Yup. The title is for life. We also refer to dead presidents with the title as well, such as President Washington or President Lincoln. It’s out of respect for the office. To disambiguate, we use “former,” so “former President Trump” is the correct term to use in an election season.
I guess it would be like referring to dead royalty by their highest title held, like Queen Elizabeth II, King Henry VIII, etc.
Traditionally, ex US presidents are often referred to as “President <LastName>”. It’s not an official title, but informal use is widespread.
Oh i see, thats across the pond confusion then thanks for clearing that up 👍
