Writing from the nation
Ivanka and Jared decided to move from the White House to Miami for a new lifestyle. Eric is now in charge of the family business. Tiffany recently got married. Barron is focusing on his studies at NYU and showing potential as a strategist.
Out of all of Trump’s children, Donald Jr. has been the most loyal and supportive of his father, the president-elect.
At 46 years old, Donald Trump has gained influence in politics and amassed wealth by promoting the Make America Great Again movement that his father began. He owns various businesses that cater to conservative audiences, including a publishing company and a lucrative podcasting agreement. Forbes calculated Trump’s net worth to be approximately $50 million, mostly accumulated following his father’s political career after January 6, 2021.
His associates believe he will not be joining the administration for that reason. However, he is aware of the challenges faced by his siblings and some first-term administration officials who tried to control access to his father, which proved to be politically risky.
As the president-elect works on forming his administration, his son plays a role in assessing loyalty. While the president-elect focuses on appearance and messaging when evaluating candidates at Mar-a-Lago in Florida, his son pays attention to their sincerity and whether they pose a threat to the MAGA agenda.
