Because he didn't care

He has no power once he's outside of his realm.

what are the borders of his realm? what's his visa policy?

Tom Bombadil is outside of the struggle for power. He neither craves it nor dislikes it. It's not on his radar whatsoever. The One Ring is power incarnate. It cannot effect Tom and he cannot effect it. It was suggested that they perhaps just LEAVE the One Ring with Tom since the Old Forest is so well guarded by him but it was reasoned Tom wouldn't understand why it was so important and would likely forget about it and leave it somewhere.

>Based Tom
>Giving a Fuck
They literally explain this in the council of elrond where they say he'd just get high and forget what the fuck he was supposed to be doing.
He was Eru's underachieving older brother and their parent's made Eru give him a job.
He just hangs out in the woods and fucks a river.

Elrond said that Tom Bombadil is saw the first trees grow or something, while Gandalf said that Fangorn was the oldest living creature still alive. Does that mean Elrond was mistaken or is Tom not alive?

Tom Bombadil, Tom Bombadil-o, gives no shits about red and blue pill-o
Hit your pipe and call him a cuck, ol' merry Tom don't give no fuck
Politics you say affect great and small, but ol' jolly Tom's just having a ball

He's a fat retard.
If Sauron won would Tom even care? As the forest burns down around him?

Angels and their equivalents aren't usually considered among standard living creatures as they are beyond life or death. In LoTR mythos all of the more powerful beings from the wizards (Maiar) up to the gods (Valar) are different types of angels and devils. Tolkien was a really devout christian so even in his fantasy world where there are multiple gods, there is still only one actual God (Eru) above them. Thus all of those powerful beings with more magical powers, are basically just angels. Tom is basically like the wizards in being a lesser angel of sorts, but Tolkien intentionally left what his true nature was vague. Also Elrond could just be using a turn of phrase to say that Tom is just really damn old.

Because he exists as a inside joke between JRR and his children. One that he told them as a bedtime story and birthed the Hobbit.

Tom would just bogpill Sauron and thus preserve his forest.
Oliver Myers
he doesnt leave the shire, put it that way, he escorts the Hobbits to the border before Bree ans thats it

The one ring is a very powerful item, but remember some tier 4 characters defeated sauron and then isildur cut the ring from his corpse. There are several dozen characters just jacking off in the west who could push saurons shit in on a lunch brake, not to mention the dozen dead people like Feanor, or Ungoliant.
Lets not exaggerate its importance or power. Really the point of the one ring, and Sauron is its the last thing that God needs cleaned up to unfuck Morgoths shenanigans, and return to a happy world.

IT LITERALLY EXPLAINS IN THE BOOK WHY

Tom actually is nothing he was just a shoehorned cameo for his kids and theres no need to think of it any deeper than that
Adrian Murphy

Jayden Bennett
Not true. Check out the primal hold he has over Sauron.
Jack Russell
Despite his mastery within his realm, it was assumed that Tom would not have cared or been able to keep the Ring contained to his realm.
Mordor wasn't in his realm idiot.
