Writing from the capital
After leaving their roles in the White House, Ivanka and Jared decided to start a new life in Miami. Eric has taken over the family business, while Tiffany recently got married. Barron is now studying strategic studies at NYU.
Out of all of Donald Trump’s children, Donald Jr. has been the most loyal and supportive of his father. He has consistently remained by his father’s side.
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 several businesses geared towards conservatives, including a publishing company and a lucrative podcasting contract. Forbes has calculated that Mr. Trump’s net worth is approximately $50 million, primarily accumulated following his father’s political career after January 6, 2021.
His colleagues say that he does not intend to join the administration for this reason. However, he is aware of the challenges faced by his siblings and other new administration officials who tried to control access to his father, which can be risky politically.
Lately, as the incoming president puts together his team, his son has been acting as a sort of loyalty tester. While evaluating potential candidates at Mar-a-Lago in Florida, the president-elect is interested in appearance and communication skills, according to sources. On the other hand, his son is more concerned with assessing the sincerity of the candidates’ statements and whether they pose a risk to the MAGA agenda.
