The former director of Project 2025, a right-wing plan for what Donald J. Trump could do in a second term as president, is sharply criticizing Mr. Trump’s campaign, accusing its two top advisers of a series of missteps, lack of preparation and overconfidence that he says have jeopardized Mr. Trump’s chances in November.
In an interview, Mr. Dans, a lawyer who served several roles in the final two years of the Trump administration, blamed Mr. Trump’s senior advisers, Chris LaCivita and Susie Wiles, for the episode and for the close race. He urged Mr. Trump to replace the two consultants.
“Trump should be running like Secretariat at the Belmont, but instead it’s a race to the wire,” Mr. Dans said.
