Writing from the capital
Ivanka and Jared decided to move away from the White House and start a new life in Miami. Eric is now in charge of the family business. Tiffany recently got married. Barron is currently studying to become a strategist at NYU.
Out of all of Trump’s children, Donald Jr. has been the most loyal and has stayed by his father’s side the most. He is the oldest son of the president-elect.
At 46 years old, Donald Trump has gained influence in politics and amassed wealth by promoting the Make America Great Again movement initiated by his father. He owns various businesses catering to conservative audiences, including a publishing company and a lucrative podcasting contract. Forbes approximates Trump’s wealth at about $50 million, largely accumulated following his father’s political career after January 6, 2021.
According to his colleagues, he does not intend to become part of the administration. However, he is aware that attempting to control access to his father can be risky, as seen by his siblings and some new administration officials.
Lately, as the incoming president puts together his team, his son has been playing the role of assessing loyalty. While the president-elect prioritizes appearance and communication skills when evaluating candidates at Mar-a-Lago, his son is more interested in determining their sincerity and whether they align with the values of the MAGA movement.
