Writing from the city

Ivanka and Jared decided to move to Miami and leave 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 Trump’s children, Donald Jr. has remained the closest to his father, the president-elect.

At the age of 46, Donald Trump has gained influence in politics and amassed wealth by promoting the Make America Great Again movement that was initially started by his father. He owns several businesses that cater to conservative audiences, such as a publishing company and a lucrative podcasting contract. Forbes has projected Trump’s net worth to be approximately $50 million, mostly accumulated following his father’s political career after January 6, 2021.

His colleagues say he has no intention of becoming part of the administration for this reason. 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.

Lately, as the incoming president puts together his team, his son has been acting as a gauge of loyalty. While the president-elect evaluates candidates based on appearance and communication skills at Mar-a-Lago in Florida, his son is more concerned with assessing their sincerity and potential threat to the MAGA movement.
