Trump disavowed Project 2025 during the campaign, is just a performance appreciated by his voters, as many of his voters believed “be a racist but don’t say it”.
The same reason that one of the DOGE youth got fired, not because he is a racist, but because his racism remark got caught.

Let's wait and see for the audits of NGOs! Your opinion says it isn't working, but my opinion says it is.
Part of the difficulty of arguing about this is that the effectiveness is very clearly not there. The following is from treasury.gov[1]:
21 % Social Security 15 % National Defense 14 % Health 13 % Net Interest 13 % Medicare 9 % Income Security 6 % Veterans Benefits and Services 3 % Education, Training, Employment, and Social Services 2 % Natural Resources and Environment 2 % Transportation 2 % Other
To get the level of cuts they want they cannot legally do it without Congress.

That is not what they are doing by most accounts.
