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 Donald Trump’s children, Donald Jr. has remained the closest to his father. He is the oldest son of the president-elect.
At the age of 46, Donald Trump Jr. has gained influence in politics and accumulated wealth by promoting the Make America Great Again movement that his father began. He owns several conservative-oriented businesses, including a publishing company and a lucrative podcasting agreement. According to Forbes, Mr. Trump’s net worth, which has mostly grown since his father’s political career post-January 6, 2021, is approximately $50 million.
Because of this, his colleagues believe he will not be joining the administration. However, he is aware of the challenges that his siblings and some new administration officials faced when trying to control access to his father. Serving as a gatekeeper for his father is seen as a risky political move.
Over the past few weeks, the incoming president has been expanding his team, and his son has been acting as a judge of loyalty. While the president-elect is primarily interested in appearances and communication skills when evaluating candidates at Mar-a-Lago, his son is more concerned with assessing their sincerity and potential impact on the "Make America Great Again" agenda.
