Writing from the capital
Ivanka and Jared decided to move away from the White House and start a new life in 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 maintained the closest relationship with his father.
At 46 years old, Mr. Trump has gained influence in politics and amassed wealth by promoting the Make America Great Again movement that his father initiated. He owns various businesses catering to conservatives, including a publishing company and a lucrative podcasting contract. Forbes calculated his net worth to be approximately $50 million, mostly accumulated following his father’s political tenure after January 6, 2021.
Due to this, his colleagues mention that he does not intend to become part of the administration. However, he is aware of the challenges faced by his siblings and other officials in the first term who tried to control access to his father, which proved to be politically risky.
Over the past few weeks, while the president-elect is putting together his administration, his son has been acting as a detector of loyalty. While evaluating potential candidates at Mar-a-Lago in Florida, the president-elect is interested in appearance and communication skills, according to those around him. On the other hand, his son is more concerned with the sincerity of their intentions and whether they pose a risk to the MAGA agenda.
