How Tall Is Donald Trump Jr.? He Can't Compete With Little Brother Barron

For the Trumps, appearances are everything, and towering over your adversaries is preferable. This is something President Donald Trump's youngest son, Barron Trump, is able to do without even trying. Barron was already reportedly between 6' 7" and 6' 9" tall at the age of just 19. Donald Trump's tall tales about his height have been exposed repeatedly, with the divisive politician seemingly unable to come to terms with the fact that he will never exceed 6' 3." But there's one other Trump who probably feels more than a little overshadowed by Barron's lanky frame, and that's the president's eldest son. Donald Trump Jr. might get his unsavory sense of humor (and his ego) from his dad, but the businessman hasn't managed to live up to his father's height, coming up short at 6' 1." Eric Trump, meanwhile, is also taller than Don Jr., clocking in at 6' 5."

This makes Don Jr. the shortest among his male siblings. Alas, if it wasn't for his lack of gray hair and visible stubble, Barron might even publicly appear to be the older brother. Luckily, unlike Donald, who has let slip that his ego is bruised over Barron's staggering height, Don Jr. doesn't seem to harbor a grudge against his younger brother for towering over him (and everybody else in their family too). On the contrary, they seem to share a relatively amicable relationship. Don Jr. was seen fist-bumping his little brother during the 2016 Republican National Convention, hinting that they're close behind the scenes. Likewise, they also collaborated on the Trump family's cryptocurrency venture.

Donald Trump Jr., though not much shorter than his namesake, President Donald Trump, nonetheless lives in his shadow. Not only is Don Jr. surprisingly terrible at impersonating him (he deemed Charlie Kirk's memorial service a good place to debut this new party trick, for whatever reason), the political activist also seems to think, deep down, that he cannot live up to Donald's expectations. Don Jr. hinted to New York Magazine in 2004 that he does aspire to be like his famous father while acknowledging that they are very different people (some pundits might disagree in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary). 

"I think I probably got a lot of my father's natural security, or ego, or whatever [...] I can be my own person and not have to live under his shadow," the eldest Trump son opined. "I think I'm such a different person, it's hard to even compare us. His work persona is kind of what he is. I have a work face, and then there's my private life." The most compelling proof that Don Jr. lives in his dad's shadow despite denying it is contained in a 2020 chat with Ami magazine, in which he claimed that he doesn't even bother competing with Donald. 

"He has done well with anything he's put his mind to. The reality is that if I were competing with him, then yes, it would be difficult. But I guess I'm self-confident enough that I don't look at things that way," Don Jr. reasoned. He's apparently not interested in besting his father's accomplishments, but perhaps, the eldest Trump son simply doesn't believe it's possible. All things considered, Don Jr.'s self-doubt may be a blessing in disguise.
