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 Trump’s children, Donald Jr. has been the one who has stayed by his father’s side the most. He is the oldest son of the president-elect.
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 several conservative businesses, including a publishing company and a lucrative podcasting deal. Forbes has estimated Trump’s net worth to be approximately $50 million, mainly accumulated after his father’s political career following the events of January 6, 2021.
His colleagues believe he will not be taking a position in the administration for this reason. However, he is aware of the challenges faced by his siblings and other new administration officials who tried to control access to their father. This has proven to be a risky move politically.
Recently, as the incoming president works on forming his administration, his son has been acting as a sort of loyalty assessor. While evaluating potential candidates at Mar-a-Lago in Florida, the president-elect is primarily interested in appearance and communication abilities, according to sources close to them. On the other hand, his son is more concerned with the sincerity of their intentions and whether they pose a threat to the principles of the MAGA movement.
