Ivanka and Jared decided to move to Miami, leaving their roles in the White House. 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 the children of Trump, 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 his father began. He owns various businesses that cater to conservative audiences, such as a publishing company and a lucrative podcasting deal. Forbes has estimated his net worth to be approximately $50 million, which has mainly grown since his father’s political career after January 6, 2021.
His colleagues believe that he will not be joining the administration because of this. However, he is aware of the difficulties faced by his siblings and other new administration officials who tried to control access to his father. Serving as a gatekeeper for his father can be politically risky.
Over the past few weeks, the president-elect’s son has been acting as a sort of loyalty evaluator as his father assembles his administration. While the president-elect is primarily focused on candidates’ appearance and ability to convey a message during evaluations at Mar-a-Lago in Florida, his son is more concerned with determining the sincerity of their intentions and whether they pose a risk to the MAGA agenda.
