Writing from the nation
Ivanka and Jared decided to move away from the White House and start a new life in Miami. Eric is now in charge of running the family business. Tiffany recently got married. Barron is currently studying and gaining experience as a strategist at NYU
Out of all of Trump’s children, Donald Jr. has been the one who has stayed by his father’s side the most. He is the oldest son of the president-elect.
At 46 years old, Donald Trump has gained influence in politics and wealth by promoting the Make America Great Again movement that his father began. He owns several businesses catered towards conservatives, including a publishing company and a lucrative podcasting contract. Forbes estimated his net worth to be approximately $50 million, largely accumulated after his father’s political career ended on January 6, 2021.
Because of this, his colleagues have stated that 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 who have tried to control access to his father, which can be risky politically.
Lately, as the incoming president sets up his team, his son has been acting as a sort of loyalty assessor. While evaluating 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 intentions and whether they pose a risk to the MAGA agenda.
