Former president Donald Trump on Monday, January 25, established an official post-presidency office in Palm Beach County, Florida, setting up a vehicle for future public appearances and statements.

According to the press release from the office, "The Office of the Former President" will manage Trump's correspondence, public statements, appearance and official activities. "President Trump will always and forever be a champion for the American People," the release said.

Many previous presidents of the United States have post-presidency offices, including George W Bush, Barack Obama and Bill Clinton. None of them have used the title of “former president” to name their offices because the phrase is not exclusive to their presidency, the same way it is not exclusive to Trump’s. Instead, they simply used their names for their office title.
