Writing from the city
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 strategic planning at NYU.
Out of all of Donald Trump’s children, Donald Jr. has been the one who has remained the closest to his father.
At 46 years old, Mr. Trump has gained influence in politics and amassed wealth by promoting the Make America Great Again movement that was initiated by his father. He owns various businesses that cater to conservative audiences, including a publishing company and a lucrative podcasting contract. Forbes has estimated his net worth to be approximately $50 million, which has primarily grown since his father’s involvement in politics after January 6, 2021.
His colleagues believe he will not be joining the administration for this reason. However, he is aware of the risks involved in trying to control access to his father, as his siblings and some new administration members have found out the hard way.
Lately, as the incoming president puts together his team, his son has been acting as a sort of loyalty detector. While reviewing potential candidates at Mar-a-Lago in Florida, the president-elect is mainly interested in their appearance and communication skills, according to sources. On the other hand, his son is more concerned with whether they are genuine in their intentions and if they pose a risk to the "Make America Great Again" agenda.
