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 been the one who has remained closely by his father’s side the most.
At 46 years old, Donald Trump has gained influence in politics and wealth by promoting the Make America Great Again movement, which was initiated by his father. He owns various businesses that cater to conservative audiences, including a publishing company and a lucrative podcasting agreement. Forbes has estimated his 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. However, he is aware of the challenges faced by his siblings and other officials who tried to control access to his father, which turned out to be a risky political move.
Recently, as the incoming president is selecting his administration, his son has been acting as a sort of loyalty detector. While they assess potential candidates at Mar-a-Lago in Florida, the president-elect is primarily interested in appearance and messaging abilities, according to sources. On the other hand, his son is more concerned with the sincerity of their words and whether they pose a threat to the MAGA agenda.
