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 studying to become a strategist at NYU.
Out of all of Trump’s children, Donald Jr. has remained the closest to his father. He is the oldest son of the president-elect.
At 46 years old, Donald Trump has gained both influence in politics and wealth by promoting the Make America Great Again movement that his father initiated. He owns various businesses catering to conservative audiences, including a publishing company and a lucrative podcasting contract. Forbes has recently valued Mr. Trump’s wealth, primarily accumulated following his father’s political career after January 6, 2021, at approximately $50 million.
Due to this, his colleagues mention that he has no intention of becoming part of the administration. However, he is aware of the challenges that his siblings and some new administration officials faced when attempting to control access to his father, which proved to be a risky political endeavor.
Lately, as the incoming president establishes his team, his son has been acting as a loyalty evaluator. While assessing potential candidates at Mar-a-Lago in Florida, the president-elect prioritizes appearance and communication skills, according to sources. On the other hand, his son is more interested in determining the sincerity of their words and assessing if they pose a threat to the MAGA agenda.
