Writing from the nation

Ivanka and Jared decided to move from the White House to Miami. Eric is now 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 been the one who has remained closest to his father throughout his presidency.

Donald Trump, who is 46 years old, has gained influence in politics and wealth by promoting the Make America Great Again movement that was originally started by his father. He owns several businesses that cater to conservative audiences, such as a publishing company and a lucrative podcasting contract. Forbes has estimated Trump’s net worth to be approximately $50 million, mostly accumulated after his father’s political career following January 6, 2021.

His colleagues believe that he will not be joining the administration because of this. However, he is aware of the challenges faced by his siblings and some officials who tried to control access to his father, which turned out to be very risky politically.

Lately, as the incoming president puts together his team, his son has been playing the role of assessing loyalty. While the president-elect considers candidates based on their appearance and communication skills during meetings at Mar-a-Lago in Florida, his son is more interested in determining if they are genuine in their beliefs and if they pose a risk to the values of the MAGA movement.
