Writing from the capital
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.
Among all of Donald 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 the age of 46, Donald Trump has gained influence in politics and wealth by promoting the Make America Great Again movement that his father initiated. He owns various businesses that cater to conservatives, such as a publishing company and a lucrative podcasting deal. Forbes calculated Trump’s net worth to be approximately $50 million, which has primarily increased since his father’s political career after January 6, 2021.
His colleagues mention that he does not intend to become part of the administration. However, he is aware of the challenges faced by his siblings and some first-term officials who tried to control access to their father, which proved to be politically risky.
Lately, as the president-elect puts together his team, his son has been acting as a detector of loyalty. While evaluating potential candidates at Mar-a-Lago in Florida, the president-elect prioritizes appearance and messaging abilities, according to those close to them. Meanwhile, his son is more interested in determining the sincerity of their intentions and whether they pose a threat to the MAGA agenda.
