When Barron Trump was just hitting his growth spurt, one journalist claimed it was a point of contention between the teenager and Donald Trump. “He’s jealous of everyone’s height. He never lets himself be in a photograph with someone taller than he is,” journalist Michael Wolff said while appearing on MSNBC in June 2019. “Height is his — is one of his techniques,” Wolff added about the then-president. As Barron grew taller, however, Donald could not stop talking about his son’s height.
Barron’s public appearance turned heads in July 2021 when he was photographed walking in New York alongside Melania Trump. The snaps showed the then-15-year-old towering over his 5-foot-11-inch mother — who wore heels. A month earlier, Donald fawned over his son’s impressive height while addressing a crowd in North Carolina. “Barron is 6-foot-7, can you believe it? And he’s 15,” the real estate mogul said, per the New York Post. “Eric [Trump] is short — he’s only 6-foot-6,” Donald jokingly said.
Donald has used any occasion to shoe-horn in the mention of Barron’s height. After the death of Melania’s mother, he spoke about the teenager’s relationship with his grandmother while addressing a crowd in Des Moines. “Great parents, but also to Barron. Boy, did she take care of Barron. That’s how he got so tall, he only ate her food,” Donald said in January 2024 (via the Daily Mail). Barron’s staggering height may be clear, but the true height of Donald has led to multiple viral moments that claimed he lied about his stature.
