Writing from the capital
Ivanka and Jared decided to move from the White House to Miami. Eric is now in charge of the family business. Tiffany tied the knot. 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 46 years old, Donald Trump has gained both political influence and wealth by promoting the Make America Great Again movement that was initially started by his father. He owns several businesses that cater to conservative audiences, such as a publishing company and a lucrative podcasting deal. According to Forbes, Trump’s net worth, which has significantly increased since his father’s political career after January 6, 2021, is estimated to be approximately $50 million.
His colleagues mention that he doesn’t intend to become a part of the administration for this reason. 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 risky politically.
Lately, as the incoming president puts together his team, his son has been acting as a sort of loyalty assessor. While they evaluate potential candidates at Mar-a-Lago in Florida, the president-elect is interested in appearance and ability to communicate effectively, according to sources. His son, on the other hand, is more concerned with whether their intentions align with their words and if they pose a risk to the MAGA agenda.
