Ever since Donald Trump proudly proclaimed how tall Barron Trump had become, people speculated on whether the teenager would pursue basketball. When Donald addressed the Des Moines crowd on January 15, he spoke about his son’s athletic aspirations. “I said you’re gonna be a basketball player. He said, ‘Well I like soccer, dad, actually,’” Donald told the crowd, per the Daily Mail. “I thought … at your height I like basketball better but you can’t talk them into everything,” he continued.
For years, Trump supporters have discussed the possibilities of Barron using his tall frame for athletic domination. Many had thrown out the idea of the youngster joining the NBA. “Every day we get closer and closer to the professional basketball player Barron Trump universe arc and I for one welcome it,” an X, formerly Twitter, user tweeted in July 2021. “Fast forward to 2025. Starting at center for the New York Knicks, Barron Trump,” another wrote. This was shortly after viral photos surfaced of Barron walking alongside, and towering over, Melania outside Trump Tower in New York.
A month earlier, Donald had made a crack about Barron’s height while addressing the crowd at a GOP event in June 2021, which came at the expense of another son. “Barron is 6-foot-7, can you believe it? And he’s 15,” Donald said, per the New York Post. “Eric is short — he’s only 6-foot-6,” he jokingly added.
