Why did you lie and say he wasn’t associated with it?

This is a fucking outrageous framing. Axios will never respond to or own up but this is the wildest way to say: these policy positions were linked to the president but we said “that’s ridiculous” and then you know what he actually did it!

Things that are real aren't boogeymen.

“Donald Trump, a known pathological liar, swore that he had nothing to do with Project 2025, and we were stupid enough to believe him.”

You called it a boogeyman you idiots, most of us knew it was always the real plan.

Boogeyman? He campaigned on the very same platform as HFP 2025.

Apparently according to the Axios style book, the definition of “boogeyman” is “something you are right to worry about because it’s absolutely fucking real”

We told these people that this is their playbook for tRump 2.0. You folks wouldn't listen. You pointed fingers, laughed and accused us of TDS. Many of you aren't laughing now.

That “but” is doing a lot of work there. 🙄 For chrissake, you enabled it.

Uhm you guys realize the analogy requires the boogeyman to NOT be real?

www.axios.com/2024/07/05/t... Eat shit, Axios.

I think you mean "The Democratic Presidential campaign accurately predicted that the Trump administration would strive to enact Project 2025, and we were wrong to dismiss their warnings as hysterical nonsense. Our bad." You wankers.

wow what a scoop

everyone in the world except for professional reporters knew he was lying and he was going to do it, if that helps

WE TOLD YOU

Gullible, incompetent fools.

and by "pressure from Harris" they mean that she was going around telling people about all of the awful things his people were openly planning to do.

The only people who didn’t think it was dead serious was you. That’s your failure.

This has to be rage bait, right?

we need much more brutality than this sorry.

Go wank yourselves Axios. People who listen understood the test.

But? Many on the left told you that the administration would implement it. Propaganda rags like you? You poo-pooed it and said it wouldn't happen. Start 2026 by taking responsibility for your role in the destruction that took place in 2025. Take your victory lap in helping it happen!

“But”? How about “Trump lied repeatedly during the 2024 campaign about Project 2025 and we reported his lies without scrutiny and now we aren’t willing to admit that we dropped the ball or hold him accountable for lying to our faces even now”

Except that Axel Springer-owned Axios is NOT sorry.

Wouldn’t it be better to lead with his lies that he knew nothing about it? It’s a new year @axios.com , you can resolve to be journalists

Why are you reporting this like it’s not self evident that he lied

Hey, quick question, this you?

No shit, Wally.

This is fucking rich coming from you...

Have you considered that your staff management and ownership are simply stupid. Just stupid morons.

Sooo... are you firing these morons below or rewarding them with pay raises for making y'all look like schmucks?

So when should we expect your apology? Because if you don't take responsibility you aren't worth listening to - a Fox News or OANN copy of a copy and a disappointing one that pleases no one.

Calling antifreeze dangerous to drink was a refreshing myth but doctors say a recent surge in projectile vomiting is troublesome.

Do you memory hole your own stories on purpose or are you just plain stupid?

Wonder why journalism is dying in America

Never stop being you Axios.. wow.. But.. No but.. that was the fucking plan you approved of.

The thing is we all called this. Either you guys believed the most obvious lie in human history or you were lying to your readers. Either way, no need to ever pay attention to anything Axios writes ever again. See how that works?

Couldn't have happened without you fuckers.

Only idiots like you ever thought he had “distanced” himself from any of it. The biggest rubes in the world live in DC and chase Republicans around town for crumbs and quotes.

We always knew this was and would be the case but you, specifically Axios, tried to gaslight us all into believing he had nothing to do with it.

this shit sucks

We all saw this, Axios and other members of the press monumentally failed by believing Trump when he said there was no connection despite all the evidence to the contrary.

“people warned that this was real and we credulously reported that it was not. please continue to read us”

“Project 2025 was an exact blueprint for Trump’s first year; Media outlets like us denied this during the campaign but we were horribly mistaken” Fixed it for you, you idiotic fools

Accessios!

But then on the campaign trail he said "Nah, don't know her," and everybody took him at his word.

The hardest part about reporting on this is that Trump famously never tells a lie. So it's easy to see how you got duped by The Most Honest President in History. Up until this betrayal, you could report everything that came out of his mouth as fact, w/out any fact checking. Tough break on this.

Yo. So it wasnt a boogeyman and people were right? Strange headline

So... basically you were lying all this time?

Fuck you, Axios.

i wanna ask why u guys are so goddamned stupid but i remember your founding

Heritage Foundation laid the groundwork for Trump Fascism.

dad: "got your nose!" axios: "i regret to report that father has taken my nose"

If much of it became reality then it wasn’t a boogeyman

"It was a boogeyman but turns out actually totally real and true" do you guys hear yourselves

*bogeyman

And you helped him lie that he had nothing to do with it by abandoning journalistic principles of fact checking

Dang its a shame our trusted court stenographers gave Trump infinite runway to distance himself from his clear goals during the election www.axios.com/2024/09/11/t... www.axios.com/2024/07/30/h...

"but"?

You were baselessly lying when you repeated trump’s words that he does not know about project 2025. YOU did this

And who's fault is that, Axios?

In other totally shocking and unexpected news, grass is green.

Whoever wrote this inept, incoherent, garbled slop should be fired because they obviously don't know fuck about the language. "Haitians eating your pets" were a campaign trail boogeyman for Trump- not Project 2025. Axios should be taken to Kristi Noem's gravel pit- metaphorically speaking.

The thing we called the Boogeyman is still a Boogeyman, so we were not wrong in any way. It's everyone else's fault that they assumed "Boogeyman" meant something not real

Are you proud of how you helped this to happen? Arsehats.

Lol. Fuck you guys
