Updating from the capital
Ivanka and Jared decided to move to Miami and leave 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 Trump’s children, Donald Jr. has been the one who has stayed by his father’s side the most.
At the age of 46, Mr. Trump has gained influence in politics and wealth by promoting the Make America Great Again movement that his father began. He owns several businesses that cater to conservative audiences, including a publishing company and a lucrative podcasting deal. Forbes calculated Mr. Trump’s net worth to be approximately $50 million, mostly accumulated after his father’s political career following January 6, 2021.
Because of this, his colleagues believe that he has no intention of becoming a part of the administration. However, he is aware of the challenges faced by his siblings and some officials in the first term who tried to control access to his father, which proved to be politically risky.
Lately, the president-elect’s son has been acting as a sort of loyalty detector as his father assembles his administration. While the president-elect prioritizes appearance and communication skills when evaluating candidates at Mar-a-Lago in Florida, his son is more interested in their sincerity and potential impact on the MAGA movement.
