Where I grew up we call that hypocrisy.
Every administration has experienced people people with expertise that apply and are not approved for clearance that the president grants approval for.

The difference with Trump is:

1) The applicants denied have no experience

2) The applicants denied are family members

3) One applicant (that we know of so far) lied & omitted contacts & business with adversaries like russia, which is a felony.
