Eric Swalwell Wants Candidate Litmus Test: Must Pledge to Demolish the Trump Ballroom
Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) has become the latest to succumb to what Trump supporters are now calling “BDS” – Ballroom Derangement Syndrome.
The northern California congressman wants a pledge from any 2028 Democrat presidential candidate that he or she will demolish President Donald Trump’s planned “big beautiful ballroom” — or not bother to seek the party’s nomination.
“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,” Swalwell wrote on X on Saturday night.
The political pejorative “BDS” — the acronym emerging in social media and even making it to the screen at Fox News — is a new variation of TDS, Trump Derangement Syndrome, a slam that has been around since the first Trump term in office.
Well, see, I don’t like that, because BDS is Bush Derangement Syndrome, the first true derangement by the moonbats. It’s what earned them the barking moonbat moniker. But, there really isn’t another good word for ballroom as a descriptor, so, anyhow, does Eric “Fang Fang” Swalwell have the juice to make this stick? To make the moonbat Democrat base adopt this as a belief?
A variety of eyebrow-raising ballroom reactions have been reported by Breitbart News.
Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) told MSNBC’s The Weeknight that the demolition of a section of the East Wing was “taking a wrecking ball to our democracy.”
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) told reporters the project was so the 47th president could be “celebrated as if he was a king.”
And, really, a ton of these hardcore leftists are freaking over a ballroom replacing a wing of the White House that virtually none of them could say what happens there. Even the Washington Post editorial board has defended the ballroom, but, the crazies have worked themselves up into a foaming lather against the ballroom. Dems will be running against Trump in 2028, even though he’s not running again, so, hey, why not BDS?
Excitable Teach forgets Clinton Derangement Syndrome (CDS) and Obama Derangement Syndrome (ODS)!
Rather than debate issues, MAGAts just label and dismiss criticism of King Donald as TDS. Rather lazy of MAGAts, though.
Anyway…
++++Plans for the ballroom, to be built alongside a “modernized” East Wing, were announced by the White House on July 31, 2025.
Trump said the ballroom being constructed “won’t interfere with the current building”, would not be “touching it”, and would pay “total respect to the existing building, which I’m the biggest fan of”.
The Washington Post reported in August that the project had not yet been submitted for review to the National Capital Planning Commission (NCPC) as required by federal law, and that such approvals often took years. The administration claimed that a 1964 executive order allowed the president to bypass the commission, but after a Post reporter pointed out the legal requirement, the White House said the commission “will be a part of that process at the appropriate time”.++++
Classic Donnie!!! Lie and ignore the rules. He’s the King!!
Evidently, demolition does NOT require an approval! So the next Dem prezzy can demolish the monument to stupidity at will!
FangBanger thinks he’s so clever.
Bwaha! Lolgf Loser!
MAGA47 Motherfucker!
In response, the RNC should say any Repub running for President must pledge to get rid of Eric Swalwell.
Please remember it is not just a ballroom for our elites.
It is also a disco playing 70 disco hits!!! Trump is such a party animal But also “classy”
F the history of the East Wing going back 120 years. Trump hated it said it was a dump. ..we need something more modern more Vegas with marble and gold and big chandeliers you no more of a Liberace vibe
Ahh yes the beloved Budh (shrub) he along with “vice” gave us that Global War on Terror that ended with a big L in Afghanistan. A war that Teach whole heartfelt supported, but of course failed to participate in by enlisting.
Ohhh and also Iraq where we were successful in turning Iraq from being Irans worst enemy into now being Iran’s best friend. Teach thank you for your service in blogging in support for both of those super clusterfucks.

Hardly. Note, that we said it first! Not much of a leap to conclude that this would be a meme.
