I know senators and Governors have some level of clearance. But Trump? I just don't know.

This question isn't based on the debate tonite. Just a question I've been wanting to ask.

(23,156 posts)if he or she is in some sort of job that requires one. Many years ago I had a job where I was supposed to get a security clearance, but I wasn't planning to stay there very long, so I didn't bother to fill out the paperwork for it. It wouldn't have come through before I would be leaving, so why bother.
The Donald has never been employed by any such entity.
my job requires a clearance and I can see him being vetted now, but not 6 months ago. Yet he's spouted national security issues from day one.
