Representative Eric Swalwell, a known figure in U.S. politics, frequently shares his perspectives on current national issues through social media. Serving California's 14th district since 2013, Swalwell provides his strong opinions on Trump's policies, particularly on economic matters, as reflected in his recent tweets.
On April 21, 2025, Swalwell expressed his concerns about the economic repercussions of “Trump’s reckless trade war,” warning that it is leading the nation “straight into a recession.” "We are not helpless. Congress can and must stop this economic sabotage before more hard-working families pay the price."
The following day, on April 22, 2025, Swalwell made a point about domestic economic priorities, wishing emphatically that the foremost priority should be "lowering the cost of fucking eggs."
Later that day, Swalwell underscored the importance of reflecting on historical actions during challenging times. He expressed optimism about overcoming the current struggles and emphasized a long-term view of actions taken, questioning whether political figures would be seen as supporters or opponents of Trump. “Did you EVER meet with him? OR did you OPPOSE him at every authoritative turn?”
Born in Sac City, Iowa, Swalwell, 42, currently lives in Livermore and possesses a strong educational background with a BA from the University of Maryland, College Park, and a JD from the University of Maryland, Baltimore. He succeeded Pete Stark in representing California’s 14th District.
