Once again, former President Donald Trump is making headlines, and this time, his son, Barron Trump, has found himself at the center of attention. Donald expanded his family to five in 2005 when his third wife, Melania Trump, gave birth to Barron. However, speculation has been circulating regarding a potential grudge harbored by Donald towards Barron, according to a report by Nicki Swift.
Journalist Michael Wolff, in his book titled “Siege: Trump Under Fire,” alleged that Donald harbors jealousy towards Barron’s height. This sentiment has reportedly strained the relationship between the two, resulting in a tense dynamic. While Wolff’s assertions lack confirmation, recent remarks made by Donald have sparked significant attention regarding his son Barron.
In a recent appearance on the Moms for America podcast, Donald discussed his wife, Melania, and commended her parenting abilities when it came to Barron. Additionally, the former President highlighted Barron’s height and other noteworthy aspects about the teenager during the podcast. He said, “He’s a tall guy, very tall… I’d say 6’8. He’s a great young man. Very good student. And I think he’s doing a good job, Barron. I think he’s doing a very good job.”
As reported by MSN, Donald’s most recent interview surfaces just a few months after his previous disclosure regarding aspects of his family life, particularly shedding light on the college aspirations of the youngest member of the Trump family. “He’s a good student—a great student, actually. We are thinking about him going to Wharton. Those are the things we are talking about right now,” the former President said.
It appears that Donald has been preoccupied with Barron’s height for quite some time. From the age of 12, Barron consistently surpassed Donald in height. According to various reports, in April of this year, Donald also referenced Barron’s height while recounting his children’s resilience in the face of challenges following his indictment on federal charges. During this discussion, Donald specifically praised Barron for being both tall and intelligent.
Over the years, media attention has consistently focused on Trump’s familial ties, shedding light on his interactions with his spouse and other children. Nevertheless, Barron remains a relatively low-profile figure within the Trump clan. As suggested by The List, this could be attributed to the notable age disparity between Barron and his other siblings. Barron was transitioning into adolescence when his father was elected, presenting a considerable contrast in life stages, potentially contributing to his lower profile in the public eye.
Despite his political endeavors and extensive business pursuits, Donald has asserted his involvement in the upbringing of his youngest son. “I’ve always prided myself on being a good father,” he said in an interview. Melania also mentioned that Barron cherished the moments he could share with his father whenever his busy schedule permitted. “They go alone for dinner, one-on-one. They play golf together. He looks forward to that,” she shared.
