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.
At the age of 46, Donald Trump has gained influence in politics and amassed wealth by continuing the Make America Great Again movement that his father initiated. He owns various businesses catering to conservative audiences, including a publishing company and a lucrative podcasting contract. According to Forbes, Trump’s net worth is estimated to be approximately $50 million, largely accumulated following his father’s political career after January 6, 2021.
His colleagues believe he will not be taking a position in the administration for this reason. However, he is aware of the challenges faced by his siblings and other new administration officials who have tried to control access to their father. This has proven to be a risky political move.
Lately, as the incoming president works on forming his administration, his son has been acting as a loyalty detector. While they assess potential candidates at Mar-a-Lago in Florida, the president-elect is interested in their appearance and ability to communicate effectively, according to sources. On the other hand, his son is more concerned with whether the candidates are sincere in their intentions and if they could disrupt the MAGA agenda.
