Ivanka and Jared decided to move away from the White House and settle in Miami. 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 the children of Trump, Donald Jr. has been the one who has remained closest to his father, the president-elect.

At 46 years old, Donald Trump has gained both political influence and wealth by promoting the Make America Great Again movement that was originally started by his father. He owns a variety of businesses focused on conservative interests, including a publishing company and a lucrative podcasting deal worth seven figures annually. According to Forbes, Trump’s estimated net worth is around $50 million, largely accumulated following his father’s political career after January 6, 2021.

His colleagues believe he will not be joining the administration for that reason. However, he is aware of the challenges faced by his siblings and other officials who tried to control access to his father. This has proven to be risky from a political standpoint.

Lately, as the incoming president puts together his team, his son has been acting as a detector of loyalty. While the president-elect evaluates candidates based on appearance and communication skills at Mar-a-Lago in Florida, his son is more concerned with whether they truly believe in what they are saying and if they pose a risk to the MAGA agenda.
