Is Barron Trump taller than all US Presidents? Here's what we know
There is no doubt that Barron Trump, the 18-year-old son of Donald and Melania Trump, is the tallest among his family members.
Following his mother's social media post showing the 18-year-old at the voting booth during Election Day 2024, public interest in his height increased significantly.
Current internet searches indicate Barron stands at 6 feet, 9 inches. However, during his graduation ceremony at Oxbridge Academy in West Palm Beach in May, reports suggested he measured 6 feet, 7 inches.
Although male height typically stabilises post-puberty at approximately age 18, some individuals continue growing into their early twenties.
According to Google, Barron Trump's height matches that of NBA player LeBron James at 6-foot-7.
This makes him the tallest amongst his siblings and taller than his father, who measures 6 feet, 3 inches.
His mother, who previously worked as a model, is 5-foot-11. His half-brothers measure differently, with Eric Trump at 6-5 and Donald Trump Jr. at 6-1.

'Going to sue his a** off': Trump vs Rupert Murdoch over 'birthday note' to Epstein. What does the alleged letter contain?
The controversy over US President Donald Trump's handling of records from the Jeffrey Epstein investigation took a new turn after Wall Street Journal published a story about an alleged off-color letter written by him to late disgraced financier that featured a drawing of a naked woman. The letter revealed by WSJ was reportedly collected by British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell as part of a birthday album for Epstein. The letter bearing Trump's name includes text framed by the outline of what appears to be a hand-drawn naked woman and ends with, 'Happy Birthday — and may every day be another wonderful secret,' according to the newspaper. The outlet described the contents of the letter but did not publish a photo showing it entirely.

According to the WSJ, Trump's letter contained multiple lines of typewritten text surrounded by what looked to be a hand-drawn outline of a naked lady. The Journal claims that the outline featured details intended to show the woman's breast. Trump's signature, which was intended to resemble pubic hair, was made over the woman's waist. 'A pair of small arcs denotes the woman's breasts, and the future president's signature is a squiggly 'Donald' below her waist, mimicking pubic hair," the Journal report says. Live Events The note is allegedly styled as an imaginary third-person conversation between Trump and Epstein. It ends with the line: 'A pal is a wonderful thing. Happy Birthday – and may every day be another wonderful secret.' The origins of the letter is yet to be known and it is not known how the version bearing Trump's signature was produced, the WSJ said in its report.

President Trump has threatened to sue WSJ over its report on a letter allegedly bearing his signature in Jeffrey Epstein's 2003 birthday album, calling the document 'fake.' 'I told Rupert Murdoch it was a Scam, that he shouldn't print this Fake Story. But he did, and now I'm going to sue his ass off, and that of his third rate newspaper,' Trump wrote on Truth Social Thursday night.

Check details He followed up on Friday morning and said 'I look forward to getting Rupert Murdoch to testify in my lawsuit against him and his 'pile of garbage' newspaper, the WSJ.' Trump denied writing the letter or drawing the figure. 'This is not me. This is a fake thing. It's a fake Wall Street Journal story,' he said. 'I never wrote a picture in my life. I don't draw pictures of women. It's not my language. It's not my words.' He also expressed his frustration with WSJ on Truth Social and attacked the Editor in a post, saying: 'The Editor of The Wall Street Journal, Emma Tucker, was told directly by Karoline Leavitt, and by President Trump, that the letter was a FAKE, but Emma Tucker didn't want to hear that. Instead, they are going with a false, malicious, and defamatory story anyway.' The commander-in-chief seemed very sure of suing WSJ. "President Trump will be suing The Wall Street Journal, NewsCorp, and Mr. Murdoch, shortly. The Press has to learn to be truthful, and not rely on sources that probably don't even exist," he said.

Check symptoms Jeffery Epstein row The Republican president is already facing a firestorm over his past relationship with Epstein, and claims that his administration is covering up lurid details of Epstein's crimes to protect rich and powerful figures. Epstein died by suicide in a New York prison in 2019 -- during Trump's first term -- after being charged with sex trafficking in a scheme where he allegedly groomed young and underage women for sexual abuse by the rich and powerful. Trump supporters expected the Republican to answer their questions on his return to office this January but now find themselves being told the conspiracy theories are false. Trump in recent days has berated as 'weaklings' supporters vying for more records from the Epstein probe. The Justice Department and FBI said in a memo made public earlier this month there is no evidence that the disgraced financier kept a "client list" or was blackmailing powerful figures. They also dismissed the claim that Epstein was murdered in jail, confirming his suicide, and said they would not be releasing any more information on the probe.

