People work inside the TikTok Inc. building in Culver City, Calif., Monday, March 11, 2024. House Republicans are moving ahead with a bill that would require Chinese company ByteDance to sell TikTok or face a ban in the United States even as President Donald Trump is voicing opposition to the effort.

Former President... emphasis on former. As a candidate, his opinion shouldn't carry anymore weight than any other citizen.
86I was told that it was convention to use the highest government title that a person received once they leave government. Personally, I don't think that explanation holds much water. We don't really hear, for example of President Obama any more. Nor do we hear Secretary of State Clinton. On a practical matter, it can cause confusion so outside propaganda, I don't see much utility in it.

I have heard of that convention, but only in formal address (not in journalism or casual conversation). I don't know if it's official protocol anywhere or just an urban legend.
In this context, I think it's important to realize that he is not the president, that he was impeached twice, and that he is a convicted felon. His opinion does not and should not be given the same weight as that of The President of the United States.
Also, I don't see any reference to him at all in the article. It looks like OP is editorializing.
15There is a title he currently holds, and which deserves a higher rank by mere exclusivity's sake...
Impeached Former President

I see where you’re coming from but in the US, when you’re president you hold the title forever. I wouldn’t call Obama “former president”, he still holds the president title.

I am all for a crackdown on social media, but please apply the same level of scrutiny of all social media, including Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram, X, Reddit, etc.
32The hell is that summary, AI-generated? Why yes, people DO work inside the TikToc building.
Talk about burying the lede, by not elaborating on that title, like the article does. "Stripping" does not mean that teenagers are being "stripped" from the platform, or from feeds, like I figured. It literally means that THEY are stripping. OnlyFans style. For gifts. Jesus fuck.
43RE: your first thought, I think that sentence was meant to be a caption for the picture or alternate text.
9Of course Trump opposes it, he's all for stripping teens..
3You must be very naive
