Fans are stunned by Barron Trump’s noticeable transformation following the U.S. election.

The internet is abuzz with reactions to Barron Trump, who captured attention on election night as he towered over his father and siblings.

Fans were amazed at the transformation of the youngest Trump, who, at 18, has grown significantly since his last public appearance four years ago, evolving from a teenager into a towering young adult. Standing at around 6-foot-7, Barron now surpasses his father, Donald Trump, who, at 6-foot-3, ranks among the tallest U.S. presidents, behind Lyndon Johnson and Abraham Lincoln.

It’s no surprise that Trump’s children are tall, but Barron has now become the tallest of them all. Born to Donald and Melania on March 20, 2006, he’s significantly younger than his half-siblings: Donald Jr. (46), Ivanka (42), Eric (40), and Tiffany (30), the latter standing at 5-foot-8. Even by age 15, Barron was already towering over both his father and mother, Melania, who is 5-foot-11.

“Barron is 6-foot-7, can you believe it? And he’s only 15,” Trump previously remarked, humorously calling Eric “short” in comparison at 6-foot-6.

Now, as a freshman at New York University’s Stern School of Business, Barron is described by his father as having a “high aptitude.” Trump shared with the Daily Mail that Barron, who was accepted to several colleges, chose Stern for its strong business program.

On November 6, after casting his first vote for his father, Barron joined his family on stage at Mar-a-Lago, watching his dad celebrate his victory. Known for shying away from the spotlight, Barron’s rare public appearance—ahead of both parents in height—was a striking moment for viewers.

Trump humorously attributed his son Barron’s impressive height to his late mother-in-law, Amalija Knavs, who passed away in January 2024. “She was an incredible person, a wonderful mother to all of us, especially to Barron. She really looked after him,” Trump said on election night. “That’s why he’s so tall—he only ate her cooking.”

Calling Barron “so tall” hardly covers it, as the young man has had a tremendous growth spurt since his last public appearance. Estimated to be around 6-foot-9, Barron’s towering height has stunned fans.

One surprised commenter tweeted, “Barron is now so tall that photos of him look photoshopped.” Another added, “If there’s one way it’s definitely not 2016 again, it’s that Barron Trump is now nearly 7 feet tall.”

A third joked, “Barron Trump may actually be three average-height people stacked on top of each other.”

Meanwhile, some suggest Barron should swap his focus from business to basketball. One commenter joked, “At 6-foot-9, Barron Trump, son of Donald Trump, might just catch the attention of the Washington Wizards for an NBA draft pick.”

Another added, “D**, Barron Trump’s like 7 feet tall! He needs to leave the stage and start HOOPING.”*

It seems Donald Trump isn’t opposed to the idea of basketball for his son. Speaking to reporters on November 6, he shared a conversation with Barron: “I told him, ‘You’re going to be a basketball player,’ but he said, ‘Actually, I like soccer, Dad.’”

Trump laughed, adding, “I thought…at your height…I’d prefer basketball, but you can’t win them all.”
