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?

Trump actually promised to leave us alone if he lost. He also suggested that he'd move to a foreign country.

"If I lose to [Biden], I don't know what I'm going to do. I will never speak to you again," Trump told supporters at a rally in North Carolina.

Trump made similar remarks in 2016 when he rivaled Hillary Clinton for the presidency: "I don't think I'm going to lose, but if I do, I don't think you're ever going to see me again, folks," Trump said. "I think I'll go to Turnberry and play golf or something."

If you never admit you lost, did you really? (Yes)
