Trump announces forming "The Office of the Former President"

I’m guessing that’s the closest he will come to a concession, notwithstanding that “The Office of the Former President” isn’t an actual thing and if it was Jimmy Carter would have seniority.

THE former president?

There are four other former presidents, so Trump isn’t THE former president. He is A former president, and one who worked less at the job in 4 years than the others did in their first month in office.

My first thought was "Aren't there 5 of those already?"
I'm pretty sure those 5 have offices managing their activities and communications.
So, there's nothing that unique here.
I wonder if they think this a Twitter end run.

just tried to purchase the website. Missed it by an hour. Dam.

Would have put Obama pic on it. Just a tad too late.

He's been too busy building houses for the poor, finding cures for debilitating tropical diseases, establishing a solar farm on his land, operating a think tank for international conflict resolution, sending teams to support and oversee fair elections worldwide, supporting his wife's pioneering mental health initiatives, teaching adult Sunday School classes at his home church in Georgia, experimentally planting sustainable forest species on his land, doing some woodworking projects to donate to fundraisers for non-profits, and more.
