Trump’s So Petty He Avoids Son Barron Who’s Noticeably Taller

We all know how vain Trump is. He lies about all kinds of stuff including his height and weight. It’s too bad he didn’t get the full booking treatment in GA which would prove he’s NOT 6″3″ or 220lb. Add a hundred pounds (at least) to the weight, and there’s too many pics of him in recent years next to people who’s height is known – Trump is perhaps 6’1″ and that’s almost certainly with lifts in his shoes. (He’s mid 70s and people often shrink in height after retirement age. I wouldn’t be surprised if I do a bit myself) Trump at least is taller than the male spawn from his marriage to Trophy Wife #1 (Ivana) so no problems there. However, the son Trophy Wife #3 bore him, Barron Trump is reported to now be 6’8.” I’d say he’s a good 6’7″ and maybe even the reported six-eight.

The point though is that he caught up to Trump in height by the time he was a teen and now towers over his sperm donor. (Or maybe he’s not Trump’s at all. Hmmmm.) It seems, at least according to this article from sheknows that this is and has been for years a sore sport with Trump. This story isn’t exactly new, but it’s resurfaced. It seems Melania got really pissed at Trump for photoshopping Barron into a meme that suggested a “President Barron” should debate Biden. He’d promised her to keep Barron out of political stuff and she’s not letting this one slide. In any case, some of the behind the scenes stuff caused the whole thing with Michael Wolfe’s book about Trump being jealous of Barron’s height to come up again.

The linked article references an interview with Lawrence O’Donnell back in 2019 when Wolf was promoting his book Siege: Trump Under Fire. O’Donnell  asked about the height feud which apparently began when Barron was twelve years old and “growing up:”

To this, Wolff responds by saying, “He’s jealous of everyone’s height. He never lets himself be in a photograph with someone taller than he is. Height is his — is one of his techniques. He uses his height — and, remember, Donald Trump is a very large man.”

The article goes on to note that when all this was reported (2019) Barron was already several inches taller than Trump and that they were often seen together at the WH. Since then however the article notes such instances are rare. (If YOU were this kid would you want to be anywhere near Trump if you absolutely, positively didn’t HAVE to be?) Yes, Melania want to protect her son from the political spotlight, as much as she herself wants nothing to do with it. At least she’s trying to keep her kid out of the fray which is why she’s been fuming that Trump went behind her back with that meme. It was a broken promise. Maybe that had something to do with the reports we saw about a re-negotiated prenup?

In any case, given how vain he is while Trump has no problem using Barron if he thinks he can get some advantage from doing so, but I for one think there isn’t a snowball’s chance in hell he wants to be anywhere near Barron where someone might be able to snap a picture!

Helluva thing that a father is jealous of a son over something so petty. Of course, Trump never considered Barron a son any more than he thought of any of his other kids as children to be loved. Every single one was a “Look! Here’s proof I’m getting it on with a babe” child. Just like his wives have been Trophy Wives, all the kids have been Trophy Kids. We know how stupid Fredo 1 and Fredo 2 (Don Jr. and Eric) are and so Trump has no worries about them. Wannabe Princess Ivanka was once his darling (not that he won’t go to his grave wanting to bang her) but she’d rather vapid herself. Tiffany, from Trophy Wife #2 might have wound up outshining her dad as she actually not only graduated from a top school but also a top level law school. With a few years of hard work (not as hard as typical law grads) at a top DC firm she’d have been a junior partner and probably a full partner (due to connections) well before forty.

The kids from Trump’s first marriage didn’t have the smarts or the work ethic to make it big and earn big salaries and benefits out on their own so it was easy for Trump to get them under his thumb at the Trump Org. Tiffany’s mom Marla Maples tried soooo hard to instill the right values in her but she too decided that working for a living wasn’t her cup of tea and was seduced into an easy gig at the Trump Org. where daddy has buried her and he once promising career. Barron’s mom has I’m sure watched what happened with Tiffany with no small amount of horror and is determined to keep Barron out of all that.

And here’s the best part – TRUMP is helping her do so! He doesn’t want anything to do with Barron. Doesn’t want to be near him for fear that someone will snap a photo of Barron and making daddy look even smaller than he is! I find that funny. Melania isn’t a good person and I’m not sure the young man ever had much of a chance, but the gene pool was good to him when it comes to height so we can be sure that even if though there won’t be a Trump Org. to work for Trump would never have allowed him in.

Vanity. Petty vanity on Donald Trump’s part might just give Barron half a chance.
