Last US election: Trump will choose his team in a few days – as Putin calls it “openly”; Biden addresses nation after Democratic disaster | US News

When Donald Trump took the stage in Florida yesterday to declare himself America’s 47th president, everyone on the internet thought one thing…

How tall is Barron Trump?

The 18-year-old literally towered over his father, who was busy celebrating his “incredible victory” over Kamala Harris in the presidential election.

“Barron Trump may just be three normal-sized people stacked on top of each other,” one person wrote on X.

“Where the hell did Barron Trump get those damn height genes,” another asked.

Barron is the only child of President-elect Trump and his wife Melania and is 6 feet 3 inches tall, according to some online sources.

Others have estimated him at a more moderate 6’1″, although even at that height he is still much taller than his 6’1″ father.

He also dwarfs all of his siblings, despite being the youngest of the five Trump offspring.

Compare images of Barron from his first public appearances alongside his father as a 10-year-old in 2016 to today and the difference is astounding.

Trump has previously revealed the secret behind his son’s impressive height, saying it was Melania’s mother Amalija Knavs’ cooking that made him so tall.

“Boy, did she take care of Barron?” he said. “That’s how he got so big – he just ate their food.”

“I said, ‘You’re going to be a basketball player,'” he recalled of a conversation with Barron. “He said, ‘Actually, I like football, Dad’.”

“I thought… I like basketball better at your level, but you can’t talk them into everything.”

Before potentially entering the world of sports, Barron is credited with being instrumental in helping his father appeal to younger voters.

According to Jason Miller, a senior adviser to Trump, Barron was the architect of his father’s podcast strategy.

Trump sat down with influential, popular podcasters Joe Rogan, Theo Von and Logan Paul during the campaign to try to win over the so-called “bro vote.”

“Barron was very involved in selecting or recommending a number of the podcasts that we should do,” Miller said.

“I have to tell you, hats off to the young man. Every single recommendation he has received has turned out to be absolute review gold that has broken the Internet. He did a great job.”

According to his mother’s office, Barron turned down the chance to serve as a delegate to the Republican National Convention earlier this year on his father’s behalf.

As a delegate, Barron would have had to stand on the convention floor and join the Florida delegation to formally nominate his father.

It is unclear whether Barron will have an official role in the second Trump presidency.

During his first term, Trump handed several jobs to family members, including giving senior advisory roles to his daughter Ivanka and son-in-law Jared Kushner.
