Out of all of Donald Trump’s children, Donald Jr. has been the one who has remained the closest to his father. He is the oldest son of the president-elect.
At 46 years old, Donald Trump has gained influence in politics and wealth by promoting the Make America Great Again movement that was initiated by his father. He owns several businesses that cater to conservative audiences, such as a publishing company and a lucrative podcasting agreement. Forbes has calculated Trump’s net worth to be approximately $50 million, largely accumulated following his father’s political career after January 6, 2021.
As a result, his colleagues have mentioned that he does not intend to become a part of the administration. However, he is aware of the challenges faced by his siblings and some officials in the first term who tried to control access to his father, which ultimately proved to be risky from a political standpoint.
Lately, as the incoming president is selecting his administration, his son has been acting as a judge of loyalty.
