Steve Schmidt predicts Trump's ballroom "will be torn down"

His post-election Short contrasts Trump's building ambitions with affordability and accountability, while warning Democrats against treating the result as an endpoint.

It will all be torn down.

Gas prices and corruption come first on Steve Schmidt's list of unfinished business. A presidential ballroom tour, he argues, points to a very different set of priorities.

In "It will all be torn down.", Schmidt uses Democrats' capture of the House to make a prediction about Trump's physical legacy: "He's not keeping the plane, and the ballroom will be torn down." That is Schmidt's forecast, not an announced demolition plan.

The Short drew roughly 48,000 views in its first 15 hours, already several times the channel's usual full-day audience for this format. The comment count had also passed three times its usual first-day level.

The ballroom is becoming a recurring subject on The Warning with Steve Schmidt. In "Dead Air: Golden Future Rubble | Steve Schmidt & Dean Blundell", posted the same day, the pair call for a Democrat to publicly promise its removal, naming Jon Ossoff and Abdul El-Sayed as their preferred messengers.

But this Short ends its political argument somewhere less celebratory. Schmidt warns that an election defeat does not end Trump's power or the confrontation ahead: "The fight with MAGA and the fight with Trump, my friends, is not over."
