Out of all of Donald Trump’s children, Donald Jr. has been the one who has remained by his father’s side the most.
At 46 years old, Donald Trump has gained influence in politics and accumulated wealth by promoting the Make America Great Again movement that his father initially began. He owns various businesses geared towards conservatives, such as a publishing company and a lucrative podcasting agreement. Forbes has estimated Trump’s net worth to be approximately $50 million, mostly acquired following his father’s political career after January 6, 2021.
Because of this, his colleagues believe that he does not intend to become a part of the administration. However, he is aware of the challenges faced by his siblings and other officials in their first term when attempting to control access to his father, which proved to be risky from a political standpoint.
Recently, as the incoming president puts together his team, his son has been acting as a gauge of loyalty. While the president-elect is primarily interested in appearances and communication skills when evaluating potential candidates at Mar-a-Lago, his son is more concerned with their sincerity and whether they align with the values of the MAGA movement.
