WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—Donald J. Trump’s crusade to revoke security clearances from perceived critics was on display again on Tuesday as he threatened to yank credentials from a man he had previously praised, Frederick Douglass.

It was unclear why Trump had turned on Douglass, because, unlike other targets of Trump’s security-clearance rampage, Douglass had not made disparaging comments about him on cable news in recent weeks.

Trump offered few clues as to the source of his unhappiness with Douglass, but he broadcast his disapproval of the abolitionist in a tweet that read, ā€œHE IS NO LONGER DOING AN AMAZING JOB.ā€

The threat to revoke Douglass’s credentials put the White House chief of staff, John Kelly, in a tough spot, because, presumably, Kelly would be the staff member tasked with carrying out such an order.

ā€œGeneral Kelly could point out to Trump that Frederick Douglass never had security clearance, and, plus, he is dead,ā€ an aide to Kelly said. ā€œBut neither of those things is likely to change Trump’s mind.ā€​

Yanking credentials is quite current my friend.
Trumplings don't understand satire. Don't even recognize it most of the time.
So don't bother ;)
 
Libtardia is an artificial world that revolves around Twitter.

I don't use the Twit other than to follow a few funny folks and laugh at the Orange Clown from time to time.
You mean Donald's world revolves around Twitter?
I agree
