Barron Trump, 13, Towers Over Donald & Melania While Arriving In DC After 2 Week Vacation

[mahatmakanejeeves]

When I saw the video of the Trumps walking away from the helicopter, I wondered who was the basketball player traveling along with them. Then I figured it out.

It seems he's been growing for quite some time: I just saw Barron Trump (a rarity it seems).

I'm hopeful that Barron will turn out okay. I'm not interested in picking on him, just noticing how much he's grown.

Barron Trump, 13, Towers Over Donald & Melania While Arriving In DC After 2 Week Vacation

POLITICAL NEWS EDITOR

Barron Trump looked taller than ever when pictured with his parents arriving at the White House, to the point where he made them look short. The First Son is only 13 years old.

Barron Trump is growing like a weed! The youngest son of President Donald Trump, whom he shares with his wife, First Lady Melania Trump, is now towering over his parents. And, Barron is only 13 years old. It’s kind of crazy how fast he’s grown, and how tall he is now, considering his parents’ heights. The president stands at 6′3″, and Melania, a former fashion model, is 5′11″. In a pic of the first family exiting Marine One at the White House, which you can see below, she’s also wearing sky-high, floral Christian Louboutin stilettos. Barron’s just wearing a pair of Nikes.

[hlthe2b]

1. I hold out hope Barron ends up as a kind, empthetic person--unlike the rest of his family

though it is hard to imagine how.

[Dennis Donovan]

8. Like Ron Reagan or Patti Davis

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

10. He might turn out not to be awful; he doesn't spend much time

with his foul old man. Rumor has it that he doesn't live in the WH at all, but in a house in Maryland with Malaria and his grandparents.

[Golden Raisin]

119. I sort of hope he is in Maryland and away from his father

as much as possible. My father was a narcissist and it's a lot for a young kid to handle --- none of it good.

[woodsprite]

19. Yup. Handsome boy. Hope he turns out much better than anyone in the rest of his family. nt

[blueinredohio]

55. I also think he's very handsome.

But that doesn't look like Melania to me.

[MustLoveBeagles]

123. I hope so too

[RobinA]

34. I Dunno...

I feel so sorry for that kid, but he has the same family look of misery on his face that his parents do.

[JI7]

125. one reason i think he may be better is the story of the Dog

of course this involves cruelty on Trump's part but Barron's reaction to it shows someone who has empathy.

Barron was promised a dog if Trump won the election so Trump got a picture of a dog to show to Barron to make him think that was going to be his dog. Barron started crying(happy tears) when he saw the pic and the dog he thought would be his. but of course asshole trump was just being an asshole and made him think for a moment he would have the dog before telling him he isn't going to get him.

[cwydro]

139. And where did this story come from?

DU lore?

[Me.]

2. A Former Fashion Model Indeed

[HipChick]

35. Indeed...

What was she modelling beside her birthday suit?

[keithbvadu2]

120. Escort type model

[Hotler]

3. Now there is a happy family.

Hopefully Baron is learning how not to be an asshole and grows up to be a nice guy.

[Dennis Donovan]

4. Kid's going to have to change his name come 2021...

[mahatmakanejeeves]

6. He has to wait until he's 18. That's another five years. NT

[Dennis Donovan]

11. Not if his mom changes her last name first

[Delmette2.0]

32. You are right.

I took back my birth name and a year later my son changed his last name. He was 15 and had asked to change his name 3 years earlier.

[NewJeffCT]

72. before the 2016 elections

I had speculated here on DU that I thought Melania was going to quietly divorce Donny in early 2017 after he had lost the election. I'm sorry I was wrong, but I think if donny loses next year, it will happen.

[Dennis Donovan]

74. And that was before Stormy became news.

I also think 2021 is when Melania bolts.

[rsdsharp]

43. It depends on state law.

In Iowa, you can change your name at age 14.

(At least you could. I haven't done the research since my then stepdaughter was 14.)

[trueblue2007]

88. he will change his name to ::::: JOHN SMITH

NORMAL NAME.

[TeamPooka]

141. John Barron

[mitch96]

107. I'm voting for Baron Von tRump name change.. ;)

m

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

5. Spanky looks like his usual cheerful self.

It probably fries his orange ass that his kid is taller than he is.

