Trump revokes Biden's security clearance.
President Donald Trump said Friday night that he was revoking the security clearance of former President Joe Biden, citing Biden's "poor memory" and the fact that Biden had done the same to him.
Trump is really rescinding Biden's security clearance out of spite, not because Biden is going gaga. But the argument is valid: Biden is going gaga and probably shouldn't have access to sensitive material anymore. And by the same token, neither should Dubya.
So I'm not really outraged by this for a change.
No, it's not that at all. The reasons former presidents retain their security clearance is to permit the current President to ask them for advice. Trump would never do that, because he is afraid people would see it as a sign of weakness.
Yes, and the advice of senile former presidents isn't helpful. One tool in the White House is enough; we don't need another one whispering in his ear. And anyway, as you said, Trump isn't going to use any advice anyway.
rump shouldn't either. His head is just a shit storage tank! Fucking orange garbage bag filled with oatmeal!
