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.

Swalwell has been mad since he can’t bang fang fang anymore.
Paint a ChiCom flag on his office door.
WHO DOES THAT PUNK THINK HE IS????????
Unprintable
Fang Fang so lonely.
Fang Fang love Eric long time.
Swalwell is the poster child for the irrelevance of the state of California.
Just threw up in my mouth a bit... /s
Kash and Bongino should be investigating Swallwell for treason re. his dalliance with the CCP spy.

Evidently he didn’t read the WaPo editorial that supports the ballroom..
Eric Swalwell...an older version of David Hogg. A vile, disgusting human being.
Black Plantation Dwellers never go to balls.
Just so’s ya know...
AMENDMENT XIV; Section 3 reads:
“..No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability...”
The pettiest of the petty. Democrats don’t even care if there’s value to be added in having this ballroom...they’d tear it down because it’s “not their money,” and they would never give Donald Trump any credit for it.
