Updating from the capital
Ivanka and Jared chose to move to Miami instead of staying in the White House. 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 shown the most loyalty and support to his father, the president-elect.
At 46 years old, Donald Trump has gained both political influence and wealth by promoting the Make America Great Again movement his father began. He owns various businesses catering to conservative audiences, such as a publishing company and a lucrative podcasting contract. According to Forbes, Trump’s net worth is approximately $50 million, largely accumulated following his father’s political career after January 6, 2021.
His colleagues mention that he has no intention of becoming part of the administration for this reason. However, he is aware of the challenges faced by his siblings and some new administration officials when they tried to control access to his father, which turned out to be risky from a political standpoint.
Lately, as the incoming president puts together his administration, his son has been acting as a judge of loyalty. While evaluating potential candidates at Mar-a-Lago in Florida, the president-elect is interested in appearance and communication skills, according to sources. On the other hand, his son is more concerned with the sincerity of their words and whether they pose a threat to the MAGA movement.
