Poor Barron always looks so depressed when around his father:

[tblue37]

[lagomorph777]

1. Maybe that's a good sign. Maybe he won't turn out to be a piece of shit like his half siblings.

Hard to imagine when both parents are Turds, but maybe he has access to news?

[Renew Deal]

2. How tall is he?

Like 6'6'?

[RT Atlanta]

5. 6' 3" - just like his diddy

hah!

what's also funny, is that melanoma is billed as 5' 11" while donnie-t is billed as 6' 3" - in that photo they look pretty much the same height and melanoma has wearing hooker heels.

[solara]

16. If Donald is 6'3"

in this picture, Barron must be 6'7"

[Blue_true]

36. The son looks a true 6'-3", he is about the same height as Gavin Newsome. nt

[Polybius]

45. He looks a lot taller than 6'3 to me

Let's say Donald is only 6'1 now, he still looks substantially more than 2 inches taller.

[Blue_true]

47. Hopefully he practices basketball. He hasn't even hit the teen growth spurt yet. nt

[Polybius]

49. I have to look up what some 7 footers were at 14

I wonder if he's on pace?

[Blue_true]

50. Maybe not 7 feet, almost surely taller than 6'8" though.

Most growth spurts add 3-5 inches. The NBA legend Bill Walton had around a 7 inch growth spurt and that caused issues with his knees, apparently, if kids spurt too fast the knees don’t develop right.

My growth spurt was around 4 inches for the last of it. I grew to around 7 inches taller than my dad. That is why I put Baron at around 6’7”- 6’8” when he is done growing upward.

[Polybius]

51. I found Shaq's height listing by various ages

At 12 he was 5'10. At 16 he was 6'7. He wound up being 7'1. Barron is probably 6'5 now, but there are so many variables.

https://www.topendsports.com/sport/basketball/body-size.htm

I had a great growth spurt for a non-tall guy. I was a runt when I graduated the 8th grade, just 5'5. I wound up being 5'11. I was extremely lucky lol.

[Blue_true]

52. Actually 5'11" is tall, average male height is 5'7".

Baron is 13, if I remember correctly. Like you said, there are lots of variables involved. I remember a kid from elementary school who was around 6’1” at 12 years old, he only grew to 6’3”.

[Polybius]

55. Yeah, it all depends

I think Barron is 14. That's how old I was when I graduated the 8th grade at 5'5. So I grew 6 inches from 14 to adulthood, which was a shock to me.

Your friend only grew 2 inches from 12 to adulthood? Wow, that's rare. I was probably 5'2 at 12, I can't remember. I only remember my 8th grade graduation height because they measured us on our last week or so of school.

[Blue_true]

57. The guy was a classmate, though he was a good guy, we were not friends, though not enemies.

We had different circles, he was a pure jock, I was an academic/jock.

You and I are in the “tall”, but ehhh, not quiet 6’ club. At least we don’t have to look up much, if any, but we just don’t hit eye level with a 6 footer.

[RANDYWILDMAN]

59. it depends, My cousin was 7 feet

But his parents were 6'6 and 6'2

he was 5'9 my height when he was 10
at 14 he was 6'7
at 16 7'0

He played football and wouldn't let them list him at taller then 6'9 so the other kids wouldn't dive at his knee's

Being super tall does not suit all people

[raccoon]

3. Wouldn't you be? Nt

[tblue37]

4. Yes. nt

[LizBeth]

6. Yes, unless he thinks father is being unfairly treated and the sullen look of a teenager for we the

people. Who knows with this family seeing how they behave and the things they say. I don't care, do you?

[OAITW r.2.0]

7. I've never heard him speak.

I wonder if that is intentional? Kids at his age are often contrarian as to what they think vs. their parents.

[sop]

8. Barron looks more and more like his real father every day, NBA Mavericks' 7'3" Latvian star power

forward Kristaps Porziņģis. Hey...that's what some people are saying.

[brush]

9. Good try but nobody is saying that.

Porziņģis started with the NY Knicks just five years ago when both Melanoma and trump were still in NY. She didn't move to DC to join trump at first so a hook up with Porzingis while trump was in DC would make the boy's age four or five maybe, but that giant boy is way older than that.

Good try though.

[dubyadiprecession]

11. I will have to see Baron's birth certificate!

He looks nothing like trump. His hands are big as catcher’s mitts!

[brush]

25. The math doesn't work though. He could be someone else's son...

but not the mentioned basketball player.

[sop]

13. Sure, sure...whatever you say.

If the Q-Tips brigade can create an entire political movement based on tin foil-hat pedophilia conspiracy theories, "some people" might believe Kristaps fathered Barron when he was just twelve years old. That Melania's a real freak, you know.

[demmiblue]

14. ...

[brush]

26. We don't want to ply that here. Way too farfetched.

[tavernier]

15. My grandson is Latvian and looks like Barron.

Huh.

[Polybius]

46. Barron is 14

Kristaps Porziņģis is 25. A better subject for the conspiracy would be 6'8 Comey.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

58. Did you say "some people"? Hmmmmm, good enough for me.nt

[dixiegrrrrl]

10. poor kid is gonna have lots of problems

but until he opens his mouth and says something crazy in public, I'm gonna to let him be.

[NurseJackie]

18. I imagine his life will end tragically. Suicide? Overdose? Liver failure? Alcohol poisoning?

Drunk driving? Frat prank gone wrong? It could be anything. That type of thing frequently happens to the families where it's least expected.

