President Donald Trump slaps a cowbell in a dark cloak in his latest AI video depicted as Grimm Reaper by Budget Chief and Project 2025 architect Russ.
Trump posted a video, set on the Blue Oyster Cult song “Don't Fear the Ripper,” showing his truthful social account on Thursday night threatening to carry a sickle and cut down on democratic priorities.
Vought's data was used in Project 2025, a blueprint that outlined conservative policies ahead of the 2024 election. He was appointed Director of Management and Budget by Trump.
“Las Vault is a Grim Reaper. He wields his pen, his funds and his brain,” the video says.
Since he took the swearing, Trump has pursued plans laid out in Project 2025, dramatically expanding the president's power and reducing the size of the federal workforce. These include efforts such as government efficiency and budget withdrawal packages, which have been stagnated, scrapped or withheld billions of dollars by administrations so far this year.
They are currently using shutdowns to accelerate their progress.
Prior to the funding deadline, the OMB directed them to prepare for additional mass firing of federal workers, rather than simply abandoning those who are not considered essential, as is the usual practice during past closures. Vought told House Gop during a private conference call Wednesday that the layoffs will begin the next day or two.
They also used closures on target projects defended by Democrats. This was with Democrat senators cancelling the $8 billion Green Energy Project and withholding $18 billion for a New York City transport project defended by Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer and House Democrat leader Haycombe Jeffrey.
Shortly after posting a video for Grim Reaper, Trump made the video from the photos, showing that the Trump 2028 hat was on display when it was closed during negotiations with Schumer and Jeffries.
