Melania Trump laid her mother, Amalija, to rest on January 18, drawing attention to Barron Trump’s remarkable height during the funeral. Social media buzzed with comments about his growth, with some reports suggesting he now stands at 6 feet, 7 inches tall. Ironically, Donald J. Trump humorously credited Amalija’s cooking for Barron’s height.
Melania confirmed her mother’s passing at 78 years old, describing Amalija as a strong, graceful, and warm woman. Ivanka, Melania’s stepdaughter, also expressed her condolences, remembering Amalija as a remarkable woman.
Both of Melania’s parents, in their late 70s, have been living with the Trumps at Mar-a-Lago. Despite the possibility of returning to the role of First Lady, Melania continues to value her privacy away from the public eye.
