What did former president Donald Trump have to say while comparing two of his sons? And what
does social media think Barron Trump's next moves should be? Keep watching to find out!
The family and loved ones of Ivana Trump — the ex-wife of former president Donald Trump —
gathered at the St. Vincent Ferrer Roman Catholic Church in Manhattan to celebrate her life.
The 73-year-old socialite, who famously coined the nickname
"The Donald," passed away suddenly at age 73 due to "blunt impact injuries of the torso"
caused by an accidental fall, according to the New York Post.
Among the prominent mourners attending her glamorous send-off were the three children
she shared with Donald, including Eric Trump, who praised his mother as, quote "the embodiment of
the American dream" during an emotional speech at the service for her on the Upper East Side.
While Ivana's only daughter, Ivanka Trump, remembered her as a "trailblazer," and her
eldest son Donald Trump Jr.'s comments calling her "fearless and independent" left the church in
tears, it may have been the former president's youngest son who turned the most heads.
"Barron Trump. Did you ever hear of Barron Trump?"
As the famous family crowded on the steps of the church for a group photo,
one thing became immediately clear — 16-year-old Barron Trump,
the only child of Donald and Melania Trump, is a seriously tall teen. The mammoth minor stood
at 6'7” after turning 15 last year, dwarfing his 5'11” mom, according to the New York Post.
"He's a rather tall young man. He's tall."
The giant boy's stunning height left more than a few jaws dropped on Twitter,
with one user writing,
"I'm still not over how tall Barron Trump is. Get that kid in the NBA."
Another simply joked,
"I bet Barron Trump is like 10'9" tall by now."
Not surprisingly, after people realized just how tall the former first son is,
an old photo taken during a Mother's Day celebration in May 2021 — in which Barron
looms over a woman as he poses with her – began making the rounds online.
Barron's impressive height has also been addressed in the past. TMZ wrote that photos
at the time showed how Barron looked to be taller than his father way back in 2019,
when he was only 12 years old. Additionally, Donald publicly spoke of his youngest son's
growth spurt in 2021 at a G.O.P. event in North Carolina, according to the New York Post.
"Barron is 6-foot-7, can you believe it? And he's 15."
Trump then jokingly compared Barron's height to that of one of his other children.
"And Eric is short — he's only 6-foot-6."
According to The Sun, Barron now standing at 6'7” has resulted in him being the
tallest child of the Trump family; Ivanka reportedly stands at 5'11", Tiffany is 5'8”,
while Barron's other siblings, Eric and Donald Jr., are 6'6” and 6'1”.
While some people on Twitter have implied that Barron's height could point toward a
basketball career, it looks as though his interests are in another sport.
In a 2018 interview at Liberty University, Melania Trump spoke a little about Barron's interests.
"He's all into sport. So he's a great athlete."
The Sun then went on to note that Barron had begun to play soccer
and had been seen donning an Arsenal Football Club shirt at the White House.
That same year, the publication also reported that Barron even got to meet one of his favorite soccer
stars, Wayne Rooney of D.C. United. This reportedly took place when Rooney attended
a holiday gathering at the White House after receiving a personal invite from Donald Trump.
A video posted to Twitter in June 2022 showcases Barron playing in a soccer
match and showing off some skills as he passes the ball to a teammate. The tweet
also compared Barron's soccer prowess to former pro soccer player, Peter Crouch.
Time will tell what Barron will pursue in the future,
however, as the teen is still a student at Oxbridge Academy.
"Barron Trump. A legend."
