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, as 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.

Another post read: “#SendBarron. Would certainly send a message of solidarity with our troops, and gratitude for the sacrifices they make every day.”

One user stated: “If you vote for leaders who love war, maybe you or your children should at least be first in line to explain why it’s worth it.”

Some even criticized Trump’s involvement in escalating the war while remaining safe. One person commented, “POTUS is chilling at his own country club while starting WWIII #SendBarron.”

Medical reasons Barron Trump ‘can’t join’ the US military

The first men drafted would be those turning age 20 during the calendar year of the lottery. Therefore, as Barron turns 20 in May, he could be drafted. However, it turns out to be that. The youngest son of the president could be exempt from military service. That because of medical reasons, but not in the way you might think.

As Barron stands 6’7″, he could be too tall for military roles, especially those requiring you to be in smaller spaces such as armored vehicles, tanks, and airplanes, per the Mirror.

The US Army has a height limit for several positions, which is 6’8″, which would disqualify Barron from serving.
