Barron Trump, the youngest member of the Trump family, made a rare public appearance at his father’s inauguration. But beyond the public events, his life is a mystery
Barron Trump has been trying to live as a regular citizen since he was born to his rather famous parents. Like many kids his age, the almost 19-year-old attends university (New York University's Stern School of Business, in fact) albeit flanked by Secret Service. According to numerous sources, he loves video games and usually socialises through them. All clues point out that the youngest Trump has been, so far, attempting a quiet life. So, when his father, 47th United States President Donald Trump, was inaugurated back to the White House, all eyes were on the youngest Trump.

Barron's surprise appearance prompted everyone to pick up on his every move, from his towering height to his perfunctory way to how he stood in front of a statue of Ulysses S. Grant. Details about the elusive teenager are as scarce as his public appearances, but here are some key things to know.
1. Barron Trump is ‘almost as tall’ as LeBron James
Media outlets say that Barron Trump likes football more than basketball, but he can definitely use his height to his advantage should he find himself switching sports. He is reportedly as tall as hardcourt legend LeBron James, who is a towering 2.06m. However, other sources claim that the young Trump is 2.01m. Regardless of the discrepancy, Trump is by far the tallest member of his family.
