Barron Trump, the youngest of the Trump brood who played a significant role in his father, Donald Trump’s victory in the 2024 presidential election, has lately been under the media gaze for his impressive height of 6 feet and 7 inches.
At just 18, Barron Trump is already 4 inches taller than his father, Donald. Considering his height, many people suggest Barron Trump chose basketball for his future.
The topic became a matter of debate, especially after the video of Barron playing soccer surfaced in the media, per the Irish Star reports.
Meanwhile, many commented that Barron would have a shining future if he went for a basketball. At the time, a social media user @benmecha wrote,
He needs to start playing basketball….he’s going to have the footwork from all this soccer he’s been playing….and he’s 6’8….GIVE HIM A BASKETBALL.

Fast-forward to some months later, the host of the Macrodosing podcast once again brought the matter into the limelight, anticipating that Barron Trump would make a good basketball player.
While other participants argued about whether politics would be a better field for Barron, the host insisted that the youngest Trump should join AAU basketball.

Regardless of the ongoing debate, one thing is certain: Barron Trump has no interest in basketball.
Donald Trump revealed that his son, Barron Trump, likes to play soccer instead of basketball!
While addressing his son, Barron’s towering height, the current United States president-elect, Donald Trump, recalled his conversation with Barron, which he had a while ago.
He had asked his son Barron if he would be a basketball player. He had said,
‘You’re going to be a basketball player. I thought… at your height, I like basketball better, but you can’t talk them into everything
But, in reply, Barron said, “Well, I like soccer, Dad.” Since a young age, Trump’s youngest offspring have been the biggest supporters of the English Premier League team, Arsenal.
After learning this, Donald even asked English Association football manager Wayne Rooney to give his son a soccer lesson, which he agreed to.
Well, there is no further information on whether Barron has been taking soccer seriously lately, but reports say that he played for DC’s youth team.
