‘Public trust obliterated’: Mike Flynn tells Trump people are demanding ‘accountability’
The Deep State has to go.
That’s apparently the sum of a new message on social media from retired Lt. Gen. Mike Flynn to President Donald Trump.
His message is furious and raw, and “reflects the deep frustration of tens of millions of Americans who believe their country has been systematically hollowed out by an unaccountable ruling class,” according to the Gateway Pundit.
Flynn, who was Trump’s national security adviser for the first few weeks of Trump’s first term, wrote online:
Dear Mr. @POTUS,
I know you are listening to We the People. This message is sent on behalf of a very frustrated 79 million Americans who voted for you and millions more who refuse to be ignored.
Therefore, we are designating
2026 as
THE YEAR OF ACCOUNTABILITY!
Why now?
Because the country is at a breaking point.
Our freedoms are being chipped away in plain sight.
Our government has grown bloated, arrogant, and unaccountable.
Public trust has not merely declined; it has been obliterated.
Power has been stripped from citizens and hoarded by bureaucrats, agencies, and unelected elites.
Those who call themselves leaders protect each other while the American people pay the price.
Civic duty has vanished from classrooms, replaced by obedience and ideology.
The family, once the backbone of this nation, has been systematically weakened and devalued.
Enough is Enough!
At its core, this is not partisan.
All Americans are demanding ACCOUNTABILITY.
We the People reject the lies, the gaslighting, the censorship, and the deliberate erosion of our lived reality over the past decade.
We remember what was done.
We know who did it.
We are no longer willing to move on without consequences.
The message is unmistakable and unstoppable. Americans demand ACCOUNTABILITY.
So Mr. @POTUS, the question for you to answer is simple.
Will you stand with We The People or will you protect the system that failed us?
Make 2026 the year of ACCOUNTABILITY.
We will stand with you through thick and thin like we always have, but you must respect our wishes.
If you don’t, as our founders warned, the deep state concentration of power in government will lead to greater corruption and eventual tyranny.
And your legacy in history will be tarnished beyond repair.
Respectfully,
1 of the 79 million voters
BREAKING: We The People demand ACCOUNTABILITY!

Therefore, we are designating
2026…

The American Deep State largely is considered those unelected and often unaccountable bureaucrats who make many of the decisions affecting Americans. They create the “rules,” the “regulations,” the “requirements” that emanate from congressional law.
That population has been fiercely opposed to President Trump in recent years, with testimonies, mostly anonymous, confirming how members will do everything they can to block his Make America Great Again plans.
Flynn, a retired U.S. Army lieutenant general, was briefly national security adviser before allegations he lied about conversations he had with Russian officials surfaced.
He had taken a plea bargain with special counsel Robert Mueller regarding his conversations, but before sentencing, moved with withdraw his guilty plea claiming government vindictiveness and breach of agreement.
He then was pardoned by Trump.
The Gateway Pundit said the message “reflects the deep frustration of tens of millions of Americans who believe their country has been systematically hollowed out by an unaccountable ruling class.”
In fact, the Trump administration already has begun investigating, using the FBI and grand juries, the actions of leftists who undermined him and his agenda before and during his first presidency.
Among the subjects under review are the multiple lawfare cases brought by Democrats against Trump, the falsehoods given to Americans as truth in the “Russiagate” scandal, and much more.
