Donald Trump has just stripped Joe Biden of a significant privilege that all former presidents typically receive, arguing that he “could not be trusted.”
Trump is determined to reverse many of his predecessor’s policies and usher in what he calls “the golden age of America” during his administration.
Now, in what appears to be a direct rebuke to Biden, Trump has announced that he is revoking the former president’s security clearance and barring him from daily intelligence briefings, citing concerns over trust.
He wrote on his Truth Social platform: “There is no need for Joe Biden to continue receiving access to classified information.”

“JOE, YOU’RE FIRED,” the Republican quipped, referencing his famous catchphrase from The Apprentice. Lately, he has been using it frequently as he removes several of Biden’s former government officials.
Trump made this decision while asserting that Biden had done the same to him in 2021, marking the first time a former president was denied access to intelligence briefings.
He claimed that Biden “set this precedent” by directing the Intelligence Community (IC) to prevent “the 45th President of the United States (ME!)” from receiving national security updates— a privilege traditionally extended to ex-presidents.
