Washington D.C.: Remember when Barron Trump was just a kid at his dad’s inauguration? That was back on January 20, 2017, when he was only 10 years old.
The whole Trump family was there, from Donald Trump Jr. to little Barron. They all gathered at the U.S. Capitol to see Donald take the oath as the 45th president. Even at that young age, Barron was already pretty tall, almost eye level with his mom, Melania.
Back then, he was just an elementary school kid, the first boy to live in the White House since John F. Kennedy Jr. The Trump family called 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. home from 2017 to 2021.
Fast forward to January 2025, and Barron is now 18 and towering at around 6-foot-7 or even 6-foot-9, depending on where you look. His dad is 6-foot-2, and Melania is 5-foot-11. He’s a freshman at NYU’s Stern School of Business, aiming to graduate in 2028.
On January 20, 2025, the Trump family will reunite for another inauguration, this time for Donald Trump’s second term after winning against Kamala Harris. Barron, who kept a low profile during the campaign, will be back in D.C. for the big day, just as his spring classes at NYU kick off the next day.
This time around, Barron will definitely be the tallest one in the family photos!
