Only reason to do that is if he’s hiding something.
- It may not even be that rational. It could be as simple as him being petty.
  
  100% it’s pettiness. He thrives on it. He ENJOYS being a barrier to people’s access to anything. It’s how he feels ‘powerful’.

What a pathetic little man.

  Aw let's not besmirch the poor mushroom. Trump's penis is an itty-bitty, teenie-fungi weenie.

That’s normal. Remember how every other president did the same thing? /s

I revoke Trump’s security clearance to my secrets. If he submits an FOIA request, within 90 days, I’ll be happy to send him 40 pages of redacted text where the only words not redacted are “Ivanka” and “BOFA.”
- What’s the Bank of America have to do with anything?
  
  BOFA Deez nuts lol gottem

Um, good? Security clearance should probably revoked for everyone not in an active role that requires it.
- The hats not how security clearance works. That also ignores that Trump broke several laws when he used that security clearance while he was campaigning to “negotiate” with Israel and Putin even through he wasn’t president. You can’t have it both ways.

No one in the title deserves security clearances, especially not Trump and Hillary.
- Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State for eight years and has plenty of reason to have a security clearance for her advice. Lumping her in with Trump (let alone saying that Biden and Harris who were just P and VP mere months ago shouldn't have clearance) is an absolute dogshit take.
  
  Does her current role require access to classified data? If it does not, then she doesn't need clearance. It is literally as simple as "need to know".
  
  I don’t care if she was Secretary of State, revoke it considering she wanted to risk starting WW3 over Syria of all places with her no fly zone which is protecting ISIS and ‘moderate rebels’ (whom just killed thousands recently in Latakia after their take over) from Russian bombs by proxy.
  Her being the Secretary of State during her time period is even more reason to not give her security clearance.
  Edit: Lasherz made it clear that by how my comment was worded, that I am stating that protecting ISIS was Clinton’s task, it wasn’t but she was doing it (in my eyes) by proxy.
