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 closest to his father throughout his presidency.
At the age of 46, Donald Trump has gained influence in the political arena and accumulated wealth by promoting and continuing his father’s Make America Great Again movement. He owns various businesses focused on conservative ideals, such as a publishing company and a lucrative podcasting deal. Forbes has estimated his net worth to be approximately $50 million, which has largely increased following his father’s political career after January 6, 2021.
His colleagues believe he will not be joining the administration due to this reason. However, he is also aware of the challenges faced by his siblings and some officials in their first term, who struggled to act as a gatekeeper for their father, which proved to be a risky political move.
Recently, while the president-elect is assembling his administration, his son has been acting as a judge of loyalty. While evaluating potential candidates at Mar-a-Lago in Florida, the president-elect is interested in their appearance and ability to communicate effectively, according to sources. 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.
