How tall Barron Trump truly is as individuals baffled by staggering dimension distinction with dad

As Donald Trump celebrates his ‘magnificent victory’ with his family, his youngest son Barron has got people talking.

Trump had all eyes on him this morning as he awaited to be officially declared US President once again, but many were left distracted by Barron, who stood much taller than his Republican father, towering over him whilst on stage at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate.

Barron, the 18-year-old son of Trump and his current wife Melania, has shot up in recent years and his staggering height has garnered the attention of the public online. The teen, who speaks both English and Slovenian, is currently in his freshman year at New York University.

He grew up in the family’s lavish penthouse in Manhattan and, while Trump’s older children – Trump Jr, Ivanka, Eric and Tiffany – played more public roles in his presidency, Barron largely stayed out of the limelight – up until now.

How tall is Barron Trump?

There is actually much confusion about Barron’s exact height, as Trump has claimed different figures. But it is believed the teen stands at 6ft 7in – much taller than his father at 6ft 3in. Many took to social media to comment on his height today, with one person writing: “Barron Trump may very well be just three normal height humans stacked on top of one another.”

Another said: “My goodness. Barron Trump is twice his height as eight years ago.” And a third wrote on X, formerly Twitter: “Where the hell did Barron Trump get them damn height genes.”

Trump revealed earlier this year that his son’s height can be attributed to his late grandmother’s cooking. He praised Melania’s mother, Amalija, for her incredible food. “Boy, did she take care of Barron,” Trump said from his campaign headquarters. “That’s how he got so tall – he only ate her food.”

Trump went on to say: “I said, ‘You’re gonna be a basketball player’. He said, ‘Well I like soccer Dad, actually’. I thought… ‘At your height, I like basketball better’ – but you can’t talk them into everything.”

On Tuesday, Barron was spotted hunched over a voting booth casting his vote for his dad. The tall teenager filled out his ballot as he was pictured by his mum Melania, 54, who shared the snap on X. The former fashion model wrote: “Voted for the first time – for his dad!” She added hashtags saying “18 years old,” “presidential election,” and “proud.”

Barron was frequently reported to be a driving force behind his dad’s appearances on podcasts and YouTube channels aimed at young men during the politician’s campaign. He has been described by his mum as her “little Donald” and became the first young son to move into the White House since JFK Jr. lived there in the early 1960s.