[smirkymonkey]

18. I'm sure he is insanely jealous of the kid.

He's taller, thinner, much younger, better looking, and by all appearances, not a "killer". He seems like a gentle type, which I am sure infuriates Trump to no end. People might actually genuinely like him for his personality, unlike his father, who doesn't have a friend in the world.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

12. He just looks sad or bored to me.

I don't know how you can detect autism from his face, but there does seem to be something wrong with his right hand. An injury of some kind?

[GoCubsGo]

36. I think he just has really long fingers.

Between the way he has his hand curled, and the lighting, it does look odd. It's possible the kid has Marfan's Syndrome, which some speculate made Abraham Lincoln grow so tall and lanky, but he's probably just tall and lanky because of the genetics lottery.

[LiberalArkie]

51. He is stimming.

We tend to sprout up faster than most NT's.

I don't think the Trumps will be able too change him to anything he is not meant to be. Probably not another Eric or Donald.

[shanti]

61. It's the lack of eye contact

Very much an autistic trait. I think he's on the spectrum, and have always thought such.

[cwydro]

99. Sure.

I look like that in most of my teenage pics.

Hated having my pic taken. Can’t imagine people in my face all the time as they are to this poor kid.

Why is it so important to certain people here to believe he’s autistic? Curious.

[former9thward]

89. He looks like 99.9999% of teenagers I have ever seen.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

116. Yup. Awkward, sullen and bored.

But he has the misfortune of also having the world's most disgusting father.

[lanlady]

102. Bored? After spending 2 weeks at an old man's country club with dear old mom and dad?

Perish the thought! Why, any young teenager would leap at the chance to pass the end of summer watching daddy ride around in a golf cart.

[cwydro]

14. "The autism is all over his face?"

What the everloving fuck?

[Botany]

20. One of my best friends has an autistic child

and one of the symptoms (by no means the only one) is the emotionless face and not
having eye contact.

I did not mean my post to sound cruel to people with autism and or to Barron Trump or
to family or friends of autistic persons.

[alittlelark]

38. I think the same when I see pics of him

My best friends daughter is autistic.

[cwydro]

41. Show me one damn link that verifies he is autistic.

So sick of DU “diagnoses.”

[Beringia]

52. I had a therapist once diagnose a person I knew as autistic

because they freaked out on vacations. LOL.

[sammythecat]

122. yeah, me too eom

[FakeNoose]

44. You can't tell by a few still pictures

I've seen lots of pix where Barron looked straight into the camera.

They probably told him to look down and don't engage the "nasty media folks." As a rule the reporters aren't supposed to address any questions to the children anyway. Photos are only allowed when the parents say so. That's been a long-standing tradition of the White House press corps.

[cwydro]

53. I know, not sure what this fixation of some DUers is.

Obviously they consider it an insult. Wrong on so many levels.

[2020Junker]

62. It's always something wrong

Instead of a more obvious explanation - shyness. We don't know his personality. We know Melania is very attached and protective of him. He's probably just a shy kid who isn't comfortable in the spotlight. How many awkward thirteen year olds would be?

[USALiberal]

39. WTF, what a terrible thing to say! Nt

[Maeve]

9. The Con is NOT 6'3", but Barron might be

An honest measure would show him to be 6'1" at most.....and he can't even pretend to look happy

[GoCubsGo]

25. Yeah, and I'm skeptical that Melanoma is 5'11", too.

Perhaps in those 5" stilettos, and with that "hair bump" thing she's wearing (unless that weirdness on the top of her head is just a bad photoshop...)

If Trump is as tall as he claims, his kid is pushing 7', based on that photo. Barron looks a good half foot taller than his asshole father. 6'1" is probably being generous.

[NewJeffCT]

73. No, Trump is no way close to 6'3"

I think even 6'1" is pushing it.

Gavin Newsom is also listed at 6'3" and here he is next to Donny Dollhands after the fires last year. Trump was in work boots, and likely had lifts in them as well, knowing how he operates.

[question everything]

93. But, but, his weight spread over 6'3" will make him look svelte..

[NewJeffCT]

94. My guess

he's closer to 6'0" even and the 245 is being really generous. Probably closer to 6'0" 275

[DeminPennswoods]

136. Trump's probably not 6'3" now considering he's 72

and people are losing height at that age, but no doubt the kid is tall. Have friends of comparable heights whose son grew to 6'8".

[smirkymonkey]

13. They all look absolutely miserable.

What kind of parents take their adolescent child to a golf-club for vacation? What bores they are. They could go anywhere in the world, there are so many interesting and exciting places to visit, places that would be much more fun for a 13-year old boy, but no. Every damn vacation it's the same thing. One of his tacky golf-clubs.

