Removing the actual clearance is a statement of lack of trust/credibility/reliability - taking actions that would prevent one from getting the clearance in the first place...all these folks qualify as being ineligible to maintain a clearance and Trump's actions make it so an outside "contractor" agency can't reactivate the clearances/access to classified material w/o a full-blown new investigation.
