A tweet by Ivanka Trump @ivankatrump saying “I cannot believe that Theodore is eight months old today! Happy birthday little teddy bear!” with an admittedly cute picture of a child smiling. It has a reply from @blacknmild saying “this isn’t how birthdays work”

            I imagine he’s older now and becoming a fairer target, however.

            He hasn’t put himself in the spotlight much, at least as far as I can tell. If he steps up, though, he’s fair game to be knocked down.

          Yeah and let’s note that he’s clearly been on HGH, gender affirming care, since he was a teen.

          You can literally ask any AI if being 6’7" at his age (or any of his heights/ages following the years where they started HGH) is normal, and it will voluntarily tell you while it can possibly be normal, in general no, it’s a sign of excess growth hormone and the person should be screened for acromegaly or Marfan’s. Per Trump, Barron has no diseases (yes, he’s been asked about this before because his son is so tall), he is just that tall.

          If Barron was as many standard deviations short as he is tall, he’d be 4’7".

          He was not only given HGH, but so much of it that it potentially risks his heart and could be part of why he has alleged mental/brain issues.

          Every fucking accusation is a confession with Trump - can’t give trans kids puberty blockers, that’s abuse, but you can accelerate their aging with excess HGH ig

            This seems… Is there any actual evidence for this, or is this just kinda a wishful conspiracy? Because I’m all for calling out their hypocrisy, but not only does this family have a history of lying about their height, tall people… exist. Approaching your full height at 19 isn’t exactly uncommon.

            (Ask an AI? Am I being wooshed?)

              Read what I said again - if he was as many standard deviations short as he is tall, he’d be 4’7". It is an ANOMALOUS height difference by a LOT. He is indeed that height when you look at him next to his family. Earliest reports of him being 6’7" is in 2021 when he was 15… thats extremely unusual. Have you EVER met a 15 year old at or over 6’7"?? And he could be much taller these days, they havent disclosed any kind of accurate height. It’s so anomalous that Michael Rappaport calls him “Big Body Trump.”

              There’s nothing to say he is at his full height yet. And also, the anomalous height stuff started around 12 for him (he was relatively average height before that - v unusual). Also, being on whatever hormones, it’ll take longer for his long bones to finish growing/growth plates to harden, he will continue to grow in his 20s past when everyone else stops. My genuine guess is that he will be near or over 7ft tall by 25 and stop growing then. He will likely have permanent, lifelong heart issues from this.

              It’s so obvious that it’s growth hormone (exogenous or endogenous), that even AI can detect it.

                Have you EVER met a 15 year old at or over 6’7"

                Yes. Plus I asked an AI and they said this is just an absurd conspiracy theory (of such tenuous feasibility that the flat earthers all enthusiastically started supporting it), so I’m pretty sure thats conclusive.

                My genuine guess

                Is this performance art? Am I being whooshed right now?

                No seriously, you think its more likely they’re giving him growth hormones to make him taller vs. he’s got tall parents and he is himself tall? Or that they’re lying about him having a growth disorder?

                Attack them for the thousands of legit reasons we already have, you don’t need to make stuff up to justify it.

                  I specifically said to ask AI if it’s normal for a 15 year old to be 6’7", or a 18 year old to be 6’9". Go ahead.

                  Flat earthers are overwhelmingly MAGA types? They wouldnt like this idea, which is based in literal evidence you can see. Can’t hide doping.

                  Yes, since it isn’t the future and we dint know Barron’s height at 25, since he isnt 25, I have to GUESS what height he will be, as done anyone. You’re genuinely very dumb, huh?

                  Yes, if you understood what a standard deviation was, you’d understand that his height difference is significant even with tall parents. Again, so much so it is MEDICALLY RELEVANT and can INDICATE A BRAIN TUMOR (acromegaly). They know it’s not a brain tumor because they’ve been dosing him.

                  Yes, I think Trump and Melania lie. Lol.

