Ivanka and Jared decided to move to Miami and leave their roles in the White House. 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 been the one who has stayed by his father’s side the most.
Donald Trump, who is 46 years old, has gained influence in politics and wealth by promoting the Make America Great Again movement that his father began. He owns various businesses that cater to conservatives, such as a publishing company and a lucrative podcasting contract. Forbes has calculated that Mr. Trump’s net worth, which has largely increased since his father’s presidency ended on January 6, 2021, is approximately $50 million.
His associates believe he will not be joining the administration for this reason. He is aware of the challenges faced by his siblings and other officials who tried to control access to his father. Serving as a gatekeeper for his father is seen as a risky move in politics.
Recently, as the incoming president works on forming his administration, his son has taken on the role of assessing loyalty. While the president-elect is mainly concerned with appearances and messaging when reviewing candidates at Mar-a-Lago in Florida, his son is more focused on determining if they are genuine in their intentions and if they pose a risk to the MAGA agenda.
