First we were told President-elect Trump’s three eldest children–Donald Jr., Eric, and Ivanka–would be running the Trump empire while daddy was serving as President, and now it appears they might even receive classified information because their old man wants to make sure they have a top secret security clearance.
WTF?!
CBS News is reporting that the new president plans to request that the children from his first marriage be given security clearances so they can act as unofficial national security advisors. And of course so they can share such intelligence with their Russian puppet masters to whom they owe millions of dollars.
After the news leaked out, the Trump transition team strongly denied the CBS report, telling a pool reporter:

Other Twitter users took to their keyboards and let the Trumps have it:
I'm sure she makes some fantastic handbags but does Ivanka Trump really need national security clearance?

Why do Trump's three Cylons need to security clearance? Who in the hell is going to be "running" this sideshow? https://t.co/vEXXSe0y5v

There is NO REASON why Trump's children should have special security clearance. None. This is not a family business.

Trump wants his kids to have National Security Clearance AND run Trump empire. Logically that would be NO. But nothing about this is logical

Trump wants Uday, Qusay and Raghad to get full top security clearance?
Did someone say TYRANNICAL DESPOT LEADER in the works or nah

Trump probably just asked for security clearance for Ivanka, Eric & Junior to make Tiffany feel bad.
Poor Tiffany. #NotMyPresident

Trump: "And I want top security clearance for my kids"
Secret Service guy: "ALL of them? Aren't there like 20?"

Yeah, it’s gonna be a long four years. But we’ll get through it with laughter.
