Barron Trump was the target of a cruel joke on Saturday Night Live this weekend, with one comedian mocking the 18-year-old's impressive height.
The comedy sketch made a pointed hit at the 6-foot-9-inch NYU student in the first SNL show since Trump's historic inauguration on Monday - with cast member James Austin Johnson playing the president.
But the skit took a wicked turn - with Johnson comparing the President's youngest son to the Lord of the Rings character Gandalf, because of his physical appearance.
The cutting jab comes just months after Barron re-emerged into the public eye on his 18th birthday - following years of being treated harshly on social media by liberals, with some members of the mainstream media targeting him as 'fair game.'
Even after a previous Saturday Night Live writer was reprimanded for calling Barron a 'school shooter' at his father's first inauguration in 2017, the comedy show decided to take another bite at the teen last night.
Johnson walked into the scene as guest star Lin-Manuel Miranda and other cast members sang and danced to a Hamilton-inspired song about America.
Just after the Tony Award-winning actor said 'in America we will never have a king,' Johnson interrupted him and said 'never say never.'
Johnson then said he's 'in his king-era,' before going on to speak about the 47th president's youngest son - calling Barron his 'new favorite son.'

Amy Carter was the last cute kid the democrats have had for a first child in the white house.
All the rest since have been so ugly they could change the current of a river. Chelsea Clinton was so bad even Rush Limbaugh hinted she looked like the first dog on his tv show.
If the worst any 18 year old has had to experience growing up is being mocked for their height, they’ve got off very lightly.
Amy Carter???
SNL is performing down to expectations. I long for the Not Ready for Prime Time players...back when talent existed.
Yea remember her? Daughter of Jimmah Carter? She was cute with long red hair. One picture of her is with her holding a Siamese cat. She was cute.
Then we got Web Hubble’s kid Chelsea. barf.
Barron is fair game I guess after all those previous skits about Hunter Biden.
snl? It quit being relevant decades ago. They probably thought shelsee clintoon was/is awesome.
SNL ceased to be funny about 20 years ago.
Does anyone still watch SNL? Bunch of losers who can’t make it as comedians.
Yes. Those were the days. Most of the members are still around, albeit older, much older, but they could still do a skit or two. Is that crazy? But I sure wouldn’t like them to use the writers SNL has these days. I don’t ever watch it, I know the skits, have seen a bit here and there. Not funny. Mean, tasteless and their politics are not my own.
I don’t see Barron shutting the White House down because he forgot and left his cocaine.
SNL savaged Amy Carter. Jane Curtain. It was just horrible.
Haven’t watched SNL since the Eddie Murphy/Phil Hartman years. No great loss, IMO.
Garth and Wayne took a hit for a “schwing” aimed at Chelsea, as I recall.
This will help Barron, not hurt him. All publicity is good publicity in show biz, remember?
AT LEAST 20 years ago ...
Barron will be like his daddy.
Hardened, tempered steel.
The more they attack, the stronger he gets.
I kinda like that they attacked him.
It tells me that they FEAR him.
And well they should.
He may have the “it” that his daddy has.
You mean Chelsea Hubbell????
There is a big difference between how Barron has lived his young life compared to how Hunter has.
SNL is not comedy.
It’s leftist political commentary labeled as comedy.
