"Bro should be in the NBA": Fans can’t stop laughing as Barron Trump towers over everyone at the inauguration due to his height

Barron Trump is back in the spotlight, and this time, it’s not just for standing around looking presidential. Once the little kiddo trailing behind his dad, is now towering over the Capitol, literally.

As the youngest son of President Donald Trump returned to the inaugural stage, people couldn’t help but notice one thing: he could dunk without even jumping.

Barron Trump's height has become the latest internet obsession. Social media detectives have been quick to point out that he stands at 6’8” (or is it 6’9” now?).

An X user has stated that “Bro should be in the NBA 💀”

A user humorously noted: “Bro is like 6’8” and I heard the Lakers need a center😭😭”

Another chimed in: “Looks like everyone else are squatting 😂”

A comment read: “97 missed calls from NBA”

Another comment read: “The view from up there must be amazing!”

Meanwhile, a user thinks: “If Trump Tower was a Human Being Barron Trump is who Trump Tower would be.”

A user went on to provide a zoomed-in visual depiction of the whole scene.

This is what a user thinks of Barron Trump's POV of his mother:

Barron Trump at Donald Trump’s presidential inauguration

In the Capitol during the inauguration ceremony, Barron stood behind the presidential podium with his family: his mother, Melania Trump, and his grandfather, Viktor Knavs.

He was dressed in a black overcoat while wearing a white button-down shirt, black trousers, and a dark blue tie. His polished appearance topped off with neatly styled hair, showcased a remarkable transformation from the young boy seen at his father’s first inauguration when he was just 10 years old.

What does Barron Trump do?

Barron Trump is currently attending New York University (NYU) for college. As of January 2025, he is a freshman at the Stern School of Business. He is reportedly keeping a relatively discreet presence on campus.

Reports indicate that he spends little time socializing in public settings and often moves quickly between classes, accompanied by Secret Service agents for security reasons, according to TMZ.

According to news reports, Barron has found a sense of normalcy in his college experience despite the challenges as the son of a high-profile political figure. He reportedly enjoys video gaming and has been known to connect with his peers on platforms such as Discord, where he shares his interest in soccer games, such as FIFA.

Apart from academics, Barron has played a crucial role in his father's political matters. He has been credited with advising Donald Trump on how to connect to young voters during the recent election cycle.

His suggestions reportedly included appearances on popular podcasts, which helped garner significant attention and engagement from Gen Z audiences.
