How do we prevent someone like Trump from becoming president?

[Le Roi de Pot]

I am shocked that some who could not pass the basic security clearance - will be allowed not just the top secret info -- but THE most sensitive information among everything that is classified as TOP SECRET. He has knowledge of all procedures and as a guest on MSNBC said - will be a security risk to USA even if he loses the election.

Russia or China would love to know about the bunker in the whitehouse.


I BET that many of the procedures and protocols will need to be reengineered based on the assumption that Donald will spill it to the highest bidder.

But back to the question .. I think all candidates for POTUS should be assesse for security risk (a process overseen by a bipartisan committee to ensure no hanky panky) .. The details need not be make public - but the candidate needs to have a Green Light. If this runs into a constitutional challenge - the test can be made voluntary and public can use that information as needed.

1. Any information that would be required to pass a security clearance should be required to be

publicly disclosed before you can run for the office.

2. I think there will be a lot of new laws past to address this.

The Trump Act will probably encompass a lot of reform and checks/balances that have come to light since this fake President was "elected".

3. We didn't elect tRUMP in 2016 but he and his supporters won the ratfucking. Our system of

government has worked fairly successfully given everything that was stacked against it. It's up to
us to be more vigilant and aware in the future.
