Ivanka and Jared decided to move to Miami after leaving 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.
Among all of the children of Trump, Donald Jr. has been the one who has stayed closest to his father’s side. He is the oldest son of the president-elect.
At 46 years old, Donald Trump has gained influence and wealth by promoting the Make America Great Again movement that his father began. He has various businesses catering to conservatives, such as a publishing company and a lucrative podcasting agreement. According to Forbes, Trump’s net worth is approximately $50 million, mainly accumulated after his father’s political career ended on January 6, 2021.
Because of this, people who know him well say that he does not intend to become a part of the administration. However, he is also aware of the challenges that his siblings and some officials faced when trying to control access to his father, which ultimately proved to be a risky endeavor in terms of politics.
Lately, as the incoming president 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 interested in their appearance and ability to communicate effectively, according to those close to them. On the other hand, his son is more concerned with determining if they are genuine in their intentions and whether they pose a risk to the MAGA agenda.
