Ivanka and Jared decided to move to Miami instead of staying at the White House. Eric is now in charge of the family business. Tiffany recently got married. Barron is 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 president-elect’s oldest son.
At 46 years old, Mr. 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, including a publishing company and a lucrative podcasting agreement. According to Forbes, Mr. Trump’s net worth, which grew significantly following his father’s political career after January 6, 2021, is approximately $50 million.
His colleagues state that he does not intend to become a part of the administration due to this. 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 turned out to be politically risky.
Recently, as the president-elect puts together his team, 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 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 threat to the MAGA agenda.
