Barron Trump Slammed as ‘More Spoiled Than a Princess’ Americans Demand He Join Iran War

People are taking shots at Barron Trump online, calling him more spoiled than a princess because he has not joined the military while his father deals with the war in Iran. The 20 year old just had a big birthday celebration and some folks think it is time for him to step up and show some real patriotism from the Trump family.

On social media the talk has gotten pretty heated. Users are pushing the idea that someone from the family should enlist to stand with the troops. Posts say things like why not prove that Trump spirit of sacrifice by sending Barron to fight in Iran.

Others started a hashtag SendBarron arguing it would send a strong message of solidarity and thanks to the men and women actually serving. One comment even joked that the president is relaxing at his country club while things heat up overseas.

The criticism got louder after television anchor Lawrence ODonnell went off on his show The Last Word. He pointed out how Barron turned twenty and could have walked right into a recruiting station to join the army for his dads war. ODonnell asked if Barron even knows how to drive and wondered if he could handle something basic like driving an ambulance. Then he brought up history saying imagine being less tough than an eighteen year old Princess Elizabeth who jumped in to help during World War Two. He said being more spoiled than an English princess on her way to becoming queen of England pretty much sums up what it means to be a Trump more spoiled than the British royal family.

O Donnell also reminded everyone that President Franklin Roosevelt had all four of his kids serve in World War Two and that the future queen got her hands dirty fixing vehicles in uniform. The point landed hard with people already frustrated about the ongoing conflict that has dragged on for over a month now with no clear end.

There might be one practical reason keeping Barron out of certain roles though. At six foot seven he is extremely tall and the army has height limits around six foot eight for some positions like tanks airplanes and armored vehicles. That could make things tricky for him physically.

Still the conversation keeps growing with questions about why none of the eligible Trump kids have signed up. It has even sparked satirical sites and polls wondering what people think about the whole situation.

Do you believe Barron should enlist in the US Army to set an example. Feel free to share your thoughts below.
