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 currently studying to become a strategist at NYU.
Out of all of Trump’s children, Donald Jr. has been the one who has remained the closest to their father, the president-elect.
At 46 years old, Mr. Trump has gained influence in politics and amassed wealth by continuing the Make America Great Again movement initiated by his father. He owns various businesses catering to conservative audiences, such as a publishing company and a lucrative podcasting contract. Forbes approximated Mr. Trump’s net worth to be approximately $50 million, mostly accumulated following his father’s political career after January 6, 2021.
His colleagues believe he will not be joining the administration because of this. However, he is aware of the risks involved in trying to control access to his father, as his siblings and some administration officials discovered firsthand.
Lately, as the incoming president puts together his team, his son has been acting as a sort of loyalty evaluator. While evaluating potential candidates at Mar-a-Lago in Florida, the president-elect is interested in their appearance and communication skills, according to sources. His son, however, is more concerned with whether they are sincere in their intentions and if they pose a risk to the "Make America Great Again" agenda.