He must be the most boring person on the planet and he doesn't even consider what his wife and child might like to do for vacation. It's all about him all the time.

[maryellen99]

28. I'm shocked he didn't go on the UK trip nt

[RobinA]

47. I Was Thinking This

He looks miserable because he's the only rich kid on the planet who vacationed solely in New Jersey. He's essentially an only child living with two adults who don't really know how to care for anything not themselves. I hope he has a caring nanny.

[Sanity Claws]

15. What a somber looking group!

This is how they look coming back from vacation.

Oops, so-called vacation. Can you imagine being forced to stay for two weeks at a golf resort, if you don't play golf and have gone there many times in the past? That's not a vacation. That's torture.

[FM123]

16. Poor kid, as if it wasn't bad enough to have trump as his father

author Michael Wolff said in his book that trump is a jealous father.

According to the new book Siege: Trump Under Fire by Michael Wolff, Donald Trump seems to have a fetish about height, and once complained that his son Barron was taller than him.

Trump had a “fetish” about being the tallest person in the room and when Barron hit 12 and had a growth spurt, he joked: “How do I stunt his growth?”

Wolff claims that Trump responded to the perceived challenge from his son with “hostility” and “went out of his way” to avoid him.

[Habibi]

113. Wonder how he felt about Comey's height. nt

[FM123]

114. He must have been green with envy!

[Tommy_Carcetti]

17. Run, Barron. Run as fast as you can.

Hopefully you are still young enough that your father's toxicity will not permanently scar you like his other children.

[BlueStater]

21. President Scumbag is not 6'3.

Jesus fucking Christ, stop publishing this lie.

[StarfishSaver]

22. He always looks so unhappy

Poor kid.

[Hoyt]

26. I agree. It's really sad. Although I suppose if he always looked happy, we'd wonder about him too

with that dad.

[StarfishSaver]

50. Can you imagine what his home life must be like?

[CincyDem]

23. separate the kid out from his parents just for a moment, I know it's not completely realistic but...

...he looks like a normal 13 year old kid. Certainly privledged but probably getting ready to head to high school and he's might actually have normal nervousness about that. He's really grown over the past couple years and might be struggling with the fact that he's going through shoe sizes every couple months.

It's not that I feel sorry for him but I'm actually pretty impressed that he just looks normal given the way that his life is going.

I'm going to join the "Maybe Ron Reagan" camp and hold out hope that this kid can grow up more like Tiffany that the rest of the devil spawn. Might be naive but I'm not going to condemn the kid at 13 for the sins of the father.

[Chemisse]

57. I agree. Most kids his age look somewhat miserable.

Even if they don't feel that way, it's really not cool to look overjoyed.

And the fact that Melania spends little time with the monster she's married to, bodes well for the boy. The less exposure, the better his chances of being a normal young man.

[Joe941]

133. The apple doesnt fall far from the tree, but ya...

He deserves the benefit of the doubt for now...

[Takket]

24. every picture i se eof him it looks like he is about to puke.........

can't blame him... i would too.

[underthematrix]

27. LAWD Jesus. i wish the child had gotten more of Melania's genes. He has the same

body morph as #TraitorTrump, including knock knees (eww) and it looks like he's prone to obesity.

[cwydro]

46. He definitely looks as if he could benefit from some serious exercise.

That’s a shame.

[RobinA]

48. Yeah,

Never a question who his father is!

[shanti]

65. He has his mouth too.

Poor kid. But his hair looks much better now that it's been cut around the ears. It was bordering on Trump's swoop there for awhile. He has also gained some weight.

[question everything]

29. I am curious to which school he goes

The same as Chelsea, Malia and Sasha?

[mahatmakanejeeves]

30. No. He goes to some school out in Montgomery County, Maryland. The name

escapes me right now. I think all the others went to Sidwell Friends, which is a few miles from the White House, in Northwest DC.

[A HERETIC I AM]

49. St. Andrews Episcopal, near Rockville, according to a Google search

https://www.townandcountrymag.com/society/a9595701/barron-trump-facts/

https://www.saes.org/
https://goo.gl/maps/UfuPvHT3aqDnu1Z3A


My family used to go to Christ Episcopal Church in Rockville, which is only about 3 miles away, right off Rockville Pike.

[shanti]

66. No way

would Chump send his kid to the same school as Obama's kids.

[underthematrix]

87. According to reports he tried but they wouldn't accept him.

They said they were full.

