I know that after you leave office as POTUS it is some sort of unwritten rule that you withdraw from politics.

Why did Trump not withdraw?

Also why isn’t he a senator or congressman during Biden’s term?

    You can’t say “no politics intended” and then directly discuss politics. The answer will invariably include politics.

    Trump didn’t want to be a politician. He wanted to be president. Being a senator or congressman is a job, but being president is a mark of prestige. If he can become president again, he will, because it makes him look good. There’s no point for him in taking a lower position with less power.

      All excellent points except he has a real dire agenda if he is president again and it’s not just to make him look good.

      When people say “no pun intended,” it is always right after they’ve made a completely intentional pun.

      When a person says “no offense [intended], but,” it is always right before they say something intentionally offensive.

      What I’m saying is that maybe this grammar “no X intended” doesn’t actually mean that literally they don’t intend X, but instead that they want to lessen their culpability for exactly intending X.

      Are you looking at this picture, reading this post and then attempting to seriously debate the author on the merits of their argument of no-politics “inteded”?
