That's not even a requirement for Top Secret security clearances*

Not supposed to be for the higher TS/SCI, either, but ....

For the highest level (with or without poly), dual citizenship can be an issue, as can be family ties to the country of birth by the applicant or immediate family. I remember a colleague who almost got denied because his wife was born in China.

And that was for a natural-born citizen. If they are casting about for ties to foreign nationals, you can have those as a US citizen regardless of how you became a citizen.

side note: If Trump were an appointee and not an elected official

There's zero chance he could get top level security clearance.

You don't have to be born in USA to be President, technically*
