Trumps return to the White House, what every family member will play

Although his relatives are expected to be less involved in this second mandate of Trump, some are expected to maintain a key role as unofficial Republican advisers.

Trump's third wife, Melanie, whom he married in 2005, is returning as the first US lady. The 54-year-old ex-model will reside in the White House with interruptions, according to CNN, as she did during her husband's first term.

Traditionally, the first ladies of the United States are involved in organising official dinners and taking over promoting social issues. The first time she took that role, Melanie Trump got involved in the fight against cyber harassment. The American president's eldest son, 47-year-old businessman Don Jr, exerted great influence on his father to choose J. D. Vance as vice president.

Donald Trump Jr is not expected to take on an official role in the White House, but will remain deputy executive chairman of the family business, the Trump Organisation.

Ivanka Trump distanced himself from politics at the end of her father's first term, as he was one of his main advisers.

I know the cost of this and I'm not ready to give it to my children,” said Ivanka, 43, mother of three recently.

Her husband, Jared Kouchner, was also Trump's adviser in his first term, primarily dealing with Gulf country leaders during the period when the US was negotiating the outcome of Abraham's agreement to normalise its relations with Israel.

This time around, CNN points out, Kouchner will not have an official role, but will be an informal Trump adviser for Middle Eastern affairs.

Eric Trump, 41, the youngest of Trump's children from his first marriage, was deputy chairman of the Trump Organisation during his father's first term, appearing on surveillance and television to protect him. It is expected to hold the same roles in Trump's second term.

His wife, Lara Trump, who is trying to make a career as a singer, recently resigned as deputy head of the Republican Party.

A single child from the marriage of Trump to Marla Maples, Tiffany had made some public presentations next to her father during his first term. The 31-year-old law graduate attended several rallies in 2024, but plans to stay out of politics, while according to American media, she is expecting a child.

During Trump's first term, his mother Melanie defended him from public sight, but now 18-year-old Barron appears willing to start his path to politics.

A student in NYU in New York, Donald Trump's youngest child has been an important part of the republican's strategy to attract young people to 2024, including his encouragement to interview Andy Ross, a prominent YouTuber.

Charles Kouchner, Jared's father, will be the American ambassador to France. Though convicted of tax evasion and bribery for witnesses, Trump forgave him in 2020.

Massoud Boulos, the father-in-law of Tiffany Trump, will be the adviser to the American president of the Middle East.