[smirkymonkey]

12. Trump barely acknowledges the kid's existence.

I feel sorry for the kid. He must feel so rejected, even if he doesn't particularly care for his father.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

34. I think Trump is doing the kid a great favor.

If Trump was more involved, it would be worse for Barron. He's probably being raised by a staff of people, including Melania's parents. Who knows? He may end up just fine/normal.

[smirkymonkey]

39. I am sure that Barron is better off without Trump's influence.

However, he is still his father and it still must hurt him that he is being rejected by him, no matter how good it is for him or not. The kid still has feelings.

[lettucebe]

17. Imagine how jealous tRump is of his young son towering over him

[Ilsa]

19. The chronic blank expression causes me to question whether he

is on the autism spectrum, or has some other social/brain disorder.

Melania has had so much plastic surgery that her kid can't look like her, but he doesn't look like donald, either.

I'm going with the power forward as daddy.

[tblue37]

21. He actually does look like Donald as a child & teen, though he is better looking, thanks to

Melania's genes.

[brush]

27. The math doesn't work for the basketball player. See post 9.

[Ilsa]

29. I know. Just kidding and I wanted to

comment, "Some people say..."

[Totally Tunsie]

28. I think you're right about Barron being on the spectrum.

When have we ever seen him smile or show emotion? He's very...blank, disengaged. I know two teen autistic boys, and there is great likeness. Malaria has shielded him well from public view, including at events that a teen boy would be thrilled to attend, and yet no Barron in sight. donnie, of course, just ignores him.

[Patterson]

31. I think he is, but you can get sliced up for saying it.

[hamsterjill]

37. There is definitely something.

I don’t know what the “something” is, but you know damn well that if Trump thought Barron could benefit the campaign in any way, he would be trotting him around to show him off.

The boy has been kept out of view other than these scripted comings and going’s off the helicopter or airplane. I refuse to believe that two self-centered parents would keep the boy off the circuit for his well being. They don’t think like that.

In my opinion, both Melania and Donald view Barron as being a “failure”. Very sad indeed.

[cynatnite]

38. I've read that he's on the spectrum as well...

My grandson is autistic and much of his mannerisms seem similar to Barron's.

I know that Melania is notoriously protective of him. I get the impression that she feels she's the only one that will. She's never shown much affection towards tRump at all. Given how shallow that asshole his, I could well imagine him blaming her for any shortcomings Barron might have. I probably shouldn't judge like that, but given how dysfunctional tRump is in public, he's likely the same in private.

This is all entirely speculation.

I do give Melania credit for being protective.

[Ilsa]

48. There are clues, good reasons, for drawing this conclusion:

Behaviors of the parents, the boy's flat affect, the lack of anything about him being known, that he lives with his grandparents and away from DC, Donald's advanced age at the time of conception (59-60), observations by special education teachers, etc. The severity may be only mild, so he might be able to lead a "normal" life.

[wildheart]

53. I remembered this...

Did a quick google, and it's cute. The music is lame. Peekaboo. But yeah, I agree that he might be on the spectrum.

[jmowreader]

30. You've heard the Who album Tommy, correct?

Tommy was a normal kid until a traumatic event (his father killing his wife's new lover) caused him to block out the world. That actually happens - abused kids can essentially curl up into a ball to protect themselves from the trauma.

Living with Trump brings with it an opportunity to be abused anew every single day. I have no doubt Barron has built an invisible wall around himself to block out his hideous father.

[Skittles]

33. I believe he is definitely on the spectrum

I'm not saying that to be mean, I have a severely autistic brother. I think Barron is probably high functioning but doesn't have great parenting (they see the spectrum as something to be ashamed of) and it is obvious Barron really dislikes the public attention. Barron is the only Trump I like (well OK, I can add Mary now) and I really wish him well.

[JI7]

44. If you see Melania before the plastic surgery, he looks very much like her

[bearsfootball516]

20. Man, he has grown like a rocket.

I remember him being so short back in 2016 when he’d occasionally appear.

[WheelWalker]

22. They are probably juicing his corn flakes with HGH

[LakeArenal]

23. She's....smiling. Looks real...

Didn’t think she could do more than grimace. 😬

No comment on Baron other than, best of luck. You will need it.

[smirkymonkey]

40. If I were her, I would despise him simply for the way he treated Barron.

How can she tolerate a man who is so dismissive to his own child The fact that she is not putting Barron before her husband makes her a horrible person as well.

[LakeArenal]

41. The first family used to be role models.

How shocking when college aged Bush twins caught drinking. 🙄

[smirkymonkey]

42. At least they were college aged girls doing what girls their ages do.

Hell, I wouldn't blame Barron if he was binge drinking now! I mean, I hope he's not, but that poor kid has two of the worst parents in the world. I only hope that his grandparents are primarily raising him, and not Donald and Melania.

[LakeArenal]

43. Probably nannies.

[brooklynite]

24. Wouldn't you if you thought your inheritance was going to disappear when Daddy goes back to "work"?

[phylny]

32. Is it necessary to comment about a minor child?

He can’t help anything that he’s experiencing. Be fair.

[Totally Tunsie]

35. I notice that Malaria looks nicely tanned.

Chump, of course, is wearing his pumpkin-spice for the season, and Barron is the palest teenager ever to see a summer's day, but Mellie must be sitting poolside somewhere to have such a nice even tan, attempting to "Be Best". Wonder where she's hanging out.

[PCIntern]

54. Tiffany's pool.

[former9thward]

56. I am guessing you have never had a teenage boy.

Or if you did you never looked at him.
