Barron Trump is busy creating his own life. The youngest son of Donald Trump currently attends Stern Business School’s campus in Washington D,C and while he takes classes, his father is busy trying to change the world for the better. Already when Trump attacked Iran for the first time last year, social media users claimed Barron should enlist. Now, calls for it as returned.
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 and went 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 last year 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.
Now, the U.S has escalated the conflict in Iran, and while Donald Trump hasn’t deployed troops on the ground, some have made their voice clear on who should go first.
Already when Trump bombed Iran in 2025, On X, several users demanded that his 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.
“It should be mandatory that any sitting President who starts a war (which means every Republican) their sons MUST enlist and MUST serve in combat,” a third wrote. “There is no reason why Barron is living in NYC with his Step Daddy Hank, living life like a normal 19 year old. He should be in boot camp right now. Or, get deported back to the country of which he sprung with his Mother.”
Barron Trump branded “more spoiled than a princess” by news anchor
Now that Barron Trump has turned 20, the calls for him to join the military are growing louder, not least as his father is raging a war in Iran. On the 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.”
