Ivanka and Jared decided to move to Miami and leave their roles at the White House. Eric is now in charge of the family business. Tiffany recently got married. Barron is studying strategic planning at NYU.

Out of all of Donald Trump’s children, Donald Jr. has been the one who has remained closest to his father. He is the oldest son of the president-elect.

Donald Trump, who is 46 years old, has gained both political influence and wealth by promoting the Make America Great Again movement that was initially started by his father. He owns various businesses that cater to conservative audiences, including a publishing company and a lucrative podcasting agreement. According to Forbes, Trump’s estimated net worth, which largely grew after his father’s political career post-January 6, 2021, is approximately $50 million.

His colleagues believe he will not be joining the administration because of this. However, he is aware of the challenges that his siblings and some new administration officials faced when trying to control access to his father. This can be a risky political move.

During the past few weeks, the president-elect’s son has played a role in assessing loyalty as his father assembles his administration. While the president-elect is focused on appearance and message delivery when reviewing candidates at Mar-a-Lago in Florida, his son is more concerned with their sincerity and whether they pose a threat to the MAGA agenda.
