Barron Trump is busy creating his own life in New York City. The youngest son of Donald Trump currently attends Stern Business School at New York University, and while he takes classes, his father is busy trying to change the world for the better.
The military has always been a huge deal in the US, but Donald Trump has never served in it. In fact, according to reports, Trump’s paternal line has neither offered nor performed any military service for three generations.
Now, not long after Trump decided to bomb three nuclear sites in Iran, some people online are demanding that his son, Barron Trump, should enlist in the United States Army.
Why? Well, the reason is quite sad.
Donald Trump and his family members, foremost among them his sons Donald Jr. and Eric, have always praised the military and emphasized its grave importance to the US. Interestingly, the former The Apprentice star and now President of the United States, who was re-elected to a second term last year, has never actually served in the military, even though he was called to the draft.
Donald received a draft deferment for bone spurs, instead going on to join his father, Fred, in his real estate business. The New York Times reported in 2016 that Trump, as a youngster, stated that his “heel spurs” made him unfit to serve. While heel spurs can be treated through surgery, stretches, or orthotics, Donald claimed he never underwent surgery.
“Over a period of time, it healed up,” he said, per the New York Times.
Neither Trump nor any of his children have served in the military. Through the years, several servicemen and women have come forward to criticize them for just that. However, there is one Trump family member who could change that. At least, that’s what some social media users are now demanding.
Social media users calls for Barron Trump to enlist in US Army
Donald Trump’s decision to strike three nuclear sites in Iran on June 22 left many divided. Some lawmakers called the strikes “unconstitutional,” and the fact that the president himself hasn’t served in any military capacity didn’t exactly help his cause.
While US troops have not been sent into Iran, some have made their voice clear on who should go first. On X, several users are now demanding that Trump’s youngest son, Barron, should enlist in the United States Army and be among the first to enter enemy territory.
“Don’t panic, MAGA; not a single Trump ‘male’ will be anywhere near the fighting,” one user wrote on X, per Irish Star. “Barron already has developed preemptive fake bone spurs.”
“If Trump decides USA should get involved in a ground war in Iran, I assume Baron will be enlisting since Trump family has so much love and support for our troops? Be a patriot!” one user wrote, as reported by The Spun. “SHOULD BARRON BE DEPLOYED FIRST? Before anyone else’s child is set to Iran, Barron needs to enlist and be sent to the fort lines in the war his father unconstitutionally started. Your thoughts?” another wrote.
While the rumors have not been confirmed or denied, Melania decided to put the matter to rest once and for all. Through her spokesperson, the First Lady of the United States said the rumors are “completely false.”
“Barron did not apply to Harvard and any assertion that he, or that anyone on his behalf, applied is completely false,” Nick Clemens, spokesperson for the Office of the First Lady, told Snopes.
Harvard battle
Interestingly, Harvard is one of many universities which was targeted by Donald Trump, who claims they haven’t done enough to protect Jewish students.
He previously claimed that Harvard is anti-Semitic following the massive protests for the Israel-Hamas war that broke out on campus while asserting that the Ivy League school brings in too many international students. The battle has escalated, and several lawsuits have been filed.
