Donald and Melania Trump’s only son, Barron, is definitely a tall piece of real estate, and apparently dear old Dad feels a bit insecure when being pictured next to him.
In a recent interview with social media’s Logan Paul for his YouTube page IMPAULSIVE, Trump spoke about his young son, who towers over his father. Trump is 6’2″ is purportedly jealous of Barron’s lanky 6’9″ towering height. In the interview with Paul, he definitely said he does not like to be pictured with 18-year-old Barron.
“He’s a big boy. Six foot 9. I couldn’t get him to play basketball. He plays soccer, he’s a good athlete.” (and by the way, Barron is 6’7″. Trump loves to keep upping his height, and no doubt he will soon be saying Barron is 7′ tall, just watch.)
“I say, Barron, I don’t want to take a picture next to you,” he said, referring to the young man’s height.
The rumor that Trump dislikes being pictured next to his son because it obviously makes him appear shorter, has been making its way across media circles for nearly five years, according to The Hindustan Times. Apparently it all started when Barron was 12. Author Michael Wolff talked about the situation while promoting his 2019 book Siege: Trump Under Fire and he discussed it in an interview with Lawrence O’Donnell.
Trump, Wolff said, is envious of every person’s height and doesn’t allow himself to be pictured with someone who’s taller than he is.
Maybe we ought to make him a fighter,” the ex-President, but this was bad news to Paul, a professional wrestler, and he cut Trump off, saying “No, no.”
Barron, who graduated from high school in June, is likely weighing his options regarding college but it hasn’t been disclosed which college he will be attending.