[former9thward]

91. What "reports"?

[underthematrix]

124. I think it was reported in traditional outlets like the New York Times,

Washington Post etc. This occurred probably in late November, early December 2016.

[spanone]

31. What a happy looking bunch!!!!!

[Paladin]

33. Glad to see they look so grimly unhappy. (nt)

[Floyd R. Turbo]

37. I wonder who his father is? 😏

[Chemisse]

58. I don't think there is any question.

He looks a lot like the monster did in his younger days. He was a handsome young man, as is Barron. It's hard to say that about someone who is such a despicable person, but it is objectively true.

[Ms. Toad]

105. Not objectively true.

I have not seen photos of him at any age that I would describe as handsome. That has nothing to do with his politics - I just don't find him attractive.

[irisblue]

115. Bad enough the poor kid knows his father was having sex with a porn star when he was weeks old

[JI7]

40. this is great, i heard trump is jealous of him for being so much taller

than him and doesn't line being seen next to him.

[virgogal]

59. Where on earth did you hear that?

[shanti]

68. See post #16 upthread n/t

[virgogal]

84. Thanks.

[Turin_C3PO]

82. Why on earth would that surprise you???

We know about Donald’s despicable traits, including jealousy. It’s very likely he’s jealous of Barron.

[virgogal]

86. Who said I was surprised?

[A HERETIC I AM]

42. This made me do a Google image search for "Obama and his daughters"

Now I'm all sad and melancholy and stuff.


You never see this kind of genuine affection and love from Trumpy;








And this. I put up a thread about this shot when it was first published. Look at it carefully, and understand what is going on. The President of the United States is taking time out of his incredibly busy day to sit quietly on a swingset and listen to his daughter.



Can you imagine Trumpy ever doing that for ANY of his children? Ever?

[Beringia]

45. I think he is quite a beautiful child

I hope Melania's love nourishes him enough to thrive in the world.

[Chemisse]

60. He is, strikingly so.

He resembles Trump's mother.

?resize=865,452

[Beringia]

64. Another beauty

[smirkymonkey]

118. Are you serious?

Or was that sarcasm? I don't think she is attractive at all. And his father looks like a low-brow pimp.

[lunatica]

75. He does!

I’ve always tried to find some parental features in Barron’s face and simply couldn’t, but he definitely looks like his grandmother!

[womanofthehills]

130. In the first pic above, he looks exactly like his dad

Same lips, chin, brow. His face has the same proportions.

[uponit7771]

110. Amen, enough to know how his father treated other children

[LiberalFighter]

117. I doubt Melania has the right type of love.

[lettucebe]

54. Well now that he's taller than his father (?)

Trump will hate him with a passion. Hard to be superior looking up, eh Donny? No wonder we haven't seen photos for two years.

Though seriously, that kid is tall!

[Elwood P Dowd]

56. Trump is the same height as Obama, who I think is 6-1.

[True Blue American]

127. Obama appears taller in the picture.

[MineralMan]

63. I had an enormous growth spurt at age 13.

Suddenly, I found myself over 6' tall and skinny as a fence post. For a year, I kept tripping over my own size 12 feet and some of the other things that happened were pretty shocking, as I remember all too well.

I spend my freshman year in high school trying to hide my awkwardness and confusion from everyone. Then, by age 15, I was used to my new self and returned to my normal cheery spirit. I stopped getting taller at 6' 1.5" But, there was a year there when everything was massively screwed up. Who was I and how did I get into this body?

My poor parents were constantly having to buy me new clothes and shoes during that period.

[mercuryblues]

137. When my kids were that age

I would take them out shopping for clothes that fit them. I joked that by the time I bought the clothes and the time I got home from the store they out grew them.

[MineralMan]

138. Yes, pretty much.

[lunatica]

67. About a month ago I surmised that the reason we haven't seen Barron lately

is because he’s now taller than Trump.

I brought up a son and a nephew and the growth spurt at that age was downright scary. There simply isn’t enough food in the refrigerator to fill them up! After cooking double amounts on everything they would have heaping plates, come back for another heaping plate and then ask me if they could make themselves a sandwich.

Poor kids couldn’t keep up with their growing feet. They would trip going up the stairs, and would complain that their bones hurt which is not uncommon. It’s a scary time in some ways!

[LincolnRossiter]

69. The kid is going to be at least 6'7".

As a southerner I’m required to say that he should play ball.

Also, his parents are assholes.

