Updating from the capital
Ivanka and Jared decided to move from the White House to Miami. 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 Trump’s children, Donald Jr. has remained the closest to his father throughout the president-elect’s term.
Donald Trump, who is 46 years old, has gained influence in politics and wealth by promoting the Make America Great Again movement that his father began. He has various businesses that cater to conservative audiences, such as a publishing company and a lucrative podcasting contract. According to Forbes, Trump’s net worth is approximately $50 million, mostly accumulated following his father’s political career after January 6, 2021.
Due to this, his colleagues state that he has no intention of becoming a part of the administration. However, he is aware of the difficulties his siblings and some newly appointed officials faced when attempting to control access to his father, which proved to be a risky political decision.
Lately, while the incoming president is putting together his team, his son has been acting as a judge of loyalty. While they assess potential candidates at Mar-a-Lago in Florida, the president-elect is interested in their appearance and ability to communicate effectively, according to those close to them. Meanwhile, his son is more concerned with whether their words align with their actions and if they pose a danger to the principles of the MAGA movement.
