Government
Project 2025 proposes that the entire federal bureaucracy, including independent agencies such as the Department of Justice, be placed under direct presidential control - a controversial idea known as "unitary executive theory".
In practice, that would streamline decision-making, allowing the president to directly implement policies in a number of areas.
The proposals also call for eliminating job protections for thousands of government employees, who could then be replaced by political appointees.
The document labels the FBI a "bloated, arrogant, increasingly lawless organization". It calls for drastic overhauls of the agency and several others, as well as the complete elimination of the Department of Education.
The Republican party platform absorbed many - but not all - of these ideas.
It includes a proposal to "declassify government records, root out wrongdoers, and fire corrupt employees". The platform pledges to slash regulation and government spending, and explicitly calls for closing the Department of Education - an idea Trump has endorsed.
