The Plot Against America: Project 2025 and Info-Ops

How the Heritage Foundation Would Kneecap the Fight Against Disinformation

As part of my ongoing series examining Project 2025, I’ve decided to turn my attention towards how the Heritage Foundation’s vision for a second Trump presidency would impact national security. 

The fight against misinformation and disinformation is a topic of ever-increasing importance to American national security. Just as in 2016 and 2020, our enemies will attempt to sow discord and chaos within the United States and among our allies abroad. When we consider the major implications that the 2024 election holds for American foreign policy in Asia, Europe, and the Middle East, we can expect that the usual suspects of China, Iran, and Russia will focus their info-ops on the American public.
