Every once in a while, Donald Trump has what would be described as a “real parent” moment where he drifts off his usual fiery rhetoric about Joe Biden, immigrants, China, and the Democrats to focus on his youngest son, Barron Trump.
At a recent event in Iowa, Donald Trump decided to talk about his teen son. This time he revealed more about his height — for the record, Barron Trump is 6 feet 7 inches tall.
The former president lamented by revealing that despite his best efforts, there is one thing he has not been able to get Barron to do. He also gave the real reason why Barron Trump is so tall.
Talking to the audience, the billionaire reality star opened up about his late mother-in-law, Amalija Knavs. Melania Trump‘s mother passed away last month.
The businessman confessed that the late Mrs. Knavs was a great cook, and Barron Trump enjoyed her famous Slovenian meals, which is why he has had an amazing growth spurt.
Donald Trump delighted his supporters by stating: “Great people, great parents to all of us. Great parents, but also to Barron. Boy, did she take care of Barron? That’s how he got so tall, he only ate her food.”
It has been reported that Barron Trump spends a lot of time with his grandparents, and he is fluent in Slovenian, thanks to that great opportunity.
It seems that he has learned some great values, such as kindness and empathy, from his grandparents. At his grandmother’s funeral, Barron Trump was pictured showing compassion and support to Donald Trump after he was heavily scolded by Melania Trump.
Donald Trump went on to say that he has not been able to convince his 17-year-old son to join a basketball team. Trump said that he had the best arguments, such as his impressive height and talent — but has failed to convince the young man.
The controversial political figure went on to reveal that, despite Barron’s massive frame, he boldly declared that he prefers soccer to basketball.
Donald Trump complained: “I said you’re gonna be a basketball player. He said, well I like soccer Dad, actually. I thought… at your height I like basketball better but you can’t talk them into everything.”
Barron Trump might be American-born but he seems to be keeping his European roots strong and alive. The teen is a true soccer fan and player.
He is often seen wearing an Arsenal jersey, and Donald Trump delighted his son by inviting England and Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney to the White House when he was president.
