what platform? they oficially havent had one since the 2020 election.
Project 2025 may be the unofficial platform, although officially adopting it may be a step too far for even the Republican party. If only because of the optics of it, not because they don't agree with all of it.
Certainly Trump has suggested cleaning house of "liberal" members of the public service so he can install his own cronies that will let him do whatever he wants, which is in line with Project 2025.
And that one was just recycled from 2016.
Slash it from what? They didn't even publish a platform in 2020. They just re-published the one from 2016 (that criticized the "current president", which was actually Trump at that time), and released a statement giving "enthusiastic support" to Trump's positions. There's no platform to slash.

There is no way Trump knows what at least two of those three words mean, so I wonder who actually said that?
Maybe they are dropping the first and last letters from MAGA.
"America Great!!!"
You know what they say about the size of a man's platform....
It shouldn't be greater then the size of his hands?
What platform?!
