Out of all of Trump’s children, Donald Jr. has been the one who has remained closest to his father throughout his presidency.
At the age of 46, Donald Trump has gained influence in politics and wealth by promoting the Make America Great Again movement that was initiated by his father. He owns various businesses that cater to conservative audiences, including a publishing company and a lucrative podcasting agreement. According to Forbes, Trump’s net worth, which has mainly grown since his father’s political career after January 6, 2021, is approximately $50 million.
His associates believe that he will not be joining the administration for this reason. However, he is aware of the challenges faced by his siblings and some first-term administration officials who tried to control access to his father. This has shown him that being a gatekeeper for his father can be risky politically.
Lately, as the president-elect is putting together his administration, his son has been acting as a filter for loyalty. While the president-elect focuses on appearances and communication skills when reviewing candidates at Mar-a-Lago in Florida, his son is more concerned with their sincerity and potential impact on the MAGA agenda.
