Writing from the city
Ivanka and Jared decided to move to Miami and leave the White House. Eric is now in charge of the family business. Tiffany recently got married. Barron is studying at NYU to become a strategist.
Out of all of Donald Trump’s children, Donald Jr. has remained the closest to his father.
At 46 years old, Donald Trump has gained influence in politics and amassed wealth by promoting the Make America Great Again movement that his father began. He owns several businesses catering to conservatives, including a publishing company and a lucrative podcasting deal. Forbes calculated Trump’s net worth to be approximately $50 million, largely accumulated following his father’s political career after January 6, 2021.
His colleagues mention that he has no intention of becoming part of the administration for this reason. However, he is aware of the challenges faced by his siblings and some new administration officials when attempting to control access to his father, which can be risky from a political standpoint.
Lately, as the upcoming president puts together his team, his son has been acting as a sort of loyalty evaluator. While discussing potential candidates at Mar-a-Lago in Florida, the president-elect is interested in appearances and communication abilities, according to those close to them. On the other hand, his son is more concerned with the sincerity of the candidates’ words and whether they pose a risk to the MAGA movement.
