Ego is one of the four main methods foreign intelligence agencies use to get information from people.Up to 22 sexual assault allegations and/or other sexual misconduct, spanning four decades[103][104][105][106] How many people with Top Secret clearance have their own Wikipedia page full of sexual misconduct allegations?[107] In addition to the nearly two dozen women who have made allegations against him, there are recordings of Trump essentially admitting this behavior, corroborating some of the allegations himself:In a 2005 recording, Trump bragged in a radio interview about his practice of walking in on women and girls undressing at beauty pageants he owned, under the guise of “inspecting” it. “No men are anywhere, and I’m allowed to go in, because I’m the owner of the pageant.” By “allowed,” he apparently meant no one stopped him. Reveling in what he could “get away with,” his bragging left no ambiguity about his purpose: “You know, they're standing there with no clothes… And you see these incredible looking women, and so, I sort of get away with things like that.” His admission corroborates allegations made by some of the women he did this to, including five then-teenaged girls who competed in the 1997 Miss Teen USA pageant, some as young as 15. [108][109][110][111][112][113][114][115]In a separate 2005 incident, Trump was recorded saying he feels his celebrity allows him to assault women, specifically to kiss them (“I just start kissing them...I don't even wait...") or “grab” their genitalia, without their consent.[116][117][118][119][120] While Trump tried to downplay the remarks, he did admit to saying them and offered a rare apology.[121] In sworn testimony before Congress, Trump’s own appointee for Attorney General confirmed that the actions Trump described would “clearly” constitute sexual assault.[122]Compulsive lying[123][124][125][126][127][128][129][130][131][132][133]One of the most common reasons for rejection is dishonesty in the application process, or a failure to accurately disclose relevant information on the 100+ page security clearance application form called the SF-86. Odds are Trump would fudge the truth somewhere.Believe it or not, this isn’t even everything, I just got bored with the project.Any one of these many issues would potentially be enough to sink his chances on their own, but all of them? Come on. Even if his application somehow weren’t rejected just based on the first 5% of this, the sheer volume of information is so overwhelming that the background check wouldn’t even be completed.Also, this is just based on open source information. An actual background check involves full field investigation— reviews of every database, interviews with friends, family, business associates, neighbors, litigants, ex-wives, etc.And remember, security clearances are not decided on the same standard as criminal law and incarceration. In other words, he doesn’t have to be convicted in a court of law, there’s no “innocent until proven guilty” or “beyond a reasonable doubt” standard; suspicion is more than enough reason to be denied a security clearance. Furthermore, not every valid reason to deny a clearance is a crime. In fact, most are not (affairs, debt, alcoholism, shady friends, foreign ties, etc.)Below are the ten most common reasons people get denied clearance.[134] I’ve put the ones he might have problems with in bold:Financial ConsiderationsPersonal ConductDrug Involvement (though he did vouch for a convicted drug trafficker)Foreign InfluenceCriminal ConductAlcohol ConsumptionForeign PreferenceHandling Protected InformationUse of IT Systems (perhaps I should bold this for his heavy social media use and refusal to use a secure phone?)Sexual BehaviorA writer is supposed to show, not tell, but I know some people have a bit of a blind spot when it comes to Donald Trump’s shortcomings, so I’ll spell it out for you… He’d be blown out of the water on almost every category.I mean, we don’t even have to get into the shady mob ties or financial issues or foreign entanglements or rampant sexual misconduct…does that long list of fines he paid for violations of criminal and civil law suggest he’s someone with the requisite moral character to be trusted with national secrets?Do you think the people who grant security clearances would roll the dice with someone like this?…would you want them to??Footnotes[1] Just What Were Donald Trump's Ties to the Mob?

