Former Trump Ally And Mets Legend Breaks Silence: ‘The President Is Compromised’

Finally someone says it

Lenny Dykstra is done defending Donald Trump.

The former Mets star, once a vocal supporter, took to X to call out the president. Dykstra said Trump is “compromised” and that he can no longer back him.

Dykstra explained why he was breaking with Trump. He criticized the president for threatening other countries while getting close to some world leaders.

He also called out Trump for keeping Epstein’s files secret when they should have been public from the start.

Dykstra has been outspoken before, but this is different. He is a household name. A three-time All-Star. A hero of the 1986 Mets, a team that brought fans unforgettable moments, including Dykstra’s legendary walk-off home run in the NLCS. His voice carries weight. People listen.

Just months ago, Dykstra defended Trump’s $250 million White House ballroom. He pointed out past spending under Obama to highlight what he called hypocrisy. Back then, he was firmly in Trump’s corner. Now, he is completely flipped.

The shift is sharp. Dykstra went from defending Trump to calling him out publicly. He highlighted what he sees as a betrayal of American priorities, from foreign wars to secrecy around Epstein.

This is not a casual remark. Dykstra is making it clear that he no longer supports Trump’s leadership or decisions. His criticism is direct, personal, and he is sharing it publicly for everyone to see.

For someone who grew up and made his name in sports, this is a powerful move. He is not a politician, but he understands influence. And he is using it.

Dykstra’s break shows how even loyal supporters can turn. Trump’s actions are pushing allies away, one by one.

The former first baseman’s words are blunt and unfiltered. He does not sugarcoat anything. Trump’s handling of sensitive issues, Dykstra says, crosses a line.

Fans are taking notice. Political observers are paying attention. When a figure like Dykstra speaks, it adds pressure and amplifies criticism.

This public split is a signal. Even once-loyal supporters are questioning the president. And when those voices rise, they cannot be ignored.
