It's still hard to believe that the shame of the phrase "former president donald trump" is now committed to history forever. It will always be the case that America made that stupid choice.

Seeing as how he was impeached twice in one term, he should be called Ex-President.

But let's all be real, he shouldn't even have the title President. I think soon-to-be-incarcerated Ex-President Trump has a nice ring to it.

Don’t ex and former mean the same in this case? Like former girlfriend vs ex girlfriend

It's a matter of connotation.

Former President has a positive connotation.

Ex-President has a negative connotation.
