46 years old Donald Trump JrPopularly known as Don Jr., this time is President-elect Donald Trump’s favorite child as he prepares to re-enter the White House. In 2016, it was Ivanka and her husband Jared. But this time he doesn’t want to participate in Trump’s administration and is apparently happy in Miami; Eric Trump is running family businesses; Tiffany is married and Baron is a social media strategist studying business at NYU.
Trump’s oldest son is now his favorite because he’s stuck by him, name-dropping friend JD Vance to dad as a running mate, advising dad to bring Kennedy Jr. on board, etc. — and it all paid off.
Don Jr. owns several businesses, a publishing company, podcasting deals all contribute to his $50 million net worth.
Will Don Jr. join the administration in 2016 like Ivanka and Jared?
Don Jr. will not join the administration because his hands are already full and he wields enough power outside of the administration as well. The NYT reports that he took a leaf out of Ivanka and Jared and already knows that trying to serve as a gatekeeper for his father is a politically risky exercise.
Don Jr. Loyalty Scanner
In several podcasts, Don Jr. said that the administration would only have loyal people and that there was a loyalty scanner at Mar-a-Lago that went through all of Trump’s picks and scanned whether they meant what they said and whether they were a potential threat. . For MAFA orders.
The NYT Deep-Dive referred to him as Don Jr. who saw RFK Jr. as an early threat and began brainstorming to bring him into the MAGA fold. Don Jr. also knows how to make people a little angry on social media. It was Don Jr. who gave RFK Jr. a taste of some McDonald’s just for fun.
Charlie Kirk, a conservative critic, told the NYT that Don Jr. doesn’t pay attention to everything — only when he has something extra to offer or when he feels something isn’t in his father’s best interest.
When father and son did not speak for a year
Don Jr. and Donald Trump did not speak for a year after Trump divorced his mother, Ivana, following his affair with Marla Maples. Don Jr. grew up largely under the influence of his grandfather and loves hunting and fishing. The father-son clash resurfaced in 2017 when he was a central figure in the investigation into the Trump campaign’s ties to Russia.
