How tall is Barron Trump, as 18-year-old towers over Republican dad

On election night in Florida, Donald Trump delivered a speech in which he proclaimed himself the victor of the 2024 presidential election, referring to it as a “remarkable triumph for the American public.”

Although this moment will be remembered in the history of American politics, many spectators were focused on a different member of the Trump family: Barron, who is 18 years old.

Most of us recall Barron as the reserved 10-year-old who trailed behind his dad during the well-known 2016 presidential campaign.

On Tuesday night, the newly turned 18-year-old caught everyone's attention as he loomed over both his father's team and his family members, including his mother Melania and half-sister Ivanka, during an election night gathering in Florida. Barron’s impressive height really set him apart from those around him.

While his father is considered tall at 6 feet 2 inches, Barron surpasses him with a height of 6 feet 7 inches.

At a campaign rally in Iowa in January, Mr. Trump shared with the audience that he owed his youngest son Barron's height to his late mother-in-law, Amalija Knavs. “She really looked after Barron... That’s why he’s so tall – he only ate her cooking,” he remarked.

He reminisced about a conversation he had with Barron, saying, "I told him, 'You're going to become a basketball player.' To which he replied, 'Actually, Dad, I prefer soccer.'"

"I used to think that at your height, basketball would be your favorite sport, but you can't convince everyone to like the same things."

Mr. Trump is poised to take office as the 47th president of the United States, surpassing his rival Kamala Harris.
