"Clearance" is different for presidents than other folks
Folks who are given clearance need to get "read in." They had learn the requirements and sign legal documents. If they leave that job they need to be "read out." When you are "read out." you sign more legal documents including saying you have no classified documents in your possession.
This doesn't happen for the president. Presidents, while they are president, just get automatic access and classification authority. They don't sign formal clearance papers, they just have it.
One former intel officer who was involved in briefing the Presidential Daily Brief to the Attorney General put it this way.
There’s a myth out there that presidents have a formal security clearance. They don’t.
What President's do get and it's a courtesy, not a legal requirement, is intelligence briefings
Biden was asked if Trump should get these briefings and Biden said I think not.
