Project 2025 was unveiled about a year before Agenda 47. Regardless, 2025 was basically a personnel database and Agenda 47 is Trump's official campaign platform. The projects are trying to do completely different things.

Because 2025 included a huge book of essays and policy discussions, the Trump campaign felt like the project was trying to speak on their behalf and it caused a major rift, especially when the media turned Project 2025 into a bogeyman. That rift over policy is what caused them to fall out of favor, not the personnel or training aspect.

So distancing themselves makes sense politically, but it's going to make filling appointments even more of an uphill battle. Tulsi and RFK Jr. along with Don and Eric Trump are on the transition team so they'll likely be tasked with managing the appointments. I'm hoping for the best and I'm sure the people who get in this time will be much higher quality. Hope this clears things up.
