Out of all the children of Trump, Donald Jr. has been the one who has been the closest to his father.

At the age of 46, Donald Trump has gained influence in politics and wealth by promoting the Make America Great Again movement initiated by his father. He owns various businesses catering to conservative audiences, including a publishing company and a lucrative podcast deal. Forbes approximated Trump’s net worth at around $50 million, primarily accumulated following his father’s political tenure after January 6, 2021.

His colleagues have stated that he has no intention of becoming part of the administration. However, he is aware of the challenges faced by his siblings and other new administration members when attempting to control access to his father. Serving as a gatekeeper for his father can be politically risky.

Lately, as the incoming president puts together his team, his son has been acting as a detector of loyalty. While the president-elect evaluates candidates based on their appearance and communication skills during meetings at Mar-a-Lago in Florida, his son is more interested in determining the sincerity of their words and whether they pose a risk to the MAGA agenda.
