Social media went into a frenzy when the U.S began its war in Iran, demanding that Donald Trump’s youngest son, Barron Trump, also should enlist. Now, a television anchor blasts the 20-year-old. for not enlisting in the army.
The war in the Middle East is raging on. It’s now been more than a month since Donald Trump decided to go to war with Iran, and as of today, no ending is in sight.
Meanwhile, many have shown their anger towards Trump and his family, who cheer on the war, although neither the president nor his family members have been in the military.
Now, however, that could change. Trump’s youngest son, Barron Trump, has turned 20, which means he could join. Already, when the war in Iran began, social media users urged Barron to join the war.
One user wrote: “Why not demonstrate that Trump family spirit of patriotism and sacrifice by sending Barron to fight Iran?”
“At least someone from the Trump family should demonstrate how patriotic they are by serving instead of grifting,” a second added.
Another post read: “#SendBarron. Would certainly send a message of solidarity with our troops, and gratitude for the sacrifices they make every day.”
One user stated: “If you vote for leaders who love war, maybe you or your children should at least be first in line to explain why it’s worth it.”
Barron Trump branded “more spoiled than a princess” by news anchor
Some even criticized Trump’s involvement in escalating the war while remaining safe. One person commented, “POTUS is chilling at his own country club while starting WWIII #SendBarron.”
Now that Barron Trump has turned 20, the calls for him to join the military are growing louder. On U.S. television network MS NOW, anchor Lawrence O’Donnell is the latest one in the line to now share his thoughts on Barron.
O’Donnell now blasts Barron as being “spoiled” as he hasn’t enlisted yet, accusing Barron of being a draft dodger.
“After Barron Trump celebrated his 20th birthday in lavish style last week – as a Trump, he could have marched straight down to a recruiting station and joined the army to fight in his father’s war,” the anchor said Wednesday on his The Last Word show, per NY Post.
O’Donnell continued by explaining that President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s four children all served in WWII, while Queen Elizabeth also served in uniform while her father was still king.
“Does Barron Trump know how to drive? Could he drive an ambulance in the Army, or is he not quite as tough as the 18-year-old Princess Elizbathez was when she joined the war effort?” O’Donnell continued. “Imagine. Imagine being more spoiled than an English princess on her way to becoming queen of England. That is what it means to be a Trump – more spoiled than the British royal family.”
Medical reason Barron Trump hasn’t enlisted for U.S Army
While the Trump family isn’t known for enlisting in the army, with Donald Trump reportedly lying his way out of service, having a doctor claim he had bone spurs, the reason why Barron Trump hasn’t joined the army might be a matter of height.
The first men drafted would be those turning age 20 during the calendar year of the lottery. Therefore, as Barron has turned 20, he could be drafted. However, it turns out to be that. The youngest son of the president could be exempt from military service. That because of medical reasons, but not in the way you might think.
As Barron stands 6’7″, he may be too tall for military roles, especially those that require working in confined spaces, such as armored vehicles, tanks, and airplanes, per the Mirror. The U.S Army has a height limit for several positions of 6’8″, which would disqualify Barron from serving.
