KEY POINTS

  • Barron Trump's height triggered joke about his future career
  • Barron Trump's height also sparked paternity rumors
  • Donald Trump left Melania and Barron alone on the tarmac

Netizens joked about Barron Trump’s future career.

Over the weekend, the first family made headlines after they were spotted arriving in Florida. Many immediately noticed that President Donald Trump’s 13-year-old son Barron is already a few inches taller than him. Due to this, online users talked about the teen’s future career with the majority being convinced he will make a great basketball player.

“Barron Trump is going to be the greatest dunker the NBA has ever seen,” one commented.

“When did Barron Trump get this tall? We could have a star basketball player in the works here,” another added.

"Can we all take a moment to realize how tall Barron Trump is, now? Not just the height is crazy but how young he is for that height... Barron is already taller than both parents, and probably most people in any given room... This dude needs to go to the @NBA " @joshkennedy35 opined.

One online user called the Washington Wizard and encouraged the team to offer the POTUS and FLOTUS’ son a 10-year contract and make him the younger version of Kristaps Porziņģis. Aside from Barron’s career jokes, his height sparked paternity rumors as well. There were speculations that his real dad is a Russian basketball player. However, not everyone believed the rumors.

Others claimed that he inherited the genes from his mom. Barron’s parents, Melania and Donald both have towering heights.

Meanwhile, Trump was criticized upon their arrival in Florida because he left Melania and Barron on their own on the tarmac. The president was caught on camera walking ahead of Barron and Melania without looking back at how they were doing. The POTUS went on and greeted the people waiting for them and walked ahead waving to the crowd with his wife and son behind him.

According to etiquette experts, Trump disrespected his wife by doing so. Normally, the man walks down ahead of the woman in the airstair to catch her if she falls, but Trump was several feet away from his wife and it appeared that he was ignoring his family.
