Art, meet life

 Some former presidents do stuff. It's not required, but the sense of duty that compelled them to run for president in the first place isn't an easy jones to shake.

And so Jimmy Carter takes a hammer and nails and builds houses.

And others launch charitable foundations of one description or another.

And then, of course, there's Donald J. Trump.

Who, when he's not whining about not being president anymore, reverts to being the empty-calorie celebrity he's always been, and which defined his presidency more than anything else.

He always wanted to be a TV star, and so for four years he got to be the biggest TV star there is. "The Apprentice" was nothing but a warmup act for "The President," the ultimate American reality show.

So now what's he doing?

Now the former President of the United States will be providing commentary on a "gamecast" of the Evander Holyfield-Vitor Belfort fight Saturday night -- a Triller production that's apparently some sort of Senior Tour deal, given that Holyfield is 58 and Belfort is 44.

Trump, meanwhile, once hosted a bunch of boxing matches in his Atlantic City casinos before they all went under. So he's got that going for him, expertise-wise.

And if you're wondering now why someone who once held the highest office in the land is providing commentary for some cheesy fight card ... well, again: He always wanted to be a TV celebrity. Also, life occasionally imitates art.

Which brings us to Mike Judge's film "Idiocracy" -- released in 2006 as satire but, like so much else since the TV celebrity was elected President in 2016, is now pretty much a documentary about an America gone insane.

See, in "Idiocracy," the President of the United States is a professional wrestler. You know who I'm talkin' about: President Dwayne Alozando Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho, played with over-the-top gusto by Terry Crews. 

Now an ex-President will be a commentator (and eager shill) for an event that might as well be professional wrestling.

President Camacho, meet former President Trump.

You guys hash out which of you is fiction.