Warning! DON'T Google ‘Nazi' and ‘LGBT' in Russia or you could be fined Rs 5,600; know why
In a move that has sparked global concern over digital rights and freedom of expression, Russia has introduced a controversial law that punishes individuals for merely searching certain "extremist" keywords online. This includes terms like the LGBT movement and Nazi ideology, which are now classified as forbidden content—even when searched privately. According to The Washington Post reports, Russians could be fined $65 (approximately Rs 5,600) for these searches. The law expands state control over internet activity, raising questions about growing online surveillance, the role of VPNs, and the future of digital privacy in authoritarian regimes. What is the new Russian law on banned internet topics and online searches Russia's latest law adds a new dimension to online censorship. Simply searching terms like 'LGBT movement' or 'Nazi' could now make you liable for legal penalties—even if done in private. With expanded fines for VPN promotion and sweeping definitions of extremism, the Kremlin has tightened its grip on digital freedom, leaving citizens with fewer safe spaces to seek truth or express dissent. Under the new legislation, searching online for banned topics is now a punishable offense in Russia—even if the individual does not post, share, or promote such content publicly. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Villas Prices In Dubai Might Be More Affordable Than You Think Villas In Dubai | Search Ads Get Quote Undo Previously, enforcement targeted those who distributed "extremist materials." But now, just looking up these terms on Google or other search engines is enough to face legal action. The law sets a fine of $65 (Rs 5,600) for such online activity. What's more, the definition of "extremist" has been stretched far beyond terrorism or violence to include civil rights movements and ideologies. What topics are considered "extremist" in Russia Russia maintains a rapidly growing list of over 5,500 banned subjects, many of which are controversial and vague. According to government authorities: The LGBTQ+ movement is labeled "extremist" Nazi views or any references to Nazi ideology are restricted Groups like Al-Qaeda and other terrorist organizations are also on the list This broad classification allows authorities to suppress not only violent extremism but also social activism and minority advocacy, essentially criminalizing curiosity and free thought. VPN promotion now a crime: Russia slaps hefty fines on such tools Unfortunately, using a VPN—a virtual private network that hides browsing activity—is not a safeguard anymore. In fact, the Russian government is cracking down on those who promote or distribute VPN services. Individuals found guilty of promoting VPNs can be fined up to $2,500 (Rs 2.1 lakh) Companies may face fines as high as $13,000 (Rs 10.8 lakh) These harsh penalties aim to shut down any tools that help bypass Russia's internet firewall, mirroring the censorship tactics seen in other authoritarian regimes. Why is Russia officials claiming the censorship on online activity Russian officials claim these measures are vital in the context of "wartime information control"—a reference to the country's ongoing geopolitical tensions. The law was discreetly added to a completely unrelated bill about freight transport, signaling how the Kremlin is increasingly embedding censorship into everyday legal frameworks. Critics argue this is nothing but digital authoritarianism, and yet another blow to civil liberties, especially in a country where the state already dominates media narratives. Global reactions on Russia surveillance online activity While domestic opposition remains muted due to heavy state surveillance, international observers and human rights organizations have condemned the new law. They warn that it: Criminalises information access Violates freedom of expression Expands online surveillance Many fear it sets a dangerous precedent for other countries seeking to police the internet.

US designates TRF, which claimed responsibility for Pahalgam attack, as terror group
The United States on Thursday designated The Resistance Front, which claimed responsibility for the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack, as a foreign terror group. The US State Department said that it had added TRF to its list of Foreign Terrorist Organizations and Specially Designated Global Terrorists. TRF is an affiliate of the terror group Lashkar-e-Taiba, according to the Indian government. Lashkar-e-Taiba and all its affiliates, including TRF, are designated terror outfits in India under the 1967 Unlawful Activities Prevention Act. The terror attack at Baisaran near Pahalgam town in Jammu and Kashmir on April 22 left 26 persons dead and 16 injured. The terrorists targeted tourists after asking their names to ascertain their religion, the police said. All but three of those killed were Hindu. On May 7, New Delhi had said that TRF had claimed responsibility for the Pahalgam attack. The US State Department said that besides Pahalgam, TRF had claimed responsibility for several terror attacks against Indian security forces, including most recently in 2024. 'These actions taken by the Department of State demonstrates the Trump administration's commitment to protecting our national security interests, countering terrorism and enforcing President [Donald] Trump's call for justice for the Pahalgam attack,' the department said. The US also maintained the foreign terror group designation given to the Lashkar-e-Taiba. In response to the Pahalgam attack, India on May 7 launched military strikes – codenamed Operation Sindoor – on what New Delhi claimed were terrorist camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. India had exercised its right to retaliate responsibly to the Pahalgam attack, Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri had said, adding that there were indications of further impending attacks against the country. Misri had said that the Pahalgam attack was driven by the terrorists' objective to disrupt normalcy returning to Jammu and Kashmir and hurt the booming tourism industry. The attack was also aimed at provoking communal discord in India, he added. The foreign secretary said that Pakistan had not taken clear steps to act against terrorists in its territory and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. The Pakistani military had retaliated to Indian strikes by repeatedly shelling Indian villages along the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir. At least 22 Indian civilians and eight defence personnel were killed. On May 10, India and Pakistan reached an 'understanding' to halt firing following a four-day conflict.
