Considering the OPM hack under the predecessor provided information on every person with a security clearance, I don't think it is quite fair to blame one as this sadly seems to be par for the course. I'm sure the incoming octogenarian will understand the series of tubes better...
Good to know the buck doesn't stop at the presidency anymore. Guess it's just a free for all.
