The Great Security Clearance Purge
Well, folks, it looks like the gloves are finally off in Washington. Our favorite straight-talking, no-nonsense former President Donald Trump has decided it’s high time to clean house when it comes to security clearances. And boy, did he ever deliver a doozy!
In a move that’s got the Beltway buzzing like a hornet’s nest, Trump has revoked the security clearances of a whole slew of Democratic bigwigs. We’re talking about the likes of Antony Blinken, Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg, and New York AG Letitia James. It’s like watching the political equivalent of “The Apprentice,” but instead of “You’re fired,” it’s “Your clearance is toast!”
Blinken Gets the Boot
Let’s start with our dear friend Antony Blinken. Trump didn’t mince words when it came to this former Secretary of State. In his typical, refreshingly blunt style, Trump declared:
“Bad guy. Take away his passes.” – Trump
Short, sweet, and to the point. That’s our Trump! No need for flowery language or diplomatic niceties. When you’re dealing with folks who’ve been playing fast and loose with our national security, sometimes you just need to rip off the Band-Aid.
The New York Nemeses
But wait, there’s more! Trump didn’t stop at just Blinken. He also gave the boot to Letitia James and Alvin Bragg, those New York legal eagles who’ve been circling Trump like vultures. Now, I don’t know about you, but I find it mighty interesting that these two, who’ve been leading the charge in prosecuting Trump, suddenly find themselves on the wrong side of the security clearance fence. Coincidence? I think not!
And let’s not forget the cherry on top of this security clearance sundae. Trump didn’t just stop at the state level. He went right to the top, revoking clearances for Biden’s National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan and Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco. It’s like watching a high-stakes game of political Jenga, and Trump just pulled out the bottom blocks!
Turnabout is Fair Play
Now, some might call this retaliation for Biden’s refusal to give Trump his customary national security briefings. But let’s be real here, folks. Trump is just giving Biden a taste of his own medicine. As Trump so eloquently put it:
“There is no need for Joe Biden to continue receiving access to classified information.” – Trump
And why’s that, you ask? Well, Trump didn’t pull any punches when explaining his reasoning:
“The Hur Report revealed that Biden suffers from ‘poor memory’ and, even in his ‘prime,’ could not be trusted with sensitive information. I will always protect our National Security — JOE, YOU’RE FIRED. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” – Trump
There you have it, folks. Trump’s not just playing defense anymore. He’s taking the fight right to their doorstep, and he’s doing it with style. It’s about time someone stood up and said enough is enough when it comes to who gets access to our nation’s secrets. After all, if you can’t remember where you put your car keys, should you really be trusted with the nuclear codes?
