Ivanka and Jared decided to move away from the White House and start a new life in Miami. 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 Trump’s children, Donald Jr. has remained the closest to his father, the president-elect.

At the age of 46, Donald Trump has gained influence and wealth by promoting the Make America Great Again movement that was originally started by his father. He has various businesses that cater to conservative audiences, including a publishing company and a lucrative podcasting deal. Forbes recently calculated Trump’s net worth to be approximately $50 million, much of which was accumulated following his father’s political career after January 6, 2021.

His colleagues believe that he will not be joining the administration due to this reason. However, he is aware of the challenges faced by his siblings and other new administration officials who tried to control access to his father, which ended up being risky from a political standpoint.

In the past few weeks, the incoming president has been expanding his administration, with his son playing a role in assessing loyalty. While the president-elect is primarily interested in candidates’ appearance and messaging abilities, his son is more concerned with their sincerity and whether they pose a threat to the current administration’s priorities.
