Picture of Barron Trump next to his father goes viral: ‘Get a ball in his hands’
The average male stops growing around age 18, so Barron Trump may be done.
According to widespread reports, the kid is six foot seven, already taller than some Miami Heat players, including 305 legend Dwyane Wade.
The former first son hass been towering over his parents, Donald and Melania Trump, for a while now.
Though rarely in the spotlight during Trump’s presidency, Barron was seen in widely shared pictures in January at his maternal grandmother’s funeral in January. He’s by far the tallest member in the family.
A few days before, at his caucus victory in Iowa, Trump joked that his late mother-in-law’s cooking is what spurred his son’s growth.
“He only ate her food,” the presumptive GOP nominee told the crowd.
But in a recent photo taken at a fundraising event at Mar a Lago in Palm Beach earlier this week, you can see the high school senior’s impressive height on full display. He seems as if he’s sprouted even more in just a few months.
Local UFC fighter Colby Covington posted an Instagram snap posing with Barron, along with his 77-year-old father, who is said to be six foot two. The picture soon went viral.
The majority of Covington’s commenters couldn’t ignore the, um, giraffe, in the room.
“For the love of God get a ball in his hands.”
“Holy s---! How tall is his son?”
“Junior should be hoopin’.”
Despite what the e-peanut gallery thinks, an NBA career does not appear to be in the cards: Barron apparently likes a different sport.
“He said, ‘Well, I like soccer, actually,’” the ex POTUS told the aforementioned Iowa crowd in January. “You can’t talk them into everything.”
