In informal settings, most former presidents are referred to as ‘President [whatever]’. It’s only in formal gatherings where it’s considered appropriate. Most view it as a courtesy. Though, it should be noted, all of one ex-president takes offense to being called “Former President”; and he’s the same dumbass that most everyone outside of his circles no longer allow that courtesy.
But if Trump is referred to as President Trump in legal filings, can’t Lake be referred to as Governor?
