Since throwing his hat into the political ring in 2015, there’s been a spotlight on former U.S. President Donald Trump and his entire family.
All five of his children have very different personalities, but it seems as if his second son is envious of his youngest son because of one interesting detail.
Eric Trump Is Jealous That Barron Trump “Dethroned” Him
During an interview with Alec Lace on First Class Fatherhood in 2021, Eric Trump revealed that he was a bit upset at the fact that Barron dethroned him as the tallest Trump sibling. In fact, his ‘baby’ brother is “at least” two inches taller than him.
Eric goes on to note that his dad calls him the shortest son now. At six-five, Eric isn’t exactly “short”; however, as he states during the interview, when it comes to Trump siblings, six-five is the “new short”.
Still, the “jealousy” Eric has about Barron’s height seems to be all in good fun. After all, the older brother has defended his baby brother many times in the past, including during a Westchester Magazine interview.
He stated that Barron, aged 12 at the time, as well as sister Tiffany, aged 24, should be “100%” off limits, and he also called out the U.S. Department of Justice Special Counsel Jack Smith for searching Barron’s “underwear drawer” during a Mar-a-Lago raid.
The Trump Siblings Are Close
While it seems Melania Trump has been fiercely protective of Barron when it comes to the public spotlight, she has tried her best to foster a relationship with her son and his half-siblings. He seems to share a close bond with them, as well as his nieces and nephews.
During President Trump’s inauguration, NBC News even caught a tender moment of Barron playing “peek-a-boo”, with Ivanka Trump’s son, Theodore Kushner.
It seems like, despite the age difference he has with his older siblings, he remains close to all four of them. While they all have busy schedules, including Barron, who just turned eighteen this past Wednesday, March 20th, it seems as if the family remains tight-knit.
