Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., was mocked for demanding that any 2028 Democratic presidential candidate pledge to demolish President Donald Trump<\/a>‘s ballroom.<\/p>\n

“Don\u2019t even think of seeking the Democratic nomination for president unless you pledge to take a wrecking ball to the Trump Ballroom on DAY ONE,” Swalwell wrote<\/a> on X on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Swalwell followed up with another post to X that read, “Or, as @RubenGallego proposes, rename it the Barack Obama Ballroom. But a Trump monument to corruption will not stand.”<\/p>\n

The Democratic lawmaker was called out by conservatives and lawmakers, including Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, who wrote, “these people are deranged.”<\/p>\n

“I thought you guys were against demolishing anything at the White House,” Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, wrote.<\/p>\n

Trump announced last week that construction had begun on the ballroom<\/a> after months of touting the upcoming project to modernize the White House. The project does not cost taxpayers and is privately funded, the administration has repeatedly said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The ballroom’s construction set off a firestorm of criticism<\/a> among Democrats, as well as liberal media commentators.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Oh you’re trying to say the cost of living is skyrocketing? Donald Trump can’t hear you over the sound of bulldozers demolishing a wing of the White House to build a new grand ballroom,” Democratic Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren posted to X.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But conservatives took aim at Swalwell’s demands.<\/p>\n

“Yes, Democrats should run on Trump’s ballroom,” The Washington Free Beacon’s Chuck Ross said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Conservative commentator AG Hamilton called out Swalwell for “promising to spend taxpayer time and money” to destroy the ballroom.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He quipped that it was “certainly one way to signal priorities for Democrats.”<\/p>\n

“The Vince Show” host Vince Coglianese pointed to the Democrats’ initial criticism of the demolition at the White House.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I was reliably told that demolishing side buildings = \u2018destroying the White House,'” he wrote. “Now it’s part of the platform!”<\/p>\n

The National Review’s Jeff Blehar posted a screenshot of one of his pieces<\/a> that read,\u00a0<\/p>\n

“In the meantime, we shall see which Democrat is willing to escalate first, by publicly demanding a wrecking ball on Day One of the next Democratic administration,” Blehar wrote.<\/p>\n

Blehar pointed out that Swalwell’s demand was the “exact language” of his piece.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Washington Post editorial board defended the ballroom project<\/a> in a piece on Sunday, suggesting that future Democratic presidents would be grateful for the room.<\/p>\n

“The White House cannot simply be a museum to the past. Like America, it must evolve with the times to maintain its greatness. Strong leaders reject calcification. In that way, Trump\u2019s undertaking is a shot across the bow at NIMBYs everywhere,” the editors wrote.<\/p>\n
