Barron Trump, the youngest member of the Trump family, drew attention on election night as he appeared alongside his family, noticeably taller than his father. Now 18 years old, Barron has grown into an impressive 6-foot-7, surpassing his father’s 6-foot-3 frame. Donald Trump humorously remarked on Barron’s height, saying, “Barron is 6-foot-7… and he’s only 15.”
This fall, Barron began his freshman year at New York University’s Stern School of Business, a milestone his father proudly discussed, highlighting Barron’s “high aptitude” and success in securing college offers. Donald Trump expressed pride in his son’s accomplishments, noting that Barron is no longer a child.
Barron’s rare public appearance on election night at Mar-a-Lago caught the attention of social media, with many reacting to his extraordinary height. Some joked that Barron might have a future in the NBA, while others noted how different he looked compared to previous years.
Donald Trump also humorously speculated about Barron’s potential basketball career, recalling a conversation where he suggested his son play basketball due to his height. Barron, however, expressed his preference for soccer, adding another layer to his growing public presence and future possibilities.
