Ivanka and Jared decided to move to Miami and leave their positions at the White House. Eric is now in charge of the family business. Tiffany recently got married. Barron is currently studying to become a strategist at NYU.

Out of all the children of Trump, Donald Jr. has been the one who has remained closest to his father, the president-elect.

Donald Trump, who is 46 years old, has gained influence in politics and wealth by promoting the Make America Great Again movement, which was originally started by his father. He has various businesses that cater to conservative audiences, including a publishing company and a lucrative podcasting deal. According to Forbes, Mr. Trump’s estimated net worth is approximately $50 million, mostly accumulated following his father’s political career after January 6, 2021.

His colleagues believe that he won’t be joining the administration for this reason. However, he is aware of the challenges faced by his siblings and other officials in the first term when they attempted to control access to his father. This has shown him that being a gatekeeper for his father can be risky in terms of politics.

Lately, as the incoming president puts together his team, his son has been acting as a loyalty evaluator. While they assess potential candidates at Mar-a-Lago in Florida, the president-elect is primarily interested in appearance and communication skills, according to sources. On the other hand, his son is more concerned with the sincerity of their intentions and whether they pose a risk to the principles of MAGA.
