Writing from the capital
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 the children of Trump, Donald Jr. has shown the most loyalty and support for his father, the president-elect.
At the age of 46, 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, such as a publishing company and a lucrative podcasting deal. Forbes has approximated Trump’s net worth to be approximately $50 million, mostly accumulated after his father’s political career ended in January 2021.
Because of this, his colleagues believe he will not be joining the government. However, he is aware of the challenges faced by his siblings and other new officials who tried to control access to his father, which can be risky in politics.
Lately, as the incoming president is forming his administration, his son has been acting as a judge of loyalty. While evaluating potential candidates at Mar-a-Lago in Florida, the president-elect focuses on appearance and messaging, according to sources. Meanwhile, his son is more concerned with sincerity and whether they pose a threat to the MAGA agenda.
