Writing from the nation
Ivanka and Jared decided to move to Miami instead of staying at the White House. Eric is now in charge of the family business. Tiffany recently got married. Barron is pursuing a career in strategy 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. He is the eldest son of the president-elect.
At 46 years old, Donald Trump has gained influence in politics and amassed wealth by promoting the Make America Great Again movement, which was originally started by his father. He owns several businesses catering to conservatives, including a publishing company and a lucrative podcasting deal. Forbes calculated his net worth to be approximately $50 million, mostly accumulated after his father’s political career following January 6, 2021.
Because of this, his colleagues believe that he has no intention of becoming part of the administration. However, he is aware of the challenges faced by his siblings and some newly appointed officials who tried to control access to his father, which turned out to be a risky move in terms of politics.
Recently, as the president-elect is putting together his team, his son has been acting as a filter for loyalty. While the president-elect is primarily interested in how candidates appear and their ability to communicate, his son is more concerned with their sincerity and potential to disrupt the MAGA agenda. This dynamic is evident as they assess candidates at Mar-a-Lago in Florida.