Even if his application somehow weren’t rejected just based on the first 5% of this, the sheer volume of information is so overwhelming that the background check wouldn’t even be completed.Also, this is just based on open source information. An actual background check involves full field investigation— reviews of every database, interviews with friends, family, business associates, neighbors, litigants, ex-wives, etc.And remember, security clearances are not decided on the same standard as criminal law and incarceration. In other words, he doesn’t have to be convicted in a court of law, there’s no “innocent until proven guilty” or “beyond a reasonable doubt” standard; suspicion is more than enough reason to be denied a security clearance. Furthermore, not every valid reason to deny a clearance is a crime. In fact, most are not (affairs, debt, alcoholism, shady friends, foreign ties, etc.)Below are the ten most common reasons people get denied clearance.[134] I’ve put the ones he might have problems with in bold:Financial ConsiderationsPersonal ConductDrug Involvement (though he did vouch for a convicted drug trafficker)Foreign InfluenceCriminal ConductAlcohol ConsumptionForeign PreferenceHandling Protected InformationUse of IT Systems (perhaps I should bold this for his heavy social media use and refusal to use a secure phone?)Sexual BehaviorA writer is supposed to show, not tell, but I know some people have a bit of a blind spot when it comes to Donald Trump’s shortcomings, so I’ll spell it out for you… He’d be blown out of the water on almost every category.I mean, we don’t even have to get into the shady mob ties or financial issues or foreign entanglements or rampant sexual misconduct…does that long list of fines he paid for violations of criminal and civil law suggest he’s someone with the requisite moral character to be trusted with national secrets?Do you think the people who grant security clearances would roll the dice with someone like this?…would you want them to??Footnotes[1] Just What Were Donald Trump's Ties to the Mob?[2] Trump ties to mobster, racist casino policies alleged in new report - Philly[3] Yes, Donald Trump has been linked to the mob[4] The truth about Donald Trump and his links to the mob[5] A Brief History of Donald Trump and the Mafia[6] Trump's bid for Sydney casino 30 years ago rejected due to 'mafia connections’[7] American banks don't support Trump — voters soon won't either[8] Donald Trump's six bankruptcies, detailed[9] Trump's latest financial disclosure shows he owes lenders at least $315 million[10] Third lien on Trump hotel brings alleged unpaid bills to over $5 million[11] Donald Trump And The Felon: Inside His Business Dealings With A Mob-Connected Hustler[12] The Drug Trafficker Donald Trump Risked His Casino Empire to Protect[13] https://books.google.com/books?i...[14] Trump Vouched For Cocaine Trafficker[15] Trump pal busted for allegedly running hooker ring on yacht[16] Trump’s Former Business Partner Tries to Erase his Prostitution Bust From Web[17] Ex-Council President, Andrew Stein, Avoids Prison on Tax Evasion[18] Michael Flynn Pleads Guilty to Lying to the F.B.I. and Will Cooperate With Russia Inquiry[19] Paul Manafort charged with conspiracy against the U.S.[20] https://www.washingtonpost.com/w...[21] Mueller files new charges against Manafort, Gates[22] Gates cuts a deal, and Manafort hit with new charges in Mueller probe[23] Read the FBI indictment against Paul Manafort and Rick Gates[24] Mueller files new charges against Manafort, Gates[25] Former Trump campaign aide George Papadopoulos pleads guilty to lying to the FBI agents in Mueller probe[26] The Company Michael Cohen Kept — “Trump, Inc.” Podcast — ProPublica[27] https://www.washingtonpost.com/p...[28] FinCEN Fines Trump Taj Mahal Casino Resort $10 Million for Significant and Long Standing Anti-Money Laundering Violations[29] Trump Taj Mahal casino settles U.S. money laundering claims[30] Trump’s Russian Laundromat[31] Trump building in Panama tied to Russian mafia, international crime: report[32] Sales of Trump properties suggestive of money-laundering: researcher[33] Narco-a-lago: Money Laundering at the Trump Ocean Club, Panama | Global Witness[34] Speier alleges evidence of Trump Organization money laundering[35] Over 20 percent of Trump condos sold in America have the characteristics of possible money laundering[36] Donald Trump and the mansion that no one wanted.

When the New York State Commission on Government Integrity questioned him, he claimed he thought everyone knew the 18 companies were his, that he was just following lawyer advice, and that the loan was going to be paid back.[80][81][82][83]His foundation admitted to illegal “self-dealing” and is under investigation by the State of New York[84](and possibly the IRS, but they can’t say if they’re investigating)Apparently violated the Cuba embargo[85]Caught colluding in a tax evasion scam in 1986, testified against others so he wouldn’t be prosecuted[86]Paid a $250,000 fine after an investigation uncovered how he secretly ran an “ad campaign insinuating that an American Indian tribe threatening his casinos had ties to drugs and the Mafia.”[87]Violated the Fair Housing Act[88]Received an illegal loan worth millions of dollars, in violation of gaming laws[89]Violated anti-discrimination laws, fined $200,000 by the New Jersey Casino Control Commission.

Ego is one of the four main methods foreign intelligence agencies use to get information from people.Up to 22 sexual assault allegations and/or other sexual misconduct, spanning four decades[103][104][105][106] How many people with Top Secret clearance have their own Wikipedia page full of sexual misconduct allegations?[107] In addition to the nearly two dozen women who have made allegations against him, there are recordings of Trump essentially admitting this behavior, corroborating some of the allegations himself:In a 2005 recording, Trump bragged in a radio interview about his practice of walking in on women and girls undressing at beauty pageants he owned, under the guise of “inspecting” it. “No men are anywhere, and I’m allowed to go in, because I’m the owner of the pageant.” By “allowed,” he apparently meant no one stopped him. Reveling in what he could “get away with,” his bragging left no ambiguity about his purpose: “You know, they're standing there with no clothes… And you see these incredible looking women, and so, I sort of get away with things like that.” His admission corroborates allegations made by some of the women he did this to, including five then-teenaged girls who competed in the 1997 Miss Teen USA pageant, some as young as 15. [108][109][110][111][112][113][114][115]In a separate 2005 incident, Trump was recorded saying he feels his celebrity allows him to assault women, specifically to kiss them (“I just start kissing them...I don't even wait...") or “grab” their genitalia, without their consent.[116][117][118][119][120] While Trump tried to downplay the remarks, he did admit to saying them and offered a rare apology.[121] In sworn testimony before Congress, Trump’s own appointee for Attorney General confirmed that the actions Trump described would “clearly” constitute sexual assault.[122]Compulsive lying[123][124][125][126][127][128][129][130][131][132][133]One of the most common reasons for rejection is dishonesty in the application process, or a failure to accurately disclose relevant information on the 100+ page security clearance application form called the SF-86. Odds are Trump would fudge the truth somewhere.Believe it or not, this isn’t even everything, I just got bored with the project.Any one of these many issues would potentially be enough to sink his chances on their own, but all of them? Come on. Even if his application somehow weren’t rejected just based on the first 5% of this, the sheer volume of information is so overwhelming that the background check wouldn’t even be completed.Also, this is just based on open source information.
