Internet goes wild over Trump’s teen son

There was plenty to talk about during the US election night – but one detail about 18-year-old Barron Trump left viewers staggered.

The internet has gone into meltdown over Barron Trump’s height after he joined his mother and father on stage during election night.

The family appeared together during Republican victory celebrations at the Mar-a-Lago estate, with 18-year-old college student Barron towering over his parents, Donald and Melania.

It was an impressive feat, given that Mr Trump is 6ft 3 inches, making him one of the tallest presidents in history, and his wife is 5ft 9.

Their son is believed to be around 6ft 9.

“Barron Trump is so freaking tall, wow!” one user wrote on X.

Another said: “Barron Trump is like … what … 6’8″ now??”

Publicity-shy Barron even had a rare grin for the cameras as he posed alongside his extended family, following his father’s stunning return to the White House.

Joking about his son’s size, Mr Trump blamed his late mother-in-law for playing a part.

“They’re great people, great parents to all of us really. Great parents, but also to Barron. Boy did she take care of Barron,” he said.

“That’s how he got so tall – he only ate her food.”

While Barron has kept a low profile during his father’s three presidential runs, ABC News reports he encouraged the presidential candidate to appear on podcasts popular with Gen Z and millennial men, including that of YouTuber and wrester, Logan Paul.

Meanwhile, Mr Trump opened up to reporters about his “wise” youngest child’s advice.

He said Barron had told him: “‘Dad, take it easy, now. You just take it easy dad, all right? You don’t have to go too much here’ … He gives me good – he’s very wise.”
