Writing from the capital
Ivanka and Jared decided to move away from the White House and start a new life in 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 been the one who has stayed by his father’s side the most.
Donald Trump, who is 46 years old, has gained influence in politics and accumulated wealth by promoting the Make America Great Again movement that his father began. He owns various businesses catering to conservative audiences, such as a publishing company and a lucrative podcasting agreement. Forbes has estimated his net worth to be approximately $50 million, primarily acquired following his father’s political career after January 6, 2021.
His colleagues believe that he has no intention of becoming part of the administration for this reason. However, he is aware of the challenges faced by his siblings and other new administration members who tried to control access to his father. Serving as a gatekeeper for his father comes with political risks.
As the incoming president selects members for his administration, his son has been acting as a sort of loyalty evaluator. While the president-elect focuses on the appearance and communication skills of candidates during meetings at Mar-a-Lago in Florida, his son is more concerned with their sincerity and whether they align with the values of the MAGA movement.
