Updating from the capital
Ivanka and Jared decided to move away from the White House and start a new life in Miami. Eric is currently managing 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 stayed by his father’s side the most.
At 46 years old, Mr. Trump has gained influence in politics and amassed wealth by promoting the Make America Great Again movement that his father initiated. He owns various businesses that cater to conservative audiences, such as a publishing company and a lucrative podcasting agreement. Forbes approximated Mr. Trump’s net worth to be approximately $50 million, mostly accumulated after his father’s political tenure following January 6, 2021.
His colleagues believe that he has no intention of becoming part of the administration. However, he is aware of the challenges faced by his siblings and other officials who attempted to control access to his father. Serving as a gatekeeper for his father can be risky in the political arena.
Recently, as the new president is putting together his team, his son has been acting as a sort of loyalty detector. While the president-elect is focused on appearance and messaging when reviewing potential candidates at Mar-a-Lago in Florida, his son is more concerned with their sincerity and whether they could pose a threat to the MAGA agenda.
