Writing from the nation
Ivanka and Jared decided to move to Miami and leave their roles in the White House. Eric is now in charge of managing the family business. Tiffany recently got married. Barron is currently studying strategic planning at NYU.
Out of all of Donald Trump’s children, Donald Jr. has been the most loyal and supportive of his father, the president-elect.
Donald Trump, who is 46 years old, has gained influence in politics and wealth by promoting the Make America Great Again movement, which was originally started by his father. He has a variety of businesses that cater to conservative audiences, including a publishing company and a lucrative podcasting contract worth seven figures annually. Forbes calculated Mr. Trump’s net worth to be approximately $50 million, primarily accumulated following his father’s political career after January 6, 2021.
According to his colleagues, 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 their first term when attempting to control access to his father. Serving as a gatekeeper for his father can be risky from a political standpoint.
Lately, as the incoming president is assembling his team, his son has been acting as a vetting tool for loyalty. While the president-elect prioritizes appearance and communication skills when evaluating candidates at Mar-a-Lago, his son is more concerned with their sincerity and potential impact on the MAGA movement.
