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 been the one who has stayed by his father’s side the most. He is the oldest son of the president-elect.
At 46 years old, Mr. Trump has gained influence in politics and amassed wealth by promoting the Make America Great Again movement that was initially started by his father. He owns a variety of businesses that cater to conservative audiences, including a publishing company and a lucrative podcasting agreement. Forbes recently calculated Mr. Trump’s net worth to be approximately $50 million, a significant portion of which was accumulated following his father’s political career after January 6, 2021.
According to his colleagues, he has no intention of becoming part of the administration. However, he is aware of the challenges faced by his siblings and some new administration officials who tried to control access to their father, which proved to be risky in terms of political consequences.
Lately, while the incoming president is putting together his team, his son has been acting as a detector of loyalty. While evaluating potential candidates in Florida, the president-elect is interested in appearance and communication skills, according to those close to them. On the other hand, his son is more concerned with determining if the candidates are genuine in their intentions and if they pose a threat to the MAGA agenda.
