For more than 40 years, millions of Americans and citizens of the world have turned to the PBS NewsHour for the solid, reliable reporting that has made it one of the most trusted news... By Amanda BeckerOrion RummlerMariel Padilla, This story was originally published by The 19th. In the months leading up to his election, President Donald Trump insisted that he had nothing to do with the far-right vision for his second administration known as Project 2025, a Christian-nationalist blueprint to... As the year draws to a close, a crowd-sourced effort, as well as trackers from advocacy organizations and labor unions, show that his administration has implemented roughly half of the goals laid out in... Project 2025 is rooted in injecting narrower interpretations of gender, sexuality and race in federal policy.

It calls for ending nearly all of the U.S. government's efforts to achieve equity, including the collection of data that could be used to track such outcomes across the public and private sectors. It was hard to pick only 25. But it was easier than it used to be. Just like his first presidency, President Donald Trump’s first calendar year back in the White House was an unceasing parade of lies. In 2025, though, the variety of Trump’s false claims shrunk even as he maintained his trademark staggering frequency.

Here is our highly subjective list of Trump’s top 25 lies of 2025.

As a U.S. presidential candidate in 2024, Donald Trump attempted to distance himself from Project 2025, a wide-ranging initiative by the conservative nonprofit The Heritage Foundation to overhaul the federal government. But, since taking the oath of office on Jan. 20, 2025, a number of his administration's actions have mirrored the effort.

Below, we highlight several proposals in a roughly 1,000-page document at the center of Project 2025 and actions by the Trump administration that align with them, as of December 2025. They cover the following policy areas: In 2022, the Heritage Foundation formally revealed Project 2025, partnering dozens of conservative advocacy groups and former government officials to develop goals for a future presidential administration. The effort centered on a document of proposals, published in 2023, including recommendations to reclassify federal jobs to give more power to the executive branch and reverse policies issued by former President Joe Biden...
