I just realized that a distinction wasn't made between current and former politicians. Once a politician always a politician?

Everything is amendable with what the community wants. For me, Jimmy Carter will always be a politician even if the image is of him doing Habitat for Humanity, Boris Johnson will always be a politician even if he is ice skating. Same with trump, putin, Zelensky, Trudeau, Thatcher, etc.

What about Arnold Schwarzenegger, former governor of California?! 🙀

I'd propose that Arnie the actor is allowed, but pictures of him in office aren't, please!

That's a tough one, to me Arnold will always be an actor, but I also never lived in Cali.
