Growing fast! Donald & Melania Trump’s son Barron takes after dad
If Donald and Melania Trump’s son’s growth spurt continues even further, a basketball career might just be in his future!
In new photos released from the annual White House turkey pardon (in which the President saved two birds, Drumstick and Wishbone, from their fate at a Thanksgiving dinner table), 11-year-old Barron appears close to towering over his 188cm dad.
Melania Trump stands at 180cm, and Barron already seems to be overtaking his mum, which would put him somewhere between his parents’ height.
That would be no big deal if he was, say, 18 years old. But the average height of an 11-year-old boy is just 140cm. So Barron has a good 40cm or so on his peers and 20cm on the highest percentile of boys his age.
Time will only tell if he reaches (or even surpasses!) big brother Eric Trump’s imposing 196cm.
