Writing from the nation
Ivanka and Jared decided to move away from the White House and start a new life in Miami. Eric is now in charge of running the family business. Tiffany has recently gotten married. Barron is currently studying to become a strategist at NYU.
Out of all of Donald Trump’s children, Donald Jr. has been the one who has remained closest to his father. He is the oldest son of 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 initiated by his father. He owns a variety of businesses that cater to conservative audiences, including a publishing company and a lucrative podcasting contract. Forbes calculated Trump’s net worth to be approximately $50 million, mostly accumulated after his father’s political career ended on January 6, 2021.
Because of this, people close to him say he does not intend to become a part of the administration. However, he is aware of the challenges that his siblings and some new administration officials faced when trying to control access to his father, which can be risky politically.
Recently, as the incoming president selects his team, his son has been acting as a sort of loyalty evaluator. While assessing potential candidates at Mar-a-Lago in Florida, the president-elect prioritizes appearance and communication skills, according to those close to him. On the other hand, his son is more interested in determining if the candidates are sincere in their beliefs and if they pose a risk to the principles of the MAGA movement.
