There have been a lot of wild, Trump Derangement Syndrome reactions to the construction of President Donald Trump's White House ballroom, from Hillary Clinton to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY).
They don't seem to care about the need for the space or that so many presidents in the past have done numerous renovations to the White House complex. All they care about is using it as an attack point.

I thought Hillary's response was the worst, given the many ways her family did the White House wrong. But it seems that Democrat Rep. Eric Swalwell (CA-14) wants to challenge her with his entry. He wants to make it a litmus test for 2028 Democrat candidates for president that they will pledge to tear down the ballroom.
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.

So let's see. Swalwell wants Democrats to run on wrecking something that we got for free. Something that even the Washington Post editorial board said was needed — that even Biden and Obama officials were acknowledging privately was needed.

Please do. Remember when the 2020 Democrat presidential candidates, including Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, raised their hands to acknowledge that their "government plans" would include health care for illegal aliens?
NBC: "Raise your hand if your government plan would provide coverage for [illegal aliens]."

Every Democrat on stage raised their hand.
Flash forward to today, Democrats are demanding $1.5 trillion to fund their radical agenda, including healthcare for illegal aliens. pic.twitter.com/nzG30jtSNX
They should do it like the 2020 debate question, so it can come back to haunt them that they would do something so stupid. Notice who was the last character on the right, agreeing to that stupidity in 2020.
So what would they do? Spend taxpayer dollars to build a smaller office space that doesn't serve the need? And then, wait for it, aren't they then destroying "part of the White House"? Isn't that evil, according to their rules?
But this is how lost the Democrats are at this point when they come up with things like this. This is what they are focused on, rather than the Schumer Shutdown.
On X, Right Glock Mom noticed that Swalwell had to update that version from his original post, and it's funny.

After getting a huge backlash on the issue, Swalwell amended his "demand." A lot. He called for renaming it after Barack Obama, per a suggestion from Sen. Ruben Gallego (D-NM).
***Or, as @RubenGallego proposes, rename it the Barack Obama Ballroom.

But a Trump monument to corruption will not stand.
But wait, I thought the ballroom was an abomination that needed to be ripped down? Now you want to put Obama's name on it? And that stops it from being an abomination? Getting people to donate to the U.S. equals "corruption." But soaking the taxpayer for all their money or billions for Ukraine is looking out for their interests.
Can we talk about how Democrats don't make any sense and have lost their minds?
Editor’s Note: The Schumer Shutdown is here. Rather than put the American people first, Chuck Schumer and the radical Democrats forced a government shutdown for healthcare for illegals. They own this.
