In an era where political loyalty often seems unshakable, a series of angry Facebook posts by a once-devoted Trump supporter named Ray Pickett is turning heads across social media.
What began as vocal support has seemingly flipped into public resentment — a digital paper trail of growing disillusionment with Donald Trump’s leadership and policies.
Ray Pickett: From MAGA Fan to Furious Critic
In October 2021, Ray Pickett proudly shared his excitement about Trump visiting Des Moines. With full enthusiasm, he announced he’d be attending to show his support and didn’t mince words for President Biden either.

Ray Pickett – October 8, 2021:
“Hell ya trump in des Moines sat. be there to support him. joe can kiss my ass.”
This post exemplified the kind of raw, unfiltered loyalty Trump has inspired among parts of his base. But the tone would not stay the same.
Fury Over Social Security and Betrayal
Fast-forward to today and the tone is anything but loyal. In a recent post, Pickett vented in explicit language about proposed cuts to Social Security, accusing Trump of betraying the very people who put him in power.

“Trump you can kiss my assss if you cut s.s. how about you give your money out to us. jerk. I regret I voted for you. maybe next time they won’t miss.”
The line “maybe next time they won’t miss” has particularly alarmed readers online due to its dark undertone. While it’s unclear what exactly Pickett meant, the statement reflects deep frustration — potentially bordering on dangerous rhetoric.

Healthcare System Rage: “He’s Letting People Go”
Pickett didn’t stop there. In another reply to a user named Tom Holm, he went on a tirade about how Trump-era decisions have impacted local VA clinics, forcing veterans like him to travel long distances for basic care.
“We have a new VA clinic. But he’s letting people go in the eye department… now I have to go clear to Des Moines… for my brain scan for Parkinson’s they let the doctors go. But they will pay for an outside one. And teachers being fired. He’s f**ing lost it.”*
Here, Pickett reveals personal struggles with healthcare and expresses how systemic breakdowns are now affecting his life and health directly.
Public Response: “Where Did That Come From?”
Naturally, Pickett’s followers were stunned by the sudden change. Tom Holm, a friend or follower, left a comment that captured what many were thinking:

A Larger Pattern? Or Just One Man’s Breaking Point?
While Pickett’s story is uniquely personal, it reflects a broader theme of disillusionment that has been slowly surfacing in parts of the MAGA base. Voters who once cheered for Trump are now grappling with the real-world consequences of policy decisions they once supported.
Whether Ray Pickett’s shift is part of a larger movement remains to be seen. But one thing is certain — his words have struck a chord and sparked debate.
Conclusion: Support Erodes When Promises Are Broken
The series of Facebook posts from Ray Pickett serves as a vivid reminder that political support isn’t unconditional. When livelihoods are threatened and healthcare access is eroded, even the most loyal voices may turn. And when they do, they leave a digital trail that speaks louder than any campaign slogan.
