Donald Trump has long been known for avoiding the Vietnam War draft. Recently, reports that his youngest son, Barron Trump, also will not be entering military service have stirred anger among many Americans. The reason? A medical exemption. At the same time, tensions in the Middle East have escalated dramatically. The conflict involving Iran has intensified, with U.S. and Israeli forces striking multiple locations, including targets in the capital, Tehran. Over the weekend, Iran’s supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, was reportedly killed during the strikes.
#SendBarron hashtag trending in connection to Iran war
The fact that Donald Trump possibly lied his way out of the draft has not gone down well among many Americans, not least military personnel and their families.
Over the weekend, when the war in Iran began, the hashtag #SendBarron trended.
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.
