Since Joe Biden “could not be trusted,” Donald Trump has now revoked a significant privilege that all previous presidents have enjoyed.
Trump’s goal is to restructure the majority of his predecessor’s policies and usher in what he calls “America’s golden age” during his presidency.
Trump now claims that he can’t ‘be trusted’ and is rescinding the former president’s security clearance and daily intelligence briefing access, seemingly in a slight to Biden.
He wrote on his Truth Social platform, “There is no need for Joe Biden to continue receiving access to classified information.”
The Republican went on to say, “JOE, YOU’RE FIRED,” a reference to his catchphrase from the television program The Apprentice, which he has been using a lot lately to fire some of Biden’s former government employees.
Trump’s move coincides with his accusation that Biden had excluded him from the briefings for the first time during his 2021 administration.
Biden set this precedent’, he claimed, when ‘he asked the Intelligence Community (IC) to stop the 45th President of the United States (ME!) from accessing details on National Security, a courtesy accorded to prior Presidents.’
