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

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.
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!”
