Ivanka and Jared moved away from the White House to live 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 Donald Trump’s children, Donald Jr. has been the one who has stayed closest to his father and has been by his side the most.

At the age of 46, Mr. Trump has gained influence in politics and wealth by promoting the Make America Great Again movement initiated by his father. He owns several businesses catering to conservative audiences, including a publishing company and a lucrative podcasting contract. Forbes calculated Mr. Trump’s net worth to be approximately $50 million, mostly accumulated after his father’s political career following 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 experienced.

Lately, as the incoming president is selecting his administration members, his son has been acting as a sort of loyalty detector. While reviewing potential candidates at Mar-a-Lago in Florida, the incoming president is interested in their appearance and communication skills, according to sources. Meanwhile, his son is more concerned with whether the candidates truly believe in what they are saying and if they pose a threat to the MAGA movement.