[Hortensis]

126. :) 'Fraid so about the height. Quick, get the kid a ball.

[Polly Hennessey]

70. tRump is not 6'3 and I doubt Melanie is 5'11.

Factor in her four to six-inch stilettos and she clocks in at 6’2 or 6’4. Try to remember that these creatures lie about everything. Barron looks like a nice kid. I wish him well. They look miserably unhappy.

[Bettie]

71. He has the look of a kid who

is afraid to say or do anything that might offend his parents.

He never looks happy, poor kid. He looks defeated. At 13.

[Onthefly]

76. And DJT is wearing thin...

rumpled and tired.

[Submariner]

77. Can we please stop the phony Donnie-Melanie hand holding now

talk about fake...........geezus.

[comradebillyboy]

78. I wonder who the father is...

[brewens]

79. Looks like they're getting Baron started on the jacked up hairdo thing. n/t

[shanti]

96. His old style was jacked up

this new one is a change. Notice they've trimmed the sides, unlike his prior (and his father's) style. It would mess with Chump's head if Barron buzzed it, lol.

[Grasswire2]

80. I don't give a fig how he turns out. I just don't want him anywhere near power.

We see how DJTJ turned out. And Eric is no prize either. Nor Ivanka. All are capable of evil. All conspire to harm American interests in one way or another.

Why would we hope that a product of such an evil family will be anything but banished from us?

[3catwoman3]

81. Someone upthread wondered about Marfan's syndrome. A possibility.

Those with this genetic disorder are very tall, and do have unusually long fingers and toes - arachnodactyly. Wingspan (length of arms from finger tip to finger tip) can exceed height.

https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/marfan-syndrome/symptoms-causes/syc-20350782

[Mike Nelson]

83. Very sad...

... looking trio.

[harumph]

85. Probably giving him HGH - not kidding - some disreputable doctors will do it

[jpak]

90. CRISPR-CAS9!!!!!111111

[RandySF]

92. A big, tall son of an abusive father.

I hope for the best.

[Mc Mike]

95. He must be 6' 8", seeing him next to dad in that pic.

[tblue37]

97. He isn't quite as tall in the second version of the pic. Still taller than his parents, but it

seems the first version was manipulated a bit.

[LAS14]

98. Where can we see the second version? nt

[tblue37]

100. It's right below the first version in the OP. Notice, too, that his face is rounder and whiter

in the second version.

[womanofthehills]

131. In the second photo Trump is standing up taller than the first

- that's why his son looks taller.

[no_hypocrisy]

101. You *know* that Barron's height (towering over his father) has got to be driving Trump crazy.

[donkeypoofed]

143. More like he will hate that kid, for his height AND his hair!!

Spanky never even looks at the kid. And he will always he very jealous of Barron.

[book_worm]

103. He's certainly better looking than his other beevis and butthead sons.

[Volaris]

104. Why does donald look like he just got told

that he can't go to Tashi Station to pick up those Power Converters?!

If he really doesn't wanna go back to work that bad, he can quit anytime he likes (I'm pretty sure most of the country wouldn't take issue with that).

[Skittles]

106. Barron is the only Trump I like

I wish him well

[LuckyCharms]

108. He looks like he doesn't enjoy his job.

[Bengus81]

109. Hey Trump...who do you suspect?? Le Bron???

[DesertRat]

111. They look so miserable. Are they returning from a funeral or a vacation?

[keithbvadu2]

121. Hopefully, someone introduced Barron to his father.

Hopefully, someone introduced Barron to his father.

[MFM008]

128. Kid looks like hes from the

Balkans ..her side of the family.

[JI7]

129. if you see the pictures of Melania before she bought herself a new face, he looks very much like her

[DemInBuckhead]

134. This thread is the difference between us and them.

Contrast the ugliness of what the right would say about the Obama daughters with basically everyone here wishing Barron well despite his parents both being assholes.

[get the red out]

135. Teenage growth spurt

I hope Barron ends up ok, and that I live long enough to read any tell-all book he writes.

[LollyPat]

140. Lordy, he's gotten SO tall

I’m also am not a believer in bagging on kids so just noting it’s kind of good to see Barron looking like a reasonably happy teenager. He’s a nice looking kid. Looks like he might be, what? 6’5” easily. I’d bet dollars to donuts he’s already picked out a new name for himself.

[NCLefty]

142. Donald Trump breeding is a horror show.

America better learn its lesson from 1 term of a Trump. We can't afford anything more.
