Is tRump still getting security briefings?

I heard that President Biden said he'd leave it up to his security advisors and I've not heard anything since. After seeing bits of his latest loony display on Sunday I wouldn't want him being told how to find the key to the front door under the mat....

Although he doesn't have any authority in this matter. His opinion has value however.

. . . . plans to start them. He *may* get them if/when he travels someplace where a security briefing would be helpful to him or the country (don't go to East Buttfuck because there are militants there who hate your ass and have shown the ability to set off pipe bombs in unfortunate places).

You know his 'Buds' in East Buttfuck would welcome him and the pipe bombs would be used to line the roads with fireworks displays welcoming him!

Now were he to go to West Buttfuck - that could be a different story.......

I honestly don’t see any reason for former presidents to keep getting security briefings, unless they are acting as advisors to the current president.

Feel free to enlighten me...

Former Presidents may receive, out of courtesy, a briefing on some intelligence. It is not a blanket "anything" included. It is always need to know. With the "last guy" he doesn't meed to know anything.

In fact, they ought to give him some disinformation briefings and see where it comes out. Tell him some bullshit and make him think it's top secret stuff. Next thing you know, dollars to doughnuts, Putin or the Saudis will be thinking they got some kind of scoop.
