Trump Throws Temper Tantrum

Read more here:

"House Speaker Paul Ryan on Tuesday downplayed a threat by President Trump to revoke security clearances for a number intelligence officials who served under President Barack Obama as "trolling" and not a political act.

"I think he's trolling people, honestly," Ryan told reporters. "This is something that is in the purview of the executive branch."

Ryan moved on quickly when asked whether it is dangerous for Trump to threaten people's security clearances over politics. Democrats and Republicans have warned that revoking classified access over political dissent could have a chilling effect on the intelligence community.

On Monday, White House press secretary Sarah Sanders told reporters that the former officials could lose security clearance over political statements. The list includes former CIA Director John Brennan; former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper; former FBI Director James Comey; retired Gen. Michael Hayden, a former director of the CIA; former national security adviser Susan Rice; and former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe."

Why can't they revoke security clearance from old baby Trump after he bent the knee to Putin in Helsinki 🤷🏻‍♂️

Former political people that Monetize their former positions?....what about current political figures that monetize using their positions? How much has Trump golf courses made? How much has his daughter made? ....c'mon really???

He constantly uses his position to seek revenge against people. I hope when the time comes, all can be used against him for abuse of his positions.

Trump’s security clearance should be revoked.

Best part is, the folks targeted for getting their clearances revoked all pretty much had the same response as Iran's President did to Trump's all-caps hissy fit: "Yeah, right...whatever"

"Trump Throws a Temper Tantrum" ; otherwise known as "Tuesday" . 😜

No point in belittling Helsinki with "stinki" because your president made a fool of himself there. Helsinki is a beautiful city and the Finnish wonderful and have noting to do with stinking USA politics. Otherwise you are on the point.

Of course it is politicising, it deserves to be politicised, it’s about politics

[barnabyaprobert]

Pres. Fragile Ego gets so upset! LMFAO!

[jsmo]

Now WHY wouldn't a journo ask, "In that case does the President believe that he is the only public servant allowed to make baseless accusations and monetize public service, since he does it every day?"

Great reporting. This is my favorite channel.

A child wants M&Ms. Their parent(s) tell them no. The child throws a tantrum, throws pots and pans around so that their kitchen is a mess. By the time the parent(s) have finished cleaning up after him/her, they find their child hiding in a closet with a bag of M&Ms.

Trump is the child throwing pots and pans.

Clapper should have been jailed and stripped of all clearance.
