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 currently studying as 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, Donald Trump has gained influence in politics and accumulated wealth by continuing his father’s Make America Great Again movement. He owns several conservative businesses, including a publishing company and a lucrative podcasting deal. Forbes recently estimated his net worth to be approximately $50 million, largely attributed to his father’s political career after January 6, 2021.
Due to this, his colleagues mention that he has no intentions of becoming a part of the administration. However, he is aware of the challenges faced by his siblings and some officials in their first term, as they found out the difficult way that acting as a gatekeeper for his father comes with political risks.
In the past few weeks, as the incoming president puts together his team, his son has been acting as a sort of loyalty evaluator. While assessing potential candidates at Mar-a-Lago in Florida, the president-elect is interested in appearance and communication skills, according to sources. His son, on the other hand, is more concerned with whether the candidates are genuine in their intentions and if they could disrupt the current MAGA agenda.
