US President Donald Trump’s decision to order airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear sites has stirred a new demand online – to let his 19-year-old son, Barron Trump, join the United States military.

After Trump sent B-2 bombers to hit Iran’s main uranium enrichment site, Fordow, using powerful “bunker buster" bombs and without getting approval from Congress, people on social media began suggesting that Barron should join the US military.

What Did Online Users Say?

“Don’t panic, MAGA; not a single Trump ‘male’ will be anywhere near the fighting," a user said on X.

“If Trump decides USA should get involved in a ground war in Iran, I assume Barron will be enlisting since Trump family has so much love and support for our troops? Be a patriot!" another person wrote.

“Barron Trump should be the first young American to be deployed in Donald Trump’s war against Iran," another one said.

It’s worth noting that the President received five deferments during the Vietnam War—four because he was in college and one due to a claimed foot condition called bone spurs. However, that last deferment has been doubted for years. In 2019, Trump’s former lawyer Michael Cohen told Congress that Trump admitted he made up the injury.

“He told me not to answer detailed questions from reporters and just say he got a medical deferment," Cohen said, according to CNN. “He ended the conversation by saying, ‘You think I’m stupid? I wasn’t going to Vietnam.’"
