Well, folks, it seems the tables have turned in the political playground. President Donald Trump has decided that former President Joe Biden no longer needs access to classified information. In a move that’s equal parts poetic justice and political theater, Trump announced on Truth Social that he’s revoking Biden’s security clearances and halting his daily intelligence briefings.
Own Medicine
Remember back in 2021 when Biden, in a fit of “concern” over national security, stripped Trump of his access to intelligence briefings? At the time, Biden cited Trump’s “erratic behavior” as the reason. Fast forward to today, and Trump is returning the favor, stating there’s “no need for Joe Biden to continue receiving access to classified information.” Talk about karma coming full circle.
The Hur Report: A Convenient Justification
Trump didn’t stop at mere reciprocity. He backed up his decision by referencing Special Counsel Robert Hur’s report, which painted Biden as a “well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.” According to the report, Biden’s memory lapses were so significant that he struggled to recall major life events, like the death of his own son. If that’s not a red flag for handling sensitive information, I don’t know what is.
Biden’s Cognitive Decline: The Elephant in the Room
It’s no secret that concerns about Biden’s cognitive abilities have been swirling for years. Reports have highlighted how White House aides went to great lengths to manage his public appearances, keeping meetings short and interactions scripted to avoid any “senior moments.” Even members of his own party have privately expressed doubts about his mental acuity. But hey, who needs a sharp mind when you’ve got a team of handlers to prop you up, right?
A Legacy of Concealment
The media has been complicit in downplaying Biden’s cognitive issues. A CBS reporter even admitted that Biden’s decline was the most “underreported” story of 2024. It’s almost as if there’s been a concerted effort to keep the American public in the dark. But now, with the Hur Report’s findings and Trump’s decisive action, the cat’s out of the bag.
National Security: A Convenient Excuse?
Trump framed his decision as a move to “protect our national security.” While some might see this as a justified step, others could argue it’s a politically motivated act of retribution. After all, if Biden’s cognitive decline is as severe as reported, should he have had access to classified information in the first place? It’s a question worth pondering.
The Final Word
In the end, Trump’s revocation of Biden’s security clearances serves as a stark reminder that political actions often come full circle. Biden set the precedent, and now he’s experiencing the consequences. As the saying goes, “What goes around, comes around.” And in this case, it’s come around with a vengeance.
