Writing from the capital
Ivanka and Jared decided to move from the White House to 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 remained the closest to his father. He is the oldest son of the president-elect.
At 46 years old, Mr. Trump has gained influence in politics and wealth by promoting the Make America Great Again movement, which was originally started by his father. He has various businesses that cater to conservative audiences, including a publishing company and a lucrative podcasting contract. Forbes has estimated Mr. Trump’s net worth to be approximately $50 million, a significant portion of which was acquired following his father’s political tenure after January 6, 2021.
Because of this, his colleagues claim that he does not intend to become part of the administration. However, he is aware of the challenges faced by his siblings and some officials in their first term, who found it difficult to control access to their father.
During the past few weeks, the president-elect’s son has been acting as a sort of loyalty assessor while his father works on forming his administration. Those close to them say that the president-elect is mainly interested in candidates who appear good and can effectively convey a message, especially as they review candidates at Mar-a-Lago in Florida. On the other hand, his son is more concerned with determining if the candidates genuinely believe in what they are saying and if they pose a threat to the MAGA agenda.
