It's not his title at all, but he requires his toadies to call him such. Former president's are usually referred to as Mr. As in Mr. Obama.

This is how it should be. “President” is a job title not a royal title. No one should called “President” that isn’t serving in that role.
Unfortunately, people have been using it beyond their terms and the press goes along with it.
Actually, when kings/queens abdicate they usually lose the title king/queen. These titles are then re bestowed upon death. Would of course be ridiculous to have two living kings at the same time (similar to presidents).
For politicians they usually you the term previous or past to indicate they are no longer in power. So Trump would be past president or PP. since he was only in power for one term, you might want to add the adjective small, such that Trump’s full title becomes small PP.
Far be it from me to argue with the Emily Post institute, but I've heard former Presidents referred to as "President $NAME" my whole life....
Not once in my 40+ years have I heard a former President be referred to as "President X". It's always Mr. or former President unless we're talking historical text book at that time period when they were President.
Just Goolge Jimmy Carter or Bill Clinton and and current news say Mr. or former President. Trump's ego demands his sycophants call him President Trump because "he never lost the election".

They are always addressed as "Mr.", but whether they continue to be referred to with the title of President is up to the individual style guide.
Not disagreeing but I've never heard Former President Carter referred to as Mr.
