Generally due to bone loss, most people get shorter as they get older. I used to be 6-feet tall but at 61 years old, I've shrunk to 5-11.

Barron, of course, is going through his teenage growth spurts and is taller than his (alleged) father. I think the OP is referring to that.

He's a good-looking kid as far as the family goes. Like Tiffany and Eric, he has that smallish Trump pie-hole, so he's obviously related. I don't think Ivanka looks anything like her father, though.

unattractive, decrepit man and a son who can't make him any money yet. In other words, he is too young to exploit and too much in need of a father figure to be interesting to the old geezer. Trump has no interest in being a nurturing parent or even a role model.

The man should have been sterilized a long time ago. He never should have been allowed to have children. He just raises them to be as fucked up as he is. Heartless, soulless, greedy and dishonest. If only this family could be stopped from breeding.

I think it's hilarious, that here's a 70+ year old man, father of a teenager, who is TALLER than he is, who actually HAS A REAL TAN, who has MORE HAIR THAN HIS 'FATHER' who isn't on a combination of god-knows how many different drugs to keep his attention more than 5 minutes. Where the elder dump has issues keeping his weight/height 'unknown', can be seen 'tilting' at the wind because of this shoe-lifts, gut hanging out front because who knows what kind of diet this individual ingests continually, Barron is now taller, and obviously in much better physical condition. While I'm certain dump sees Barron as a threat more than anything to his 'popularity'...

His height must come from Malaria's side of the family, because Shithead Jr. and Sloth aren't that tall.

EDIT: Never mind. Apparently Eric actually is taller than his asswipe father. Never would have thought of him being that tall. I guess Junior got the short end of the stick in terms of height, though he'd be a very little man no matter how tall he is.

More than any other modern era (period of photos of first family - long before the internet age), I can't remember a child in the White House, who had so few photos/documentation of any affection between the child and the father/President (yep we haven't yet had a Mother/President).

At 13, he's of course finding his own identity - and that includes his political identity.

The Orange Oaf knows his son knows he's a cheap copy of Mussolini - and that the public will soon know Barron's opinions from the young man himself.

Again, just a guess.

I wouldn't be surprised if young Barron loathes just about everything about his fat beast of a father.

If Trump mistreats Melania in front of him (and he almost certainly does), that alone would do it.

That Trump and Melania sleep separately, and rarely see each other has been reported many times, as has the fact that Barron lives with his mother,

Trump is fair game, and I am on his case.

All it says about Barron are simple facts - he's young, and taller than his dad. His existence is not meant to be not mentioned. Trump mentioned him - that's the point.

Barron is not being criticized in any way. There is no "punching down" or attacking him. It's criticizing the father.

I saw pictures of trump when he was much younger and he was not ugly then. I truly believe it is all of the hate and sickness he has stored into that body is what makes him ugly. Vile hate does not just affect your personality it affects your physical features.

Barron has either not yet had enough hate pumped into him to get daddy's looks or he is escaping it so far.

I see every bit of trump in Ivanka and Junior because they both have the vile hate that has been pumped into them oozing from the pours of their skin.

Tiffany looks to me like she DID escape the vile hate. I hope that remains so in the future.

I have no opinion of Eric except for his disregard for animals but we do not hear much about him or see much of him. His features are not pleasant but he still does not look as bad as trump, ivanka, and junior.

Trump's other sons are awful. They are ugly and stupid.

But Barron is tall and handsome and he might even have a soul.

Trump probably is afraid of what he is becoming.

as well. I realize that she's probably in heels, but Donny most likely has lifts in his shoes.

She's listed at 5'11" so I'm thinking he's probably 5'11" to 6'0" at best.
