Out of all of Donald Trump’s children, no one has stayed by his side more consistently than his eldest son, Donald Jr.
At the age of 46, Donald Trump has gained influence in politics and wealth by promoting the Make America Great Again movement that his father began. He owns several businesses aimed at conservative audiences, including a publishing company and a lucrative podcasting agreement. Forbes calculated Trump’s net worth to be approximately $50 million, mostly accumulated after his father’s political career following January 6, 2021.
His colleagues say he has no intention of becoming part of the administration for this reason. However, he is aware of the challenges faced by his siblings and some new administration officials who tried to control access to his father and faced political risks as a result.
Lately, as the incoming president puts together his team, his son has been acting as a sort of loyalty detector. While assessing potential candidates at Mar-a-Lago in Florida, the president-elect is focused on appearances and communication skills, according to sources. On the other hand, his son is more concerned with the sincerity of their intentions and whether they pose a threat to the principles of the MAGA movement.
