The Trump family circle is growing − both vertically and in numbers. On May 15, President Donald Trump's youngest daughter Tiffany Trump had a baby of her own: Alexander Trump Boulos. A recent Instagram post from Donald Trump Jr. shows one of his sons standing a bit taller than him. Don Jr. is already 6'1". But recently the internet has been captivated with another Trump's height, though she isn't a Trump by blood. Lara Trump is married to Eric Trump, the president's third-oldest child. Lara Trump has been heavily involved in her father-in-law's politics and now hosts a show on Fox News, "My View with Lara Trump." So how tall is the president's daughter-in-law?

I didn't know his last name initially. I just knew I met some really tall guy out," Lara Trump said on her podcast. Lara Yunaska and Eric Trump were married in November 2014 in a ceremony at Mar-a-Lago. The couple welcomed their first child, Eric "Luke" Jr., in 2017 and their second, Carolina Dorothy, in 2019.

Trump has a new presidential portrait. These other iconic photos hang in the White House
The White House has released a new official presidential portrait of Donald Trump, his second version since he returned to office. Similar to the portrait released in January, Trump is giving the camera a serious stare with his eyebrows furrowed. But the new image features more dramatic lighting on a black backdrop, instead of the flag and ornate wall in the background of the previous portrait. Also, Trump swapped his blue tie for a red tie. The new portrait, announced in a short video on X, hangs in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building and has replaced the previous portrait on his official biography online. In his first few months in office, Trump has decorated the White House with other pieces of art that pay homage to some pivotal moments in his journey back to office. Take a look: More: Donald Trump's White House 'Gold Guy' is a 70-year-old cabinetmaker who lives in Jupiter The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment on why the portrait was updated. Trump has decorated the White House with other memorable imagery from the years between his two presidencies. In February, an open Oval Office door revealed a framed photo of Trump's mug shot taken following his 2023 arrest in Georgia on charges alleging he tried to overturn the 2020 election results. (The case never went to trial and faces an uncertain future following the disqualification of the Fulton County District Attorney). In April, the White House posted on social media showing a new portrait of Trump's fist pump after surviving an assassination attempt at a July 13 campaign event in Butler, Pennsylvania. The painting on canvas by Marc Lipp was created for Trump, a White House official previously told USA TODAY, and it replaced a portrait of former President Barack Obama on the White House State Floor. The Obama portrait was moved across the foyer. Trump's portrait, released ahead of the Inauguration, showed him wearing a similar pointed stare in front of an American flag. In 2017, he simply smiled in front of the presidential flag and ornate wall in the background, similar to his early 2025 portrait.

Why is Trump suing CBS? What to know about complaint dating back to Kamala Harris interview
The president and CEO of CBS News resigned from her position, the latest in an ongoing legal tussle between the network and President Donald Trump that started back in the 2024 presidential campaign. Wendy McMahon told staff in a memo she was leaving because she had disagreed with the company, according to Reuters. CBS News is facing a $20 billion lawsuit from Trump over how it edited his former opponent Kamala Harris' answer to a question on the U.S.-Israeli relationship in an October 2025 interview on "60 Minutes." Trump has long railed against the media, and the lawsuit against CBS is playing out amid several pushes from the administration that are alarming press freedom advocates. Here is what to know about the lawsuit. Can I still tune in to PBS and NPR? What to know after Trump's order to cut funding Trump first filed a $10 billion lawsuit against the network in October over allegations that it deceptively edited a '60 Minutes' interview with former Vice President Harris, his Democratic Party opponent in the presidential election. Trump raised the claim for damages to $20 billion in February, according to Reuters. CBS has repeatedly denied the accusations, and legal experts have told the New York Times the lawsuit is 'baseless.' The lawsuit entered mediation last month, signaling that CBS's parent company Paramount Global could choose to settle, raising concerns over how that may embolden the administration's increasingly aggressive stance toward major media organizations, the New York Times reported. McMahon's exit follows the departure of longtime "60 Minutes" executive producer Bill Owens in April. Owens, who announced he would leave the venerated show at the end of the season, cited concerns about editorial independence, according to a memo seen by Reuters. Owens said it had 'become clear that I would not be allowed to run the show as I have always run it,' according to a note to staffers, CBS reported. Yes. It is standard practice among news outlets to edit to fit time or space constraints, experts previously told USA TODAY. During a teaser clip for the interview on Oct. 6 on 'Face the Nation' when Bill Whitaker asks Harris about the U.S.-Israeli relationship, viewers see a different video response from the vice president than on the subsequent '60 Minutes' broadcast on Oct. 7.

What is Donald Trump's approval rating? Why he wants investigations into pollsters
President Donald Trump has called for election fraud investigations into pollsters after his recent negative job approval ratings. In an April 28 Truth Social post, Trump pointed to Republican pollster John McLaughlin's stance that the New York Times, the Washington Post and ABC News are "fake news organizations" reporting on "fake polls." "These people should be investigated for ELECTION FRAUD," the Truth Social post read. "They are Negative Criminals who apologize to their subscribers and readers after I WIN ELECTIONS BIG, much bigger than their polls showed I would win, loose (sic) a lot of credibility, and then go on cheating and lying for the next cycle, only worse." Trump's threat to investigate pollsters comes as several polls show declining approval ratings as he closes out his first 100 days back in the White House. Melania wore a black veil: President Trump and former President Biden attend Pope Francis' funeral A Washington Post/ABC News/Ipsos poll found more Americans disapprove (55%) of Trump's job performance than approve (39%). That is more net negative than findings in February, when 53% disapproved and 45% approved, according to the Washington Post. "Trump's approval rating is lower than for any past president at the 100-day mark in their first or second terms," the Washington Post reported. "At a similar point in their first terms as president, 42% approved of Trump and 52% approved of President Joe Biden." The poll surveyed 2,464 U.S. adults from April 18-22, 2025, with a margin of error of plus or minus two percentage points. The Washington Post and ABC did not immediately provide a comment on the potential investigation. A New York Times/Siena College poll found 42% of respondents approve of how Trump is handling his job, compared to 54% who disapprove. Results from the survey also showed that voters say Trump has "gone too far," his actions are more "scary" and "chaotic" than "exciting," and he is losing confidence on the issue of the economy, the Times reported. The findings came from an April 21-24, 2025, poll of 913 registered voters, with a margin of error of plus or minus 3.8 percentage points. The New York Times did not immediately respond to a request for comment. RealClearPolitics Poll Average shows the gap between Americans who approve of Trump's job and those who disapprove is widening, with his net approval rating becoming more negative. As of Jan. 27, Trump received a +6.2 percentage point approval rating, but as of March 13, it flipped to slightly negative, the RealClearPolitics graphics shows. His average approval rating as of April 27, according to RealClearPolitics, is -7.1 percentage points. A historical analysis by Gallup shows Trump's approval ratings as of April in his first years in office − both as the 45th and 47th presidents − are lower than any other modern president at the same time in their administrations.
