Ivanka and Jared decided to move away from the White House and now live in Miami. Eric is now in charge of the family business. Tiffany recently got married. 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 remained closest to his father throughout his presidency.
Donald Trump, who is 46 years old, has gained influence in politics and accumulated 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 deal. According to Forbes, Trump’s net worth, which mostly grew after his father’s political career ended on January 6, 2021, is estimated to be approximately $50 million.
According to his colleagues, he does not intend to become part of the administration for this reason. However, he is aware of the challenges faced by his siblings and some first-term administration officials when attempting to control access to his father. This is seen as a risky move in the political arena.
Lately, as the incoming president expands his team, his son has been acting as a loyalty checker. While they assess potential candidates at Mar-a-Lago in Florida, the president-elect is interested in appearance and communication skills, according to sources. On the other hand, his son is more concerned with the sincerity of their statements and whether they pose a risk to the MAGA agenda.
