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.

"I will say that even some republicans were quietly frustrated by President Trump's social media post highlighting Russ Vought's connection to Project 2025, even though the notion that the president had no idea what Project 2025 was during the campaign was absurd, or that he didn't know the people who were involved with it was absurd," Haberman said.

"It was not actually his campaign's platform, but there was overlap between his campaign's advisers or some of their advisers and the people who worked on Project 2025," she continued. "It was also an unpopular agenda item in a lot of polling, just objectively unpopular. And that was part of the reason why you saw the trump campaign trying to distance him from it."

"Now he's just openly talking about it, and it is just providing fresh fodder for democrats who the white house had been trying to blame for the fact that the shutdown exists in the first place," she continued.
