Ivanka and Jared decided to move away from the White House and start a new life in Miami. Eric is currently in charge of running 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 stayed by his father’s side the most. He is the oldest son of the president-elect.

At the age of 46, Donald Trump has gained influence and wealth by promoting the Make America Great Again movement that his father began. He owns various businesses catering to conservatives, including a publishing company and a lucrative podcasting contract. Forbes approximates Trump’s net worth to be approximately $50 million, mostly accumulated following his father’s political career after January 6, 2021.

His associates believe that he will not be joining the administration for this reason. However, he is aware of the challenges that his siblings and some new administration officials faced when they tried to control access to his father. This is a risky move politically.

Lately, as the incoming president selects members for his administration, 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 their appearance and ability to communicate effectively, according to sources. On the other hand, his son is more concerned with whether they are genuine in their statements and if they pose a risk to the MAGA agenda.
