Donald Trump is well-known to have avoided the draft for the Vietnam War. Now, it seems his youngest son, Barron Trump, won’t be heading into the military either, which has made Americans furious. Why? All because of a medical exemption.
The war in Iran is in full force. US and Israeli troops have bombed several sites, including the capital of Tehran, and during the weekend killed Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Meanwhile, Iran responded, and as of Tuesday, six US service members have been killed. Exact figures about deaths on the Iranian site have not been confirmed.
While Donald Trump and his administration have acted to strike Iran without congressional approval, many have questioned whether the president, who hasn’t served in the army, knows what he is doing.
Neither Donald nor his children, Donald Jr., Eric, Ivanka, and Tiffany, have served in the military, which leaves Barron Trump to possibly become the first of his family to do so.
It’s well known that Donald Trump avoided the draft several times. For example, Dr. Larry Braunstein, a podiatrist in Queens who died some 20 years ago, diagnosed Trump with bone spurs as a favor to his father, Fred, which helped him dodge military service.
In 2016, Trump revealed that a physician “gave me a letter – a very strong letter – on the heels” to submit to draft officials. However, strangely, he couldn’t recall the doctor’s name.
