On the 8th, the funeral of Amalija Knavs, the mother of Melania Trump, the wife of former President Donald Trump, was held at the Bethesda-by-the-Sea Church in Palm Beach, Florida. The presence of Trump’s son Barron Trump at the event became a topic of discussion.
At the funeral, not only the couple and Melania’s father Viktor Knavs (79) but also the children, spouses, and fiancées of Trump’s two ex-wives were all in attendance.
What caught the attention of American media at the funeral was the height of Barron Trump, the youngest son of Trump and Melania.
Barron, who was born on March 20, 2006, and is now 17 years old, is known to be 6 feet 7 inches (200.6 cm) tall. This is much taller than his mother Melania (5 feet 11 inches·180.3 cm) and his father Donald Trump. Trump’s height is generally known to be between 6 feet 2-3 inches (187.96 cm~190.5 cm).
After winning the Republican primary in Iowa, Trump said in a speech about his mother-in-law, “(She was) a good parent to all of us, but especially to Barron,” and “Thanks to her taking good care of Barron, he grew up so big. Barron only eats the food that his grandmother gives him.”
Public interest in Barron’s height has been consistent. When a photo of him moving with Melania in New York in 2021 was released, what caught people’s attention was Barron’s height, which had already surpassed 2 meters at the age of 15. At that time, former President Trump joked, “My youngest, Barron, is over 2 meters tall. Can you believe it?” and “My second son, Eric, is short. He’s only about 198 cm tall.”

In 2022, the British media ‘Daily Star’ reported, ‘Trump’s son’s gigantic physique has reappeared. It reminds us of Peter Crouch, who shone in the English Premier League (EPL).’ The ‘Daily Star’ found a video on social media where Barron Trump lightly fooled the defense with his left foot and passed to the winger. The video lasts about 6 seconds.
Meanwhile, the tallest among the U.S. presidents in history was Abraham Lincoln at 6 feet 6 inches (193 cm). President Joe Biden is introduced as 6 feet (183 cm) tall.
