At 18 years old, Barron Trump, the youngest child of Donald and Melania Trump, has gained recent public attention. Known for his six-foot-seven height, Barron is now officially the tallest in the Trump family.
When he began his studies at NYU’s Stern School of Business, Barron recently cast his first-ever vote in the 2024 U.S. Presidential election, supporting his father, who is set to serve as the 47th President of the United States.
Barron, born on March 20, 2006, has often stayed out of the spotlight compared to his siblings, but his presence is notable. At a recent rally, Barron’s height and quiet demeanor made a mark as he stood by his father’s side.
Previously, he made headlines at his grandmother’s funeral in Palm Beach, where his height drew public attention as he towered over family members.
In a sentimental story shared by Donald Trump on The Oprah Winfrey Show, he revealed how Barron’s name was chosen. Trump initially hesitated to use the name, but Melania, having called him Barron from the beginning, insisted on it.
Barron started his schooling at Columbia Grammar & Preparatory School in New York City before moving to St. Andrew’s Episcopal School in Maryland.
After his father became president in 2017, he and Melania remained in New York temporarily, allowing Barron to complete his school year before moving to Washington, D.C. In 2021, Barron enrolled at Oxbridge Academy in Florida, graduating in 2024.
Unlike his siblings, who were often publicly active during Trump’s first term, Barron has mostly remained out of media view.
Now at NYU, Barron is reportedly introducing his father to podcasts, helping Donald Trump adopt a more modern campaign style to appeal to younger voters.
