“Joe, You’re Fired!” Trump strips Biden’s security clearance in payback move
Donald Trump revoked Joe Biden’s security clearance on Friday, citing Biden’s own actions from 2021. He announced the decision on Truth Social, saying Biden no longer needs access to classified information.
Trump justified the move by recalling Biden’s 2021 order that blocked him from intelligence briefings. He said Biden set the precedent and claimed the special counsel report proved Biden’s “poor memory” made him unfit for sensitive information.
“The Hur Report revealed Biden couldn’t be trusted, even in his prime. I will always protect our national security—JOE, YOU’RE FIRED!” Trump posted.
Biden had previously denied Trump intelligence access, citing his “erratic behavior” and his role in the January 6 Capitol riots. He argued Trump’s attempts to overturn the 2020 election made him unfit for briefings.
After losing in 2020, Trump made a stunning comeback. In November 2024, he defeated Kamala Harris to reclaim the White House, setting the stage for his latest actions against Biden.
