President Donald Trump says he’s revoking former President Joe Biden’s security clearance and ending the daily intelligence briefings he’s receiving in payback for Biden doing the same to him in 2021.
They do it so the current president can ask them questions on stuff that would benefit from their knowledge. But Trump would clearly never do that, so this is pretty irrelevant.
Also, one of the ways you project soft power is to send former presidents on unofficial diplomatic missions. But Trump would also never do that and he has made it pretty clear that he’s no longer interested in the U.S. projecting soft power.
