The first time Donald Trump was president, it was decidedly a family affair. His wife Melania and young son Barron joined him in the presidential living quarters. His adult daughter Ivanka and son-in-law Jared Kushner served as top White House advisers. Sons Eric and Donald Jr. looked after the family business, the Trump Organization, which holds real estate across the world. Those properties resulted in the Trumps allegedly racking up thousands of conflicts of interest during his presidency, according to ethics experts.
This time around, things will look a bit different at 1600 Pennsylvania. Barron’s at college in New York. Jared and Ivanka are in Miami after the latter formally announced her withdrawal from politics in 2022. Melania’s reportedly going to bounce between Palm Beach and Manhattan, rather than live full-time at the White House. Don Jr. got a new job as a venture capitalist instead of joining the White House, and Eric is taking a back seat to his wife, Lara.
