Writing from the capital
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 Trump’s children, Donald Jr. has been the one who has stayed by his father’s side the most.
At the age of 46, Donald Trump has gained influence in politics and amassed wealth by continuing the Make America Great Again movement initiated by his father. He owns several businesses catering to conservative audiences, including a publishing company and a lucrative podcasting agreement. According to Forbes, Trump’s net worth, primarily accumulated after his father’s political career post-January 6, 2021, is estimated to be approximately $50 million.
His colleagues mention that he does not intend to become part of the administration. However, he is aware of the challenges faced by his siblings and some first-term administration officials when trying to control access to his father, which can be risky from a political standpoint.
Lately, as the incoming president puts together his team, his son has been acting as a gauge of loyalty. While the president-elect is focused on appearance and messaging when evaluating potential candidates at Mar-a-Lago, his son is more concerned with their sincerity and whether they align with the values of the MAGA movement.
