This seems... Is there any actual evidence for this, or is this just kinda a wishful conspiracy? Because I'm all for calling out their hypocrisy, but not only does this family have a history of lying about their height, tall people.... exist. Approaching your full height at 19 isn't exactly uncommon.

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.
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!”
