Netizens React To Barron Trump's Height After Funeral Sighting: 'Reaching New Levels'
Barron Trump is gifted when it comes to height.
Barron, 17, joined his mom, Melania Trump; his dad, Donald Trump; and his grandfather, Viktor Knavs, at the funeral of his late grandmother, Amalija Knavs, Thursday morning. The teenager was attention-grabbing due to his towering height as he stood between his parents during the funeral ceremony.
One user shared a shot of the father and son during the funeral. In the photo, Barron walks behind his dad, and he is noticeably taller than the former president.
"Barron Trump is reaching new levels of height no one thought was possible," the netizen wrote in the caption.
Several users immediately reacted to the post. They shared various speculations about his height, with some saying it would be an asset in basketball.
"Ginormous," one commented. Another added, "Barron will probably be an NBA star."
"For the life of me, I can't understand how Melania & Trump didn't have Barron playing [basketball emoji]. That height wld've [sic] been such an asset! He might have been good at it," a third person opined.
"Everyone thought it was possible. We've all seen very tall people, both his parents are tall (though Donnie isn't as tall as he says), and I'm sure he's had his meals prepared by a nutritionist his whole life," another stated.
Prayers for Melania's Mother passing.🙏

Barron's height also sparked rumors about his paternity. Some claimed that Barron's dad was not Trump based on his stature.
"I don't believe Barron is his son. That type of height doesn't run on his side nor the immigrant wife's side," one wrote.
"WHO IS BARRON TRUMP REAL FATHER AMERICANS WANT TO KNOW," another asked.
However, several netizens argued that Barron is Trump's offspring because the father and son look similar.
"I think he look[ed] like him when he was younger," one commented.
"I think they want to say he's not DJT's son lol thank [g]od he looks like our beloved, and current president -- Donald Trump! His father," a Trump supporter added.
I think he looks like him when he was younger. Poor kid. Also his dad looks more like a grandpa. 🤢
Meanwhile, one user seemingly had enough of people talking about Barron's height and urged others to get over it because there's more interesting stuff about the teenager other than his towering body.
"I wish people could talk about Barron without always mentioning his height. The world is full of tall people, I don't get why it's a thing. He's an incredibly bright and handsome young man. I hope we see more of him and hear more from him, and people can get over it," the user wrote.
Barron was photographed reaching out to his dad during the funeral.
Judi James, a leading communication and body language expert who has appeared regularly on BBC News, Sky News, GB News and CNN, commented on the teenager's gesture. According to James, Barron wanted to comfort his dad.
