No politics inteded: Why isn't Trump after leaving office in any way or shape involved in politics say as member of congress or senate?

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?

Can you give an example?

No, they cannot.

I didn't really expect them to answer. 90% of the time you just get to watch them scuttle off to hide, like cockroaches from the light. 9% of the time you get soundbite diarrhea, which is easy to debunk.

The last 1% can be interesting however. A well thought out counter argument to something I believe. It is a good check, to make sure I'm not the one in the bubble. It also lets me understand those on the other side of a debate. It's reached the point where 1% is being generous, however.

I heard they found illegally downloaded Metallica songs on Hunter's laptop!!! Checkmate, libtards!

And here we run into Poe's law ☚ī¸. I'm hoping you dropped this --> /s
