At Wednesday’s White House press briefing, press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders read a statement<\/a><\/strong> from the President announcing that he is revoking the security clearance of former CIA Director John Brennan. This action was obviously taken today because yesterday Brennan tweeted<\/a><\/strong> a harsh, and well deserved, criticism of Donald Trump for his childish and racist attack on Omarosa Manigault-Newman. He chastised Trump for “fail[ing] to live up to minimum standards of decency.”<\/em> Or, in other words, for being Trump.<\/p>\n

To some degree, Trump is lashing out here as a distraction from the Mueller probe and Omarosa\u2019s book tour. But it could not be more apparent that Trump is also exacting vengeance on Brennan for having the audacity to challenge his omnipotent authority to behave like a cholicky infant. If Trump wants to call his former diversity outreach czar a dog, he should be able to so without mature adults pointing out that he’s an embarrassment to the presidency. However, the statement read by Sanders (and quite obviously not written by Dotard Trump) contained some hysterical hypocrisies and serves as evidence of how blinded Trump is by his conceit and narcissism. It began by alleging, without basis, that Brennan’s “erratic conduct”<\/em> posed some unspecified risks. It continued:<\/p>\n

“Mr. Brennan has recently leveraged his status as a former high-ranking official with access to highly sensitive information to make a series of unfounded and outrageous allegations – wild outbursts on the internet and television – about this Administration. Mr. Brennan\u2019s lying and recent conduct, characterized by increasingly frenzied commentary, is wholly inconsistent with access to the Nation\u2019s most closely held secrets and facilitates the very aim of our adversaries, which is to sow division and chaos.”<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

If these remarks weren’t specifically addressed to Mr. Brennan, they could easily be mistaken for Trump’s resignation letter. Everything enumerated above describes Trump to a tee:<\/p>\n
