Suddenly, Barron Trump is very tall, and he's strangely funny
Barron Trump, the only son of Donald and Melania Trump together, has done his best to stay out of the spotlight. After being (unfairly, TBH) bullied Trump won the election, Barron kept it very low, only appearing on very rare occasions with his mother and father. But after a recent photo of the family, people can't help but laugh at how taller Barron is than Trump.
How tall is Barron Trump now?
Trump's photo shows Barron, now 14, dominating his parents (according to Business Insider, Barron was 6'3 in January 2020), as if he were wearing stilts. In fact, he has been jokingly compared to SpongeBob, who in one episode disguised himself and clearly wears stilts.
As funny as the photo is, Barron looks so tall because he's probably only had one growth spurt - he's literally become a teenager in the last couple of years. And he's probably taller than Trump because Trump is 73 and shrank over time.

Twitter comments are pretty much everywhere on the photo. Some find it funny, others are condemning the original poster for mocking a 14-year-old, and some supporters of the super right are using it as an excuse for being extremely hateful.
Barron Donald Trump's real son?
Some Twitter users wonder if this means Donald Trump isn't Barron's real father, as his sons are typically just as tall, if not taller than their fathers. Considering that Barron didn't exactly get his height from Melania, people are very curious. But as dramatic as he is, he's probably Donald's biological son (and if you look at a comparison between the two, especially when Trump was younger, the two look similar).

Plus, it's not really our place to get involved in Melania and Trump's personal affairs, however POTUS the split is.
Do you see the similarity? This was when Barron was a little younger. It is true that Barron luckily looks more like Melania than Trump.
Either way, this isn't the first time people have joked about how tall Barron is. In January of this year, retail outlets around the world were commenting on how Barron is the real 'Trump Tower'.

I hope Barron has adapted to his life in the White House. Maybe he won't even have to endure it for too long!
