Updating from the capital
Ivanka and Jared have moved away from the White House to start a new life in Miami. Eric is now in charge of the family business. Tiffany has recently gotten married. Barron is beginning his career as 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. He is the oldest son of the president-elect.
At the age of 46, Donald Trump has gained influence in the political arena and amassed personal wealth by promoting the Make America Great Again movement that his father initiated. He owns various businesses that cater to conservative audiences, including a publishing company and a lucrative podcasting deal. According to Forbes, Trump’s net worth, which grew significantly following his father’s political activities after January 6, 2021, is estimated to be around $50 million.
His colleagues believe that he does not intend to become part of the administration. 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 can be politically risky.
Recently, the president-elect has been expanding his administration, and his son has been acting as a sort of loyalty assessor. While the president-elect is mainly interested in appearances and messaging when reviewing candidates at Mar-a-Lago in Florida, his son is more concerned with their sincerity and potential threat to the MAGA agenda.
