Writing from the capital
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 got married recently. Barron is currently studying to become a strategist at NYU.
Out of all of Trump’s children, Donald Jr. has been the one who has stayed by his father’s side the most.
At 46 years old, Donald Trump has gained influence in politics and amassed wealth by promoting and continuing his father’s Make America Great Again movement. He owns several businesses catering to conservative audiences, such as a publishing company and a lucrative podcasting deal. Forbes 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 claim that he does not intend to become part of the administration. However, he is aware of the challenges faced by his siblings and some new administration officials when they tried to control access to his father, which turned out to be politically risky.
Lately, as the incoming president selects his team, his son has been acting as a sort of loyalty tester. While evaluating potential candidates at Mar-a-Lago in Florida, the president-elect is interested in their appearance and communication skills, according to sources. His son, however, is more concerned with determining if the candidates are genuine in their intentions and whether they pose a risk to the "Make America Great Again" agenda.
