Trump Locked Out Of White House After Accidentally Revoking Own Security Clearance

WASHINGTON—Growing increasingly flustered while impotently pounding on the front door and pleading to come inside, President Trump was reportedly locked out of the White House Thursday after accidentally revoking his own security clearance. “C’mon, just open the door, guys! I didn’t mean to strip myself of access to classified information and restricted areas,” said Trump, who was forbidden from entering the premises after unwittingly writing his name on the list of individuals having their clearances revoked, thinking it was where he was supposed to place his signature. “Please, I’m sorry! I really wanna come back inside. It was an honest mistake. Oh, no, it’s starting to rain.” At press time, Trump pressed his face up and tapped on the window of the Oval Office, prompting John Kelly to pull down the blinds.

When I was hired in 1975, I was given a TOP SECRET clearance on day one. Then after a big investigation I was upgraded to a "Q" clearance. In my past 1972, the navy had given me a SECRET clearance. Everything I have read about the president surprises me that he still has a clearance? If a person can be BLACK MAILED their clearance is removed. If a person has poor financial habits.....no clearance. I am amazed this TURD still has a clearance! CRAZY people do NOT have any special clearance...........

The president does not need a clearance. Being elected puts you in charge and able to see every secret. Same of Congress people although they usually only show sensitive Intel to those that are on the relevant commitees.
