“Former” Presidents are never referred as former President.

No, he said none of that, nor could he have. He just mumbled a few predictable bits of pablum, while looking like a corpse in makeup.

Barack Obama is always referred to as former President Obama, or by name only. Same with George W Bush, Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter.

Obama was insulting Trump.

All president s are referred to as president.

No formers.

How often has Trump referred to Biden as President Biden?

Biden did NOT say ‘Former President Trump”- He called him “Donald”

Also, the fact that Obama acknowledged something happened before the White House even did

Whatever else Obama is, he's not senile and slow-witted.

"Personally, I thought his response was well written and acknowledged certain key fax about the event...Also, the fact that Obama acknowledged something happened before the White House even did"

Yeah, almost like it was written before hand...

RE: I thought former Presidents are still referred to as President.

But the media started the trend of calling GW Bush “Mister Bush.”

Once again, Obama states that he doesn’t have all the facts, “but the Cambridge police acted stupidly.”

He probably had his response written and ready to go for whenever his people got around to assassinating Trump.

“unhinged people to act”

Who says the shooter was unhinged.

Maybe he was on assignment.

How did he get on a roof top with a rifle while being pointed out for several minutes. That’s really convenient.

Obama doesn’t have all the facts as in, “how the fk did he miss?”.

You are correct. All government officials are addressed by the highest last office they held.

It is appropriate to refer to President Trump as just that.

“ “Former” Presidents are never referred as former President.”

That too has been fundamentally changed.
