The Trumps' newly released Christmas family photo has left many social media users doing a double-take - as Barron Trump's height has left many people in awe.

The festive family Christmas photo, which was shared on Kimberly Guilfoyle's Instagram Story, showed the Trump family gathered at Mar-a-Lago to celebrate the holidays.

The portrait features Donald Trump Jr., former President Donald Trump, Kimberly Guilfoyle, Barron Trump, Ivanka Trump, Jared Kushner, Tiffany Trump, and Michael Boulos.

Despite many famous faces in the photo, it was 17-year-old Barron who captured everyone's attention as he towered over his family.

The image quickly did the rounds on social media and people jumped in with their surprise that Barron is so tall.

One person loudly explained on X: "HOW TALL IS THAT BOY BARRON," while a second said: "No one is going to mention Barron being seven feet tall?"

According to The Sun, the 17-year-old is said to stand at around 6 feet 7 inches tall (2.01 meters), but that shouldn't come as a surprise based on the height of his other family members.

Donald Trump himself stands at around 6 feet 2 inches (1.9 meters), and Eric Trump comes in at around 6 feet 4 inches (1.96 meters).

Despite coming from a tall family, people were still pretty shocked as a further X user commented: "WHAT are they feeding that boy Barron?"

This wasn't the only thing about the picture that got people talking, as the notable absence of former First Lady Melania Trump has left many wondering about the reasons behind her non-appearance

A Trump spokesperson addressed Melania's absence, stating that she was attending to a family matter. Meanwhile, Page Six has reported Melania has plans to increase her public appearances in support of her husband's potential 2024 presidential bid.

According to an insider cited by the outlet: "Trump and his family are so secure that he will become president again that insiders at Mar-a-Lago say he’s reached an agreement with [wife] Melania [Trump] to step up top-tier diplomatic appearances in 2024."

"Melania realizes it’s her time to join the ranks of historic first ladies and leave her mark on history. She feels better prepared for her potential role the second time around," the source added, highlighting the Trump family's support for Donald's bid for the Oval Office.

Amid these family plans, 77-year-old Donald secured a legal victory last week when the US Supreme Court decided not to expedite a decision on his immunity from federal charges related to his challenge of the 2020 election results.

His legal team argues that he cannot be tried for election challenges, including the Capitol riot on January 6, 2021, as his actions constituted "official acts."

Donald has got a very big support network with his family, in more ways than one.
