Swalwell tells Democrats to destroy Trump's ballroom or else
American Thinker ^ | 26 Oct, 2025 | Monica Showalter

Posted on 10/26/2025 5:40:39 PM PDT by MtnClimber

Somehow, Rep. Eric Swalwell has appointed himself the enforcer of the entire Democrat party.

So now he's issued this marching order to his fellow Democrats:

Don’t even think of seeking the Democratic nomination for president unless you pledge to take a wrecking ball to the Trump Ballroom on DAY ONE. — Rep. Eric Swalwell (@RepSwalwell) October 26, 2025

Which is pretty grotesque. Democrats are planning to appeal to voters on this selling point? It seems a little ... unimportant, given the kinds of problems created by Democrats that President Trump is now solving.

What's more, it's a bad idea -- Trump is building the ballroom because the White House needs a ballroom, it's an official house and conducts official functions, some of which require accommodating large numbers of people. Destroying that, which cost taxpayers nothing, is costly, and for nothing but spite against President Trump.

Is he really advocating for people walking on wet, muddy grass, including women in high heels and old people with walkers before heading indoors to events in cattle tents, and using the Porta-potties to relieve themselves, as had been the status quo until Trump? They seem to hate civilized (and handicapped accessible) accommodations. The only thing that matters to them is Getting Trump.

Is this the best idea they have? The hill they die on?

The best they can offer?

... and what they expend political muscle on to enforce conformity?

The coerciveness of it is noteworthy.

While I have no inside information on this, the spite over symbolism has the stench of Nancy Pelosi on it, and it's known that he's been her machine enforcer to Democrats the past. If so, he's probably doing this as a favor to her, in exchange for ... something. Wonder what.

The party of destruction is trying to live up to their name.

They hate it because it symbolizes Trump’s success.

These people are truly mentally ill.

Chris Plante has been saying that like in the early Vietnam era, protesting Dem leaders should be practicing self immolation to show their sincere determination.

Maybe Swalwell should volunteer.

Swillhell needs his Fang Fang ass thrown in prison for destruction of government property.

And it will serve an actual function for whoever is head of state. If osamabama or weekend at biden’s came up with it they would have praised its practicality and it was about time.

Republicans should have to pledge they will prosecute Swalwell for being a Chi-com asset.

No surprise here. There is nothing good coming from the Dems. They do not know how to build up only tear down.

When Trump says he is building a ballroom everyone just thinks of a place to dance, how do we know that it doesn’t mean that a wheelbarrow just isn’t big enough anymore?

Yeah, that’s the hill to die on, Fartswell. Keeping pushing that issue, you’ll get Dems elected in a landslide.

Nancy Pelosi’s pet project was the Kennedy Center expansion and now she can’t parade around in the Kennedy Center. She is just miserable

Advocacy for civil discord should preclude ballot access and office tenure of any kind.

"They hate it because it symbolizes Trump’s success."

They also hate it because taxpayers didn't pay for it.

Priceless!

Probably couldn’t ask for a better individual and statement to illustrate the depths of insanity that the Democrat party has achieved.

Should be used in Republican campaigns across the United States.

Isn’t Swalwell vulnerable to prosecution considering his relationship with Fang Fang?

I remember when DH had TS clearance we had to be SO careful about our personal associations. There was a lovely Chinese family in our church, but we couldn’t socialize with them. If we had, DH would have had to report it to superiors.

With Swalwell, sex was involved and there are no repercussions? Seems wrong.
