Out of all of Donald Trump’s children, no one has remained closer to their father than Donald Jr., who is the oldest son of the president-elect.
Donald Trump, who is 46 years old, has gained influence in politics and wealth by promoting the Make America Great Again movement that was initiated by his father. He owns various businesses that cater to conservative audiences, such as a publishing company and a lucrative podcasting deal. According to Forbes, Trump’s net worth has reached approximately $50 million, mainly growing after his father’s political career ended on January 6, 2021.
His colleagues believe that he has no intention of becoming part of the administration. However, he is aware of the challenges faced by his siblings and other officials in the first term who tried to control access to his father, which proved to be a risky political move.
Lately, as the incoming president puts together his team, his son has been acting as a filter for loyalty. While the president-elect is focused on appearance and messaging when considering candidates at Mar-a-Lago, his son is more concerned with their sincerity and whether they align with the principles of the MAGA movement.
