A California Democrat has called on presidential hopefuls in the 2028 race to vow to 'tear down' Donald Trump's $250million golden ballroom 'on day one.'
Eric Swalwell demanded fellow Democrats considering running in the next election take a firm stand against the ballroom, which is already under construction and has been funded by private donors.
'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,' he wrote on X.
Alternatively, he said nominees could consider renaming it to the 'Barack Obama Ballroom' after reports emerged last week that Trump plans to name the space 'The President Donald J. Trump Ballroom.'
'A Trump monument to corruption will not stand,' Swalwell added.
Trump began demolition work on the century-old East Wing of the White House last week to pave the way for his grand new ballroom.
Critics argued Swalwell's demands are emblematic of the wider problem within the Democratic Party, which is more focused on tearing down Trump than improving the lives of hardworking Americans.
'Great. Incur unnecessary expenses for show. That's what we expect from Democrats,' one critic told Swalwell.
'Imagine being elected to the House of Representatives and making this your priority,' another wrote.
'I can't believe you think that is a winning message. But in fantasy Democrat land, that's a winning strategy,' a third added.
'Great idea - tear down a brand new addition - worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Pure genius here!'

The hubris of the hypocritical Left is breathtaking.
It won’t last long as when I first heard about it I knew the Democrats would never allow it to remain..a fool’s errand..
Democrats when they get in power will either burn it to the ground or blow it up on national TV for all the World to see....And there will be a huge party...
Very.
Very.
These people are psychotic... for real. Everything he does, good bad or indifferent, triggers a total meltdown.
If Trump cured cancer - with private funds - they’d scream and demand we start getting cancer again.
Sure name it after worthless pos Obama who had nothing to do with it.
An arson target for the next four years. (Backburning for social justice)
So they will promise to destroy $250 million of Federal property on day one? Great!
Can’t he just nuke it?
The more Dems protest, the more I want Trump to make the ballroom as gaudy as possible.
Blow it out your ***, Swallowell!
Psychotic, yes, but also extremely petty.
“A California Democrat has called on presidential hopefuls in the 2028 race to vow to ‘tear down’ Donald Trump’s $250million golden ballroom ‘on day one.’”
The struggle with TDS is real.
You are bit of a moron at best.
Every day this disgusting fagface is not serving g a life sentence is a day this administration failed in its duty to the American people.
It's another 80/20 issue Democrats are the wrong side of.
But an obama monument to corruption is OK, right?????
What stinking hypocrites.
They're all overgrown spoiled brats, toddlers in adult bodies who never heard the word *No*.
