President Donald Trump's official height has once again been called into question after he stood alongside NBA legend Dennis Rodman and his much smaller girlfriend during a rally in Texas.
Trump has long claimed that he stands at 6-foot-3, making him the third-tallest president in U.S. history after Abraham Lincoln and Lyndon B. Johnson (both 6-foot-4). However, his insistence has faced heavy scrutiny, with Trump consistently being called a liar when standing next to high-profile figures.
Last year, Trump met with Cristiano Ronaldo at the White House, and the soccer star towered over the U.S. President. Trump also appeared to be the same height as golfer Adam Scott when they were pictured together at the Presidents Cup, and now Rodman's girlfriend had sparked a fresh debate.

Trump has gone so far as to publish official medical records to prove his 6-foot-3 height, but the move has been met with heightened skepticism. Trump deals with this scrutiny whenever he stands next to a major celebrity or athlete, as their height is easy to research online.
On Thursday, Trump held an event in Texas at a Peterbilt Motors facility, where he delivered a speech on tariff policies. NBA legend Rodman attended the rally and later met with the president.

Rodman is listed at 6-foot-7, and his height was evident as he towered over Trump. However, Rodman's girlfriend then stood next to the president, and Trump was only slightly taller.
The former NBA star has been dating rapper Yella Yella since 2022, and the couple has ignored the 31-year age difference. Rodman's girlfriend is listed as 5-foot-7, but she appeared to be only a couple of inches shorter than Trump.
During their meeting with Trump, the president praised Rodman's NBA legacy, but then questioned why the rapper was dating him. "This guy could rip those rebounds. Best rebounder in the history of basketball! You look good too, Dennis," Trump said, before focusing on his girlfriend.
Trump then said, "You with that guy? What the hell are you doing with him for?"

The situation with Rodman follows the height investigation that stemmed from the recent Presidents Cup. Scott, who stands 6 feet tall, was no shorter than Trump despite the alleged 3-inch difference.
Last year, soccer icon Ronaldo looked down on Trump, despite his 6-foot-2 stature, which should make him marginally smaller. Now, Rodman's girlfriend has continued the debate, following a bizarre appearance at Trump's rally.
Trump suggested at the rally that Rodman had strong ties to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, with the former NBA star spending considerable time in Pyongyang. "When I wanted to get to know Kim Jong Un, the one who knew him best was Dennis Rodman," Trump said.
"They asked Dennis to come over and work with their basketball team. Dennis worked with them. I'm not sure he was able to do much with that particular team."
