Former "South Park" writer, Toby Morton, launched a satirical website urging President Donald Trump to enlist his youngest son, Barron Trump, in the U.S. military amid the strikes being carried out by the United States and Israel on Iran.
The site, titled DraftBarronTrump.com, focused on Barron's "bravery" and "proven genes" as arguments for sending him to the battlefield, featuring comedic images of him sleeping, which sparked a wave of sarcastic comments on social media under the hashtag #DraftBarron.

Humorous Testimonials from the Family
The page included funny comments from Trump family members, such as:
Donald Trump Jr.: "This moment is really about Barron… he represents strength, courage, and service, and I will honor this sacrifice in my own way, probably by talking about it from a safe distance."
Eric Trump: "People always say I’m dumb… I think a lot about pies, and if I rush it, I ruin everything.".
Reactions and Spread of the Campaign
The hashtag #DraftBarron quickly spread among internet users, while some reminded others of the military service issue within the Trump family, as Donald Trump avoided the draft during the Vietnam War after being diagnosed with a bone issue.
Despite the humor, sending Barron to the battlefield seems practically unrealistic, as he stands 2.05 meters tall, exceeding the maximum height allowed for enlistment in the U.S. military (2.03 meters).
