It is actually a fairly complex issue. The heritage foundation, which is a conservative think tank, came up with the idea along with several hundred of what they call scholars. The left and the media took the most extreme parts of project 2025 and tried to smear all conservatives, MAGAs, anons, Pedes, etc. Which lead to the simplest approach being a repudiation of project 2025.
Now, since project 2025 is so large, it shares some ideas with Trump. For example, securing the border and deporting illegals, getting rid of redundant Federal Departments, fixing the economy and inflation, re-establishing American energy independence, etc.
So, we can see that project 2025 is good, bad, and ugly. Matt Walsh and Bannon, realizing that from a certain point of view Trump will be enacting project 2025 (or at least portions of it), appear to be trolling leftists into freaking out over what is a solid Trump agenda.
I’ll add that Bannon and Walsh themselves have always been a bit more hardline than Trump, so they are probably in favor of more of project 2025 than Trump. So Bannon and Walsh might even like to see as much as 75% of project 2025 put into play.
This is, of course, just my take on it. Walsh and Bannon might just be wanting project 2025 and Trump disagrees with them. I can’t really see Trump suddenly being favorable of everything in project 2025 though, so I’m not particularly worried unless he himself starts talking it up.
Edit: I should add that the heritage foundation, while conservative, is not MAGA, so it is entirely possible that they attempted to slip in overly harsh and untenable ideas into the project to make MAGA look bad. Heck, they could be straight up plants to make conservatives look bad, I haven’t done a deep dive into who they are, I just know that some of their ideas over the past 20 years have been good and others have been atrocious.
