Writing from the nation
Ivanka and Jared decided to move to Miami and leave the White House. Eric is now in charge of the family business. Tiffany has recently gotten married. Barron is studying and gaining experience as a strategist at NYU.
Out of all of Donald Trump’s children, Donald Jr. has been the one who has remained closest to his father throughout his presidency.
At the age of 46, Donald Trump has gained influence in politics and wealth by continuing the Make America Great Again movement that his father began. He owns several businesses catering to conservative audiences, such as a publishing company and a lucrative podcasting contract. Forbes has estimated his net worth to be approximately $50 million, mostly accumulated following his father’s political career after January 6, 2021.
His colleagues believe he will not be joining the administration for this reason. However, he is aware of the challenges faced by his siblings and other officials who attempted to control access to his father. Serving as a gatekeeper for his father can be risky in terms of politics.
Recently, as the incoming president fills roles in his administration, his son has been acting as a sort of loyalty evaluator. While the president-elect focuses on appearance and communication skills when reviewing candidates at Mar-a-Lago, his son is more concerned with their sincerity and potential impact on the MAGA movement.
