Despite being equally criticized as her husband, United States First Lady Melania Trump holds a solid presence in social media compared to the rest of her family, stepchildren included. If there is anything to be said about the First Lady’s presence online, it is that she loves to use photo filters for her posts, whether it be on Instagram or Twitter.
According to Mashable, Melania loves using filters that dramatically change the entire look of the photo. Even before she moved into the White House, her social media accounts are full of heavily-filtered photos that could be perplexing to many, given that these heavy filters were a big trend back in the early 2010s when Instagram was still on the rise. Even after taking over the FLOTUS handle on Twitter, Melania continues using heavy filters to enhance her photos and it is by no means a bad thing at all as even her predecessor, former First Lady Michelle Obama, is a fan of border filters in her social media posts before. That has since changed now, at least in Obama’s case.
It might raise a few eyebrows from the official White House photographers but there is no rule that prohibits official White House photos from getting edited anyway. It is safe to say that Melania can do what she wants in that aspect.
Meanwhile, Melania’s son Barron Trump was recently seen out with his parents and many were surprised at the growth spurt coming from her only child to husband President Donald Trump. The family arrived in Florida to spend the weekend at the Mar-a-Lago estate, and Barron was seen towering over both his parents. His exact height has not been revealed, but it was clear how much taller he was than his parents in the photos.
Many were quick to comment on the photos that were shared online regarding his height. The majority of the commenters said that Barron may have a promising career playing in the NBA. Some even compared him to a very tall NBA player to date, the seven-foot-three Kristaps Porzingis. Barron is not the only one who towers over his father, among all the Trump siblings and stepsiblings. Eric Trump is also slightly taller than Donald at six foot four.
