Interestingly, it’s a permanent title.
I never use it for pedophile rapist cowards though.
Just call him the Pedo President, that's how I've been referring to on his truth social posts.
It's the CRAP President loophole (coward, rapist, and Pedophile)
Seems kind of odd to me.
As far as I'm concerned, as soon as you're out of office, you are a civilian. You took on a temporary job, and now it's over. Like a group project or task force. You're now mostly irrelevant unless you happen to be running again. At best you might have some insight to give.
In the UK at least, once you stop being Prime Minister you are basically completely irrelevant. Everyone ignores you and you are spoken about in the past tense, if at all.
At least, that's my impression.
Kings and Queens are all addressed as such even hundreds of years after their deaths.
I feel like that's even more of a reason not to follow that pattern. Those were unelected rulers for life (typically).
