Writing from the nation
Ivanka and Jared decided to move to Miami instead of staying at 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 of Donald Trump’s children, Donald Jr. has remained the 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 his father originally began. He owns various businesses that cater to conservative audiences, such as a publishing company and a lucrative podcasting contract worth seven figures annually. Forbes recently calculated that Mr. Trump’s wealth, which largely grew after his father’s political career following January 6, 2021, is estimated to be approximately $50 million.
His colleagues believe that he will not be joining the administration for this reason. However, he is aware of the challenges faced by his siblings and other officials in their first term when attempting to control access to his father. Serving as a gatekeeper for his father comes with significant political risks.
Recently, while the president-elect is selecting his administration members, his son has been acting as a judge of loyalty. While the president-elect is more concerned with appearances and the ability to convey a message, his son is more focused on determining if the candidates are genuine in their intentions and if they pose a threat to the MAGA movement. This evaluation is taking place at Mar-a-Lago in Florida.
