On April 11, 2025, Swalwell addressed issues concerning financial transparency and ethics among his congressional colleagues. He stated, "I have not purchased stocks in the last 48 hours. Or 48 weeks. Or 48 months… Can all of my colleagues say the same?"
Later that day, Swalwell directed his attention to Donald Trump. His post was notably candid: "Trump is a fucking joke. People are losing their savings. Stop talking." The critical tone starkly highlighted his disapproval of Trump's actions and perceived impact.
The congressman also expressed his concerns over aviation safety, specifically addressing the former president. On April 11, 2025, he remarked "Another plane crash. When will Donald Trump take responsibility? He cuts the FAA and we all pay." Swalwell's statement implicates budget cuts to the Federal Aviation Administration in aviation incidents.
