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?

    I don’t think Trump is the first to run for president after being voted out.

    Not running for a lesser office is way more the “unwritten rule”.

        Grover Cleveland did just that, he’s the only US President to serve two nonconsecutive terms.

        The ideal president in American culture does what George Washington did, serve two terms then retire. Being a one term president is seen as a failure and a rejection of their policies, so relection is unlikely
