Writing from the nation

Ivanka and Jared decided to move away from the White House and start a new life 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 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 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, including a publishing company and a lucrative podcasting deal. Forbes has estimated Trump’s net worth to be approximately $50 million, largely accumulated following his father’s political career after January 6, 2021.

According to his associates, he has no intention of joining the administration for this reason. However, he is aware of the challenges faced by his siblings and other first-term officials who tried to control access to his father, which ultimately led to political risks.

Recently, as the incoming president puts together his team, his son has been acting as a gauge of loyalty. While the president-elect focuses on appearances and messaging, his son is more concerned with determining if candidates are genuine in their beliefs and if they pose a risk to the current administration’s values.
