Hey somehow the USA thought the term president was for life. Every ex one is still addressed as such.

They obviously didn't foresee a curmudgeon like trump becoming president and smearing the office with the never dying crud and stench of corruption and ball sweat, but it's still how is supposed to be done...

I tried to find a source on this because it's pretty disrespectful sounding but apparently it's complete hearsay.
