Website launched calling to draft Barron Trump following US and Middle East conflict

A website calling for Barron Trump to be drafted into the US military has been created, amid the ongoing conflict between the US and the Middle East.

Yep, that's right, people want US President Donald Trump’s youngest son, 19, to join the army following America's airstrikes on Iran.

For those who need an update on what's going on, on Saturday (28 February), the US and Israel launched joint strikes on the country, which killed at least 555 people in the region, as reported by Al Jazeera, including the country's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

According to Trump, the reason behind the attack was to 'ensure that Iran does not obtain a nuclear weapon'.

Iran quickly retaliated by firing missiles at American assets and allies, specifically targeting Israel, Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Jordan, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

Now, as the conflict enters its fourth day, the US and Israel are striking targets in Iran again, and WW3 fears are increasing around the world.

As we say, amongst all of this, a mysterious satirical website has popped up calling for Barron Trump to be drafted.

The website, called 'DraftBarronTrump.com', was created on 28 February - the same day the US launched airstrikes on Iran.

It's pretty clear that the site is intended to be satirical rather than serious, with false quotes attributed to the American President and his family.

When you click on the website, you're met with the message: "America is strong because its leaders are strong. President Trump proves that every day. Naturally, his son Barron is more than ready to defend the country his father so boldly commands. Service is an honor. Strength is inherited. Dog Bless Barron."

While the 'About Us' section says the site 'is dedicated to honoring the strongest and bravest voices in war,' adding, 'when power is projected abroad, it is only right that strength exists at home. If you’re looking for proven genes, inherited courage, and unquestionable resolve, look no further than the Trump family. Leadership starts somewhere'.

There are also a few fake testimonials thrown in there, from Trump, Donald Trump Jr., and Eric Trump.

For example, the US president's 'testimonial' reads: "People come up to me, with tears in their eyes, and they say, ‘Sir, you’re the strongest. Send Barron off to war’ I’ve always been strong. Very strong. Stronger than anyone expected. Some say the strongest ever. And strength matters. Believe me."

The president has three sons - Donald Jr., 48, Eric, 42, and Barron, 19 - and clearly, people think his perspective on casualties and war would differ if his own son were in combat.

For context, almost all male US citizens and male immigrants, who are 18 through 25, are required to register with the Selective Service.

Then, in a crisis requiring a draft, men would be called in a sequence determined by random lottery number and year of birth. Then, they would be examined for mental, physical, and moral fitness by the military before being deferred or exempted from military service or inducted into the Armed Forces.

Although the US has not had a military draft since 1973, the current happenings of the world have got people thinking.

Trump has also previously come under fire for avoiding war himself five times in the 1960s - four for academic reasons and one for bone spurs.

And now, it's looking like Barron would also escape conscription, too, if it were to happen, as according to The Independent, Barron's height of 6'9" exceeds the maximum enlistment requirements for most branches of the US military.