                    This is… fascinating. Its like art imitating life imitating art. You really are going all in on what is, even for the trump administration, absolute bunko. Moon-touched, foundation eroding goofery. Why-oh-why you believe this, I cannot know. But you’ve given one lowly professor of vapid truths boundless mirth in this dark time, and for that I am grateful. Ad hominem, no homonim, etcetera etcetera.

              The “evidence” here is pretty sketchy, but I believe it, for two reasons.

              1. It’s extremely on brand for a Trump to do this. Decrying [X] publicly while getting it for yourself is basically all he has ever done. Look to the covid vaccines for a convenient example. In addition, Trump thinks being tall = being important (just look at the six inch lifts he wears in his shoes) and I have no problem at all believing that he doped up his son with a bunch of drugs to try and turn him into some kind of superhuman.

              2. They’ve been making up stories about everyone else for their entire lives. So even if this one is completely made up, what does it matter? What goes around comes around. They’re lucky it’s something as relatively legal and safe as HGH. If we were really going tit for tat on Trump misinformation, we should have mainstream media telling everyone that Barron Trump was raised on an IV drip feed of stem cells, crack cocaine and blended up white babies. That would be closer to actually tasting some of their own medicine.

              Alas(?) lefties don’t really want to play that game. They generally find misinformation to be distasteful. Which I don’t blame anyone for. I’m just tired of one “team” being bound by rules and one “team” just doing whatever the fuck they want constantly with zero oversight. If we aren’t going to implement oversight then we’ll both end up in the mud together.

                And while many might now know how Barron got to be so tall, Donald explains that it came from his mother-in-law’s cooking. Amalia Knavs, Melania’s mother, was known to cook regularly for the family, which the 47th President of the United States believes contributed to Barron’s growth spurt.

                (Amalia died a year ago at 78 in January 2024, the same age DT is now - he credited her with this in November 2024 after she had died, imo possibly not naturally).

                “That’s how he got so tall; he only ate her food,” he said. “I said you’re gonna be a basketball player. He said, well, ‘I like soccer, Dad,’ actually. I thought… at your height, I like basketball better, but you can’t talk them into everything.'”

                A 2019 book by Michael Wolff contained an anecdote about Trump being jealous of his son at 12 for already being so tall.

                (He was jealous bc they had started doping him, imo)

                The earliest reports of his height being 6-foot-7 may have come from the New York Post all the way back in 2021. It’s an uncommon height for any age, but it must be said, it’s really tall for 15.

                When asked about Barron’s bout with COVID-19 in 2020, Trump reportedly said, “My Barron. My tall Barron. He’s very tall. My beautiful Barron.”

                They generally find misinformation to be distasteful.

                Alt right: “There’s a secret video of Hilary Clinton ripping a child’s face off as part of a sex ritual!”

                Leftist: “There’s probably a video of Donald Trump getting pissed on by Russian prostitutes.”

                Centrists: “Both sides are the same!”

        “now remember, you have a chance to go against your family, be disowned, lose all your possessions and shortcuts in life, but do something positive in life”

        “I’ll weigh my options and give it some consideration”

        You’re missing my point. I would rather they’d not have bred. I’m not saying to harm or judge the kids as babies…

        I sense you’re one of those people who argues with people who prefer not to have children, telling them they’re lacking any purpose in life because they didn’t breed. Hope that’s wrong but this comment gives off similar vibes.

        Edit: looks like the downvoters are exactly the type I described

          Nah, you can’t pick who your ancestors are. But once he’s a thinking human and chooses to act like an entitled little prick like the rest of the family, then I’ll judge him.

            Sure, but I will bet real money you’ve never talked to someone as rich as that kid will be once he’s an adult. And seen how they think.

            That makes anyone who gives them the benefit of the doubt naïve.

            Why the fuck do you think Dauphins were killed during the reign of terror in France, it’s because they can’t be fucking left alone. France turned out socialist as hell thanks to killing off those dregs.

            Nope, you are. People like you give anyone the benefit of the doubt. You probably thought Biden was doing an ok job too. Fucking lunatic.
