Wow... One more thing for Trump to be insecure about...

Barron absolutely towers over him--especially apparent toward the end of the video.

Not saying ANYTHING negative about Barron, just that his looming height is going to push Trump's buttons and I feel for him...

Go search for pics of him standing next to Obama, who is 6-1. They both look the same height to me.

Especially if you discount tRump's pouffed up hair.

So....Baron is 7' tall then.

it's nice to see Barron a bit more comfortable in the spotlight - with the several hand waves. It has to suck growing up in that toxic situation.

in Virginia. That way he’s away from Trump’s raging fits for the most part. I think that’s the one thing Melania does right. She protects him well. It’s a crying shame that she doesn’t extend that protectiveness to other children.

and saw the light? Totally repudiate his asshole dad and every thing he stands for. It'd be better yet if that happened while the old man was still alive and in jail.

He certainly seems a lot more relaxed and I was thinking that perhaps he feels compassion for his dad (impeachment and all) and is showing support by being there for him.

Barron's lanky gait reminds me of my older cousin when he was that age. He was also very tall, and slumped a bit when he walked - because his height embarrassed him. Let's face it, 13 is a very uncomfortable age to be for anyone, but even more so when you're dragged into the spotlight like Barron is. I truly wish him the best... he looks like a nice young man.

Melania's genes play no role here, obviously. /s

growth is an accomplishment.
This is what I got from the Trump supporters responding to the video.
