If Donald Trump is to be believed, Barron Trump’s head is still inching upward. While speaking to a crowd of supporters in North Carolina in 2021, Donald stated that then-15-year-old Barron was 6-foot-7. The presidential hopeful then reminded everyone that he has another son who is taller than him. “Eric is short — he’s only 6-foot-6,” he quipped, per the New York Post. This was further proof that Donald is preoccupied with the height of other people in his orbit.
In a November 2023 “Moms of America” interview, Donald gave a different measurement when marveling over Barron’s tallness: 6 feet, 8 inches. It seems that Barron still was not finished growing, as Donald claimed during his “Impaulsive” interview that his son had reached the 6-foot-9 mark. By that time, Barron was a confident 18-year-old. According to Healthline, getting taller beyond this age is unusual but not impossible; guys might gain a little extra height, with their growth finally stopping when they’re young twenty-somethings. Of course, certain medical conditions can cause abnormal growth.
While Donald might be a bit jealous of Barron’s height, one thing is for certain: The dad isn’t downplaying it to make himself feel better about not being the family’s true Trump tower. Meanwhile, Barron’s favorite boxer thinks that the teen’s brains, not his build, are what make him truly special. On the “PBD Podcast,” Mike Tyson said of Barron, “This guy is on top of his game, intellectually.” (Are you taking notes, Donald?)
