In 2018, Barron Trump’s height garnered even more attention. That August, his growth spurt was the subject of an Inside Edition report. The outlet observed that the former first son had almost become the same height as Donald Trump during a three-month break from appearing in public with his family. Three months later, Hollywood Life suggested that Barron had possibly matched his dad’s measurements, basing this conjecture on photographs of the Trumps’ post-Thanksgiving arrival in D.C. So, if the webloid was correct, then how tall was 12-year-old Barron at the time? Well, Politico discovered that Donald’s driver’s license lists his height as 6-foot-2. However, one of the ex-president’s doctors has said that he’s an inch taller.

In his book “Seige: Trump Under Fire,” Michael Wolff claims that Donald is so obsessed with being taller than everyone around him that he started cracking cruel jokes about wanting to stunt Barron’s growth in 2018. Wolff recalls that Barron and Donald’s father-son relationship was also beginning to deteriorate around that time. “This took the form of Trump ignoring his son when they had to be together,” Wolff writes. “Trump also went out of his way to avoid any situation where he might have to encounter him.” But as evidenced by Donald’s behavior in the years to come, he’d find his son’s height impossible to ignore.
