Post from Truth Social

It was my Great Honor to pardon Michael Flynn, a FEARLESS Patriot and Decorated General, who was savagely attacked by the Biden/Obama Deep State, which has now been completely exposed for the FRAUD it is. These Radical Left Lunatics unleashed a relentless storm of lies, FAKE charges, and dirty FBI “tricks” during the Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax to try and crush Mike’s Spirit — But this Great American Hero was INNOCENT. Now Mike has written a fantastic new Book, “PARDON OF INNOCENCE: An Inspiring Story of Faith and Freedom,” which will greatly encourage Citizens across our Nation to NEVER GIVE UP.

This Flynn book promotion post is psychologically notable primarily for its reality distortion function. Flynn pleaded guilty twice to lying to the FBI, yet Trump characterizes him as "INNOCENT"—a wholesale revision of documented legal history. The post uses Flynn as a narcissistic proxy: by narrating Flynn's persecution and vindication, Trump rehearses his own preferred narrative arc. The redemption structure (hero → unjust attack → resilience → vindication) serves as a loyalty template for the broader movement, with "NEVER GIVE UP" functioning as both inspirational slogan and implicit demand for continued allegiance. The splitting is stark—Flynn is cast as a "Great American Hero" while opponents are "Radical Left Lunatics" perpetrating "FRAUD." The gaslighting dimension is significant: the post requires its audience to accept that guilty pleas, a Special Counsel investigation, and federal charges were entirely fabricated—functioning as an epistemic loyalty test. This pattern of rewriting legal and factual records to match preferred narratives represents a consistent feature of Trump's communication strategy, reinforcing in-group epistemology where official narratives are replaced by leader-sanctioned ones.

Fact Checks (2)
"Michael Flynn was INNOCENT"
False

Flynn pleaded guilty twice (2017 and 2020 reaffirmation) to making false statements to the FBI regarding his conversations with Russian Ambassador Kislyak. He later sought to withdraw his plea. The DOJ moved to dismiss the case in 2020 before Trump pardoned him.

"Biden/Obama Deep State attacked Flynn with FAKE charges"
Mostly False

Flynn was charged under the Trump DOJ (AG Sessions recused, investigation predated Biden). The investigation originated in the Obama-era FBI's Crossfire Hurricane probe. While procedural concerns were raised about FBI interview conduct, the charges themselves were based on documented false statements.
