanded analysis as of May 2025 suggests roughly 40% of over 300 policy objectives have been initiated or completed, with significant traction in areas like federal restructuring, media oversight, and environmental deregulation.
    The White House Report Card+1

2. Project 2025 Tracker (Community-Driven)​

  • This tracker tracks 317 distinct objectivesacross 34 agencies. It reports:
    • 116 completed (~36% of objectives)
    • 63 in progress (~20%)
    • Combined, this equates to approximately 47% overall progress when accounting for both completed and in-progress actions.
      Blavity News & EntertainmentThe New Republic
  • Media commentary using this tracker similarly puts the completion percentage at 47%.

3. Early Momentum Reports​

  • Researchers tracking implementation as early as February 2025 noted that ~32% of objectives were already underway or accomplished mere weeks into the administration.
    Heatmap News
  • A 100-day analysis by the Center for Progressive Reform indicates 28% of over 530 executive-level actions had been undertaken or completed.

Summary Comparison​

Source & TimeframeReported Progress
White House Report Card (Jan–June)41% implemented/in progress (June 3)
White House Report Card (Jan–June 16)65–70% implemented/in progress
Expanded White House analysis (May)≈40% of objectives initiated or completed
Project 2025 Tracker (community)≈47% progress (completed + in progress)
Early tracking (Feb 2025)~32% progress
First 100 days analysis~28% of executive actions taken

Interpretation & Why the Numbers Vary​

  • The White House Report Card’s 65–70% estimate may include broader metrics, such as personnel placements, regulatory reviews, and executive orders across all branches and sectors, not just discrete objectives.
    The White House Report Card
  • The 41%–65% range shows that interpretation can differ by scope and timeframe—some analyses look at entire policy areas and actions in progress, others only count fully realized objectives.

  • The Project 2025 Tracker’s ~47% figure combines both completed and in-progress tasks, giving a granular sense of attention and movement.
    Blavity News & EntertainmentThe New Republic
  • Early assessments (28–32%) represent rapid initial momentum largely propelled by executive orders, especially in areas like workforce restructuring and DEI rollbacks.

Bottom Line​

Depending on methodology, the percentage of Project 2025 goals seeing some level of progress falls roughly between 30% and 70%:
  • ~28–32% accomplished in the first 100 days.
  • ~41–47% either implemented or underway by mid-2025, based on discrete objective tracking.
  • ~65–70% when including broader administrative actions and agency shifts.
