Writing from the nation

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.

Out of all of Donald Trump’s children, Donald Jr. has been the most loyal and supportive of his father, the president-elect.

At 46 years old, Mr. Trump has gained influence in politics and wealth by promoting the Make America Great Again movement that his father initiated. He owns various businesses targeted towards conservative audiences, including a publishing company and a lucrative podcasting contract. Forbes approximated his wealth to be approximately $50 million, mostly accumulated after his father’s political career following January 6, 2021.

Because of this, his colleagues claim that he does not intend to become a part of the administration. However, he is aware of the challenges faced by his siblings and some officials in the first term who tried to control access to his father, which proved to be politically risky.

Recently, as the president-elect is putting together his team, his son has been acting as a sort of loyalty tester. While they assess potential candidates at Mar-a-Lago in Florida, the president-elect is interested in appearance and messaging abilities, according to those close to them. On the other hand, his son is more concerned with sincerity and whether they pose a threat to the MAGA agenda.
