Not only the Trumps who are born into the family, including Baron Trump, who stands at an impressive 6 ft 7 inches tall, but also the ones who are married into the family, like first lady Melania Trump who is 5' 11", have created ripples for their height. 

Recently, Eric Trump's wife Lara made news when she announced that she would be hosting her own show, ‘My View’ on Fox News. Her announcement on social media also highlighted her majestic height as compared to other important women in the administration.

Lara Trump’s height highlighted in her new post

President Donald Trump’s daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, 42, is coming up with her new opinion-based show on Fox News on the weekend, starting this Saturday, February 22. 

To celebrate the occasion, Lara posted a carousel of images with various White House women in power, including the White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt. 

While the images are celebratory in themselves, they also highlight Lara’s impressive height.

In one of those photos, where Lara Trump was standing on one side of a White House podium, Leavitt was standing on the other. It naturally drew attention to their height difference, with Lara standing at least a head taller than the press secretary. 

As reported by The List, Lara once confirmed her height to be 5 feet, 11 inches. But when she chooses to wear heels, her height naturally gets boosted even more. 

Speaking to The Times, she once said, "I'm 5 feet, 11 inches and when I put heels on it's more like 6 feet, 3 inches."

In contrast, Leavitt stands at a modest 5 feet, 4 inches tall, as mentioned in her college softball stats. Still, the youngest press secretary is by no means a petite woman, as she still has half an inch advantage over an average American woman whose height is billed at 5 feet, 3.5 inches.

In the carousels, Lara posed with several other women including, Kristi Noem, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, and Danica Patrick, with Leavitt being the second-shortest of the group. Patrick leads the shortest woman on the list with a height of 5 feet, 2 inches.
