Ivanka and Jared decided to move to Miami and leave their roles in the White House. Eric is now in charge of the family business. Tiffany tied the knot. Barron is studying to become a strategist at NYU.
Out of all of Donald 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 both political influence and wealth by promoting the Make America Great Again movement that was initiated by his father. He owns a variety of businesses that cater to conservative audiences, such as a publishing company and a lucrative podcasting contract. According to Forbes, Trump’s net worth, which has mostly grown since his father’s political career after January 6, 2021, is estimated to be approximately $50 million.
Because of this, people close to him say that he doesn’t have any intention of becoming 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 can be risky from a political perspective.
Lately, as the incoming president works on forming his administration, his son has been acting as a sort of loyalty tester. While they consider potential candidates at Mar-a-Lago in Florida, the president-elect is interested in appearance and communication skills, according to sources. His son, on the other hand, is more concerned with the sincerity of their intentions and whether they align with the values of the MAGA movement.
