Writing from the capital
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 recently got married. Barron is currently studying as a strategist at NYU.
Out of all of Donald Trump’s children, Donald Jr. has been the most consistently by his father’s side. He is the oldest son of the president-elect.
At the age of 46, Donald Trump has gained influence in politics and accumulated wealth by continuing the Make America Great Again movement that his father began. He owns various businesses that cater to conservative audiences, including a publishing company and a lucrative podcasting contract. Forbes recently assessed Trump’s net worth to be approximately $50 million, largely attributed to his father’s political legacy following January 6, 2021.
His colleagues claim that he has no intention of becoming part of the administration for this reason. However, he is also aware of the challenges that his family members and some new administration officials faced when trying to control access to his father. Serving as a gatekeeper for his father is seen as a risky political endeavor.
Recently, as the incoming president assembles his team, his son has been acting as a kind of loyalty evaluator. While the president-elect is focused on appearance and messaging when considering candidates at Mar-a-Lago, his son is more concerned with their sincerity and whether or not they pose a threat to the MAGA agenda.
