Donald Trump declared victory with a passionate speech at Repbulican HQ in Florida – but the Republican candidate wasn’t the only one capturing the attention of viewers.
It was his youngest son Barron who people could not help noticing this morning.
The 18-year-old stood beside Melania suited and booted, with many commenting on just how tall he is.
Barron towered over his mum and at points, viewers said he was so tall he was “out of the TV frame”.
“Barron Trump is like….what…6’8″ now??” one said.
Another said: “God damn. Barron Trump is tall AF.”
Eager eyed viewers have been rushing to X (formerly Twitter) to comment on the 18-year-old’s considerable 6ft 7in frame with many believing he should take up a career in basketball.
One X user said: “My goodness. Barron Trump is twice his height as eight years ago.
“His mother said that his first time voting was today and it was for his father’s presidency.”
“Can we get Barron Trump on the NYU basketball team?” one said.
Whilst another hilariously added: “Barron Trump just staggers me with his height. One day he will be the god king emperor of the USA.”
Donald Trump thanked his “amazing children” as he addressed his jubilant supporters after declaring victory in Florida today.
While discussing family at a campaign stop earlier this week in Des Moines, Iowa, Trump lifted the lid on the secret to his son’s impressive height.
Trump attributed Barron’s stature to Melania’s late mother, Amalija Knavs, and her cooking skills.
Trump mused over his prospects in basketball, recounting: “That’s how he got so tall, he only ate her food. I said you’re gonna be a basketball player. He said, well ‘I like soccer dad’, actually. I thought… at your height, I like basketball better but you can’t talk them into everything.'”
