Writing from the nation
Ivanka and Jared decided to move from the White House to Miami for a new life. Eric is now in charge of the family business. Tiffany recently got married. Barron is currently studying as a strategist at NYU.
Out of all of Donald Trump’s children, Donald Jr. has been the closest to his father.
Donald Trump, who is 46 years old, has gained influence in politics and wealth by promoting the Make America Great Again movement that was originally started by his father. He owns several businesses that cater to conservatives, such as a publishing company and a lucrative podcasting deal. Forbes has estimated his net worth to be approximately $50 million, mostly accumulated after his father’s political career ended on January 6, 2021.
Due to this, his colleagues state that he does not intend to become a part of the administration. However, he is aware of the challenges faced by his siblings and some first-term administration officials when attempting to control access to his father, which can be risky from a political standpoint.
Recently, as the incoming president works on forming his administration, his son has been acting as a sort of loyalty detector. While they are evaluating potential candidates at Mar-a-Lago in Florida, the president-elect is interested in appearances and messaging capabilities, according to sources. On the other hand, his son is more concerned with the sincerity of the candidates and whether they pose a risk to the principles of the MAGA movement.
