Ballroom Derangement Syndrome

Democrats are drawing a new political line in the sand — over President Trump’s controversial White House ballroom. Rep. Eric Swalwell is demanding that every 2028 Democratic candidate pledge to demolish the “Trump Ballroom” if they win, calling it a “Day One wrecking ball” promise.
The issue has exploded across media and social networks, with some Democrats calling the project corruption at its core, while conservatives mock the outrage as “Ballroom Derangement Syndrome.”
Polls show that while most Democrats oppose the ballroom, only about half of Americans agree — raising questions about whether the demolition pledge is political theater or a real campaign issue.
Watch as we break down the growing divide over the Trump Ballroom — who supports tearing it down, who says it’s symbolic politics, and what it means for the 2028 race.
