Out of all of Donald Trump’s children, Donald Jr. has been the one who has consistently 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 wealth by promoting the Make America Great Again movement that his father began. He owns several businesses that cater to conservative audiences, including a publishing company and a lucrative podcasting contract. Forbes has estimated his net worth to be approximately $50 million, mostly accumulated after his father’s political career following January 6, 2021.
Because of this, his colleagues mention that he does not intend to become a part of the administration. However, he is aware of the challenges that his siblings and some officials from the first term faced when trying to control access to his father, which turned out to be risky from a political standpoint.
Lately, while the president-elect is selecting his administration team, his son has been acting as a detector of loyalty. During candidate evaluations at Mar-a-Lago in Florida, the president-elect is interested in appearances and communication skills, according to sources. Meanwhile, his son is more concerned with the sincerity of the candidates’ intentions and whether they pose a threat to the MAGA agenda.
