That makes no sense. "Commander in chief" only appears in one sentence in the constitution, where it says "The President shall be the Commander in Chief ..."
If Trump is President, he's also commander in chief. If he isn't president, he's not. It's really simple, unless we've left the constitution entirely. Which could be the case: plenty of theories about that already.
