Trump 'frustrated' Republicans with social media post: NYT's Maggie Haberman

Some Republicans are quietly expressing their "frustration" with President Donald Trump over a social media post, according to the New York Times' Maggie Haberman.

Early Thursday morning, Trump posted on Truth Social that he met with Russ Vought, leader of the Office of Management and Budget, who he described as being "of Project 2025 fame." Trump has tried to distance himself from the plan during the campaign trail, despite appointing multiple people who authored chapters to his administration.

Haberman discussed the impact of Trump's social media post on Republicans during an interview on CNN's "The Source" with Kaitlan Collins.

"Iwill say that even somerepublicans were quietlyfrustrated by President Trump'ssocial media post highlighting Russ Vought's connection toProject 2025, even though thenotion that the presidenthad no idea what Project 2025was during the campaign wasabsurd, or that he didn't knowthe people who were involvedwith it was absurd," Haberman said.

"It was notactually his campaign'splatform, but there wasoverlap between his campaign'sadvisers or some of theiradvisers and the people whoworked on Project 2025," she continued. "It wasalso an unpopular agenda item ina lot of polling, justobjectively unpopular. And thatwas part of the reason why yousaw the trump campaign trying todistance him from it."

"Now he'sjust openly talking about it,and it is just providing freshfodder for democrats who thewhite house had been trying toblame for the fact that theshutdown exists in the firstplace," she continued.
