Tradition sucks sometimes. That's why they and he are able to get away with it. That said courts are considered formal places so no one in court, and no reporter when reporting about his court matters, should use president when referring to him. Though i guess in the media is not considered a formal place.

Formally Addressing the Former President

When addressing a former President of the United States in a formal setting, the correct form is “Mr. LastName.” (“President LastName” or “Mr. President” are terms reserved for the current head of state.) This is true for other ex-officials, as well. When talking about the person to a third party, on the other hand, it’s appropriate to say, “former President LastName.” This holds for introductions, as well: A current state governor is introduced as “Governor Tom Smith,” while you’d introduce an ex-governor as “former Governor Jim Bell.”

Informally Addressing the Former President

Now, let’s look a little closer. In an informal setting (such as a private lunch), it’s acceptable to use the title the ex-official held. Here, you could refer to former President Jimmy Carter as either “President Carter” or “Mr. Carter.” In reality, many people ignore this convention and refer to former Presidents as "President Last Name" when they are in settings where nearly everyone would afford them the honor of the title. Technically, this is still incorrect but there are enough former Presidents allowing this that it has become a somewhat common mistake.

"...but I really really want ALL judges to lay down the law with ALL defense assholes to stop saying and writing 'President' fuckface. He is not any president politically,
he has no rights to that title publicly or privately. If anything it's ex-pres. None of the scenarios he appears in allows him to use that title like he does and they do."

Agree. He gained the office by lying his way to the top, and abused it while there, so is the last one to deserve being called anything other than asshole.
