Writing from the capital
Ivanka and Jared decided to move to Miami and leave their roles in the White House. Eric is now in charge of running 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 46 years old, Mr. Trump has gained influence in politics and amassed wealth by promoting the Make America Great Again movement that his father began. He owns various businesses catering to conservative audiences, including a publishing company and a lucrative podcasting contract. Forbes calculated Mr. Trump’s net worth to be approximately $50 million, mostly accumulated after his father’s political career following the events of January 6, 2021.
His colleagues believe that he will not be joining the administration due to this. However, he is aware of the risks involved in trying to control access to his father, as his siblings and some officials in the administration found out the difficult way.
Lately, while the president-elect is forming his administration, his son has been acting as a detector of loyalty. While assessing potential candidates at Mar-a-Lago in Florida, the president-elect is mainly concerned with appearances and messaging abilities, according to those around him. On the other hand, his son is more interested in determining the sincerity of their words and whether they pose a threat to the MAGA agenda.
