Writing from the capital
Ivanka and Jared decided to move away from the White House and start a new life in Miami. Eric is currently in charge of the family business. Tiffany recently got married. Barron is studying to become a strategist at NYU.
Out of all of Trump’s children, Donald Jr. has remained the closest to his father. He is the oldest 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 originally started by his father. He owns various businesses catering to conservatives, including a publishing company and a lucrative podcasting deal. According to Forbes, Trump’s net worth is estimated to be approximately $50 million, mostly accumulated after his father’s political career ended on January 6, 2021.
Because of this, people who know him say he has no intention of becoming part of the administration. However, he is aware of the challenges that his siblings and some officials who are new to the administration faced when trying to control access to their father. This can be a risky political move.
Lately, as the president-elect puts together his team, his son has been acting as a watchdog for loyalty. While the president-elect is focused on appearance and communication skills when evaluating candidates at Mar-a-Lago, his son is more concerned with their sincerity and potential threat to the MAGA agenda.
