Writing from the nation

Ivanka and Jared decided to move to Miami instead of staying at the White House. Eric is now managing the family business. Tiffany recently got married. Barron is now studying as 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. He is the oldest son of the president-elect.

At the age of 46, Donald Trump has gained influence in politics and wealth by promoting the Make America Great Again movement, which was initiated by his father. He owns various businesses geared towards conservatives, such as a publishing company and a lucrative podcasting contract. According to Forbes, Trump’s net worth is estimated to be approximately $50 million, primarily accumulated following his father’s political career after January 6, 2021.

His colleagues believe that he has no intention of becoming part of the administration. However, he is aware of the challenges faced by his siblings and other officials in the first term who attempted to control access to his father. This can be a risky political move.

Recently, as the president-elect is selecting people for his administration, his son has been acting as a judge of loyalty. While they assess potential candidates at Mar-a-Lago in Florida, the president-elect is interested in their appearance and ability to communicate effectively, according to sources. His son, on the other hand, is more concerned with whether the candidates truly believe in what they are saying and if they pose a risk to the order of MAGA.
