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 the family business. Tiffany recently got married. Barron is currently studying as a strategist at NYU.
Out of all of Trump’s children, Donald Jr. has remained the closest to his father, the newly elected president.
At 46 years old, Donald Trump has gained influence in politics and amassed wealth by promoting the Make America Great Again movement that was initiated by his father. He owns various businesses geared towards conservatives, including a publishing company and a lucrative podcasting deal. Forbes recently calculated his net worth to be approximately $50 million, mainly accumulated following his father’s political career after January 6, 2021.
His colleagues believe that he will not be joining the administration because of this. However, he is aware of the challenges that his siblings and other new administration officials faced when trying to control access to his father. This can be a risky move politically.
Lately, 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 those around them. His son, on the other hand, is more concerned with evaluating the sincerity of their intentions and whether they pose a threat to the MAGA agenda.
