Shouldn't they call "ex-president" or "former president"? There should be only one president at a time, the one in office.
Hi @SteelBird
I didn't make the rules. Even today on CNN. They interview Biden. And he was complaining that traditionally U.S. government still provide government information (including sensitive information) to 'ex-presidents'.
And all ex-presidents still get full protection. So I guess they are still president. But obviously they don't have the power of the incumbent president.
The year has taken its toll on poor Elton! Lol

Apparently, it's up to the media/person on how to address the ex-president. It's more respectful to address an ex-president as President so and so. But if you wish to be nasty, you could specifically address the ex-president as the "Ex-President" like CNN just did when referring to Trump.

Not all that funny and actually really sad. Don’t know where to put this.
