An image of Donald Trump and European leaders standing in a line is doing the rounds after people remembered what the former's height was said to be.
You may have heard whispers and rumours of Trump's height, with no definitive answer being given despite claims that he's over six feet tall.
In fact, according to legal records from his most recent physical in April 2025, the US President is listed at 6’3” (190 cm) and 224 pounds (101kg).
Many have probably raised their eyebrows at their screens over those numbers, while others have taken to social media to voice their disbelief at the claims.

These voices get even louder when the celebrities that are also listed at the same height are pointed out.
Some of these names include the late, great, Muhammad Ali and the actor behind Thor, Chris Hemsworth.
But now, following a high-stakes meeting at the White House with the likes of Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Keir Starmer, people have started commenting on Trump's height again.
As well as those mentioned, France's Emmanuel Macron, Italy's Giorgia Meloni, Germany's Friedrich Merz, Finland's Alexander Stubb, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte and Ursula von der Leyen, the president of the EU Commission, attended the meeting.

Following this, Trump claimed: "At the conclusion of the meetings, I called President Putin and began arrangements for a meeting, at a location to be determined, between President Putin and President Zelenskyy.
"After the meeting takes place, we will have a trilat which would be the two presidents plus myself."
While this remains to be seen, a photo of those at the meeting has been seen.
Trump, at his alleged stature of 6’3”, could be seen next to Zelenskyy, 5’7”, and Macron, 5’8”.
But without looking too closely, you can probably see that there isn't a seven or eight inch difference between the leaders and Trump.

For reference, Merz, pictured second from right, is listed at 6’4”.
This isn't the first time he's come under fire for his stature either, with many remembering his meeting with Prince Williams in December 2024, as while both are listed at 6’3”, Williams towered over the 47th US President.
Some took to Reddit, claiming that the President wears lifts in his shoes, with one writing: "Zoom in to those bad boys. Gotta be 2 inch heels on em [sic]."
Another added: "Trump is the shortest 6ft 3in ever."

Despite all the suggestions though, White House physician Captain Sean Barbella stated that Trump 'exhibits excellent cognitive and physical health and is fully fit to execute the duties of the Commander-in-Chief and Head of State', while being listed at 6’3” and 224 lbs.
Trump's meeting with Putin also raised questions, as while the Russian leader is listed at 5’7”, rumours spread of him using lifts of his own.
Regardless though, it once again did not appear like there was a gap of eight inches between the two - though there is nothing wrong with being a short king.
Let the argument rage on.
