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?

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.

When people say "no pun intended", I like to say "none taken".
