Oh yeah.

Beautiful, isn't it?

Mr. President, I think what we’re driving at is that you've taken congressional authority on trade and appropriations. You fired the heads of independent agencies. You're challenging the courts right now, as you know. You're using the levers of government to weaken private institutions like law firms and universities. Isn't this seizing power away from institutions and concentrating them inside the presidency?

No, I think that what I'm doing is exactly what I've campaigned on.

Some questions later:

Just remember, every single question you're asking, I campaigned on it. I campaigned on all the things you're talking about, all the things you're asking about, and openly campaigned.

And he really did. He openly campaigned on it all, all the hate, vitriol and fascist points. He didn't hide any of it. Sure he played dumb about project 2025, but he spread all the talking points.
