I really wonder if Trump would be able to get security clearance if he tried to get one.

It's not a constitutional requirement - But it should be part of the application process when one files for a run

Scum like him wont even get to the primary process.

when they investigate, they worry mostly about
(a) people who don't tell the truth
(b) people who may be subject to blackmail
(c) people with contacts with unsavory characters and/or people from nations we're not completely allied with.

donnie is off the charts in all three areas.

no way in hell he's getting a security clearance through the normal process.

No way, no how. Too many sexual pecadillos openly admitted to on public media, too many Russia ties, too many questionable business dealings.

Trump is a walking, talking security risk, sitting in the Oval Office.

Putin's PUppet.
