Ivanka and Jared decided to move away from the White House and start a new life in Miami. Eric is currently in charge of the family business. Tiffany recently got married. Barron is beginning his career as a strategist at NYU.
Out of all the children of Trump, Donald Jr. has been the one who has remained closest to his father, the incoming president.
At 46 years old, Mr. Trump has gained influence in politics and wealth by promoting the Make America Great Again movement founded by his father. He owns several conservative businesses, such as a publishing company and a lucrative podcasting contract. According to Forbes, his net worth, mostly accumulated after his father’s political career, is estimated to be around $50 million.
Because of this, people who know him say he does not intend to become part of the administration. However, he is aware of the challenges faced by his siblings and other new administration officials when they tried to control access to his father, which can be risky from a political standpoint.
Recently, as the future president selects members for his team, his son has been acting as a sort of loyalty evaluator. While they assess potential candidates at Mar-a-Lago in Florida, the future president is mainly interested in appearance and communication skills, according to those close to them. On the other hand, his son is more concerned with assessing the sincerity of the candidates and whether they pose a risk to the MAGA movement.
