Ivanka and Jared decided to move to Miami and leave their positions in the White House. Eric is now in charge of the family business. Tiffany recently got married. Barron is studying as 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.
At 46 years old, Mr. Trump has gained influence in politics and wealth by promoting the Make America Great Again movement that was originally started by his father. He owns several businesses that cater to conservative audiences, such as a publishing company and a lucrative podcasting contract. According to Forbes, Mr. Trump’s net worth is approximately $50 million, which has largely grown following his father’s political career after January 6, 2021.
His colleagues believe that he does not intend to become part of the administration. However, he is aware of the challenges faced by his siblings and some new administration officials who tried to control access to his father, which ultimately resulted in political risks.
Over the past few weeks, the president-elect’s son has been acting as a sort of loyalty detector as his father assembles his administration. While the president-elect is focused on candidates’ appearance and ability to convey a message during their meetings at Mar-a-Lago in Florida, his son is more concerned with assessing their sincerity and whether they pose a threat to the current administration’s values.
