Though JD Vance posted a photo of the former president and Melania dining with him and wife Usha privately on Friday, social media users speculated that Trump is hiding from the public over rumors of failing health.

CNN getting a little too hopeful there, calling Trump the former president.

The orange moron was the president of the United States. Still is, unfortunately. But he was, also.

"Former President" means no longer president. It's not like the Mitch Hedberg joke "I used to do drugs. I still do, but I used to too." He still is president, unfortunately, so he isn't a former president, yet.

He was a former president for four years, but isn't anymore, so I guess he's a former former president?
