Writing from the nation
Ivanka and Jared decided to move away from the White House and start a new life in Miami. Eric is currently managing the family business. Tiffany recently got married. Barron is studying to become a strategist at NYU.
Out of all of Donald 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.
Donald Trump, who is 46 years old, has gained both political influence and wealth by promoting the Make America Great Again movement that his father initiated. He owns several businesses that cater to conservative audiences, including a publishing company and a lucrative podcasting contract worth seven figures annually. According to Forbes, Mr. Trump’s net worth is estimated to be approximately $50 million, much of which was accumulated following his father’s political career after January 6, 2021.
His associates believe he will not be joining the administration for this reason. However, he is aware of the risks involved in trying to control access to his father, as his siblings and some first-term administration officials have experienced firsthand.
Recently, while the president-elect is assembling his administration, his son has been acting as a filter for loyalty. While evaluating potential candidates at Mar-a-Lago in Florida, the president-elect prioritizes appearance and messaging, according to sources. On the other hand, his son is more concerned with the sincerity of the candidates and whether they pose a threat to the principles of MAGA.
