Trump: I am NOT trying to get top security clearance for my children

The reporting in the last day or so suggested that Trump was trying to get top security clearance for his children and that he wanted Jared Kushner to join him in the daily intelligence briefings.

But Trump came out this morning and squashed that reporting with this tweet:

His spokesman told CNN basically the same thing:

Trump went on a few minutes later to hammer the NY Times for its false reporting on the transition, saying it is going smoothly:

Last night, well before his morning tweet storm, Trump made it sound like Cabinet Apprentice when he tweeted this out about the transition:

Leave it to Trump to make something so serious sound like a reality show competition where there are finalists!

Regarding the transition news… Honestly, I don’t really care about all the reported drama in this transition team selection process. It will get done, just like any other administrative task, and Trump will go on to be inaugurated in January and anything that happened will be a forgotten memory as Trump is president next year. The media is just looking for a story to keep their post-election ratings as high as they can get them.
