Eric Swalwell, a member of the U.S. Congress representing California’s 14th district since 2013, has shared his views on former President Donald Trump’s policies through a series of tweets. Swalwell, who succeeded Pete Stark and holds degrees from the University of Maryland, voiced concerns over Trump’s economic and governance strategies.
In a tweet posted on March 5, 2025, Swalwell criticized Trump for focusing on cultural issues rather than financial stability. He stated, “Trump wants to stop woke but doesn’t care about making us broke.”
Later that day, Swalwell elaborated on his criticisms by accusing Trump and his Republican allies of mismanaging government resources. He tweeted at 03:15:07 UTC that “The bottom line? Trump and his GOP allies are running the government like a Ponzi scheme for the ultra-rich. Working Americans get higher bills, worse health care, and no relief—while billionaires get handouts. That’s not leadership. That’s theft.”
Swalwell also expressed dissatisfaction with what he perceives as repetitive rhetoric in political discourse by tweeting at 03:31:12 UTC “I thought re-runs were for the summer. I’m so bored.”
