Here is an interesting but anodyne observation: Barron Trump is tall as hell.

But because President Donald Trump and Melania Trump have tried to keep him out of the public eye, people have not often seen him, so every time he pops up, people are shocked.

He’s 14 years old, and somewhere around 6’6″. That is inarguably tall as hell.

Look at him at his dad’s acceptance speech for the 2020 Republican nomination for president. He doesn’t even fit on the screen!

Mike Pence is 5’10”. Barron is so much taller. Online, people noted that, some even making some quips.

“Barron Trump is actually as tall as men say they are on Tinder,” wrote @@TLCplMax, the joke being that men lie about their height, whereas Barron Trump is legitimately, actually tall.

Is that a crime? A sin? A gross invasion of privacy to note? To right-wing pundits… yes.

“as expected.. the disgusting attacks on Barron Trump have started. Good thing he’s got a strong structure around him so he’ll be shielded from this BS. There’s something wrong with political left constantly attacking this child,” wrote radio host Joe Pagliarulo.

It’s true that in the past, some people have made less-than-savory remarks about Barron Trump. But last night, all it was was that everyone was agape at his truly impressive height.

He’s 14 and 6’6″!!! Should I be arrested for writing that? Hell no. Is it “scummy” to have mentioned that? Absolutely not.
