Ivanka and Jared decided to move to Miami instead of staying at the White House. Eric is now in charge of the family business. Tiffany recently got married. Barron is studying to become a strategist at NYU.
Out of all of Donald Trump’s children, Donald Jr. has been the one who has remained the closest to his father.
Donald Trump, who is 46 years old, has gained influence in politics and wealth by continuing the Make America Great Again movement that his father began. He owns several businesses geared towards conservatives, including a publishing company and a lucrative podcasting agreement. Forbes calculated his net worth to be approximately $50 million, mostly accumulated after his father’s political career following January 6, 2021.
His colleagues believe that he will not be joining the administration for this reason. However, he is aware of the challenges faced by his siblings and other first-term officials when attempting to control access to his father. Serving as a gatekeeper for his father comes with political risks.
Lately, as the incoming president works on forming his administration, his son has been acting as a sort of loyalty evaluator. While they assess potential candidates at Mar-a-Lago in Florida, the president-elect is interested in appearance and communication skills, according to sources. On the other hand, his son is more concerned with the sincerity of the candidates’ words and whether they pose a risk to the MAGA agenda.
