"Why don't presidents fight the war? Why do they always send the poor?"

Barron stands at a staggering 6’9’’ tall, meaning he may be too tall for the Army, particularly for specific roles involving restricted space like armored vehicles, tanks, or aircraft. Generally, max height limits (e.g., 80 inches/6'8" in the US Army) are enforced to ensure safety and fit within equipment.

At least a better reason that a heel spores diagnosis given by a doctor who rents an office off your father...

Idiots. You are all fucking idiots. Yes, you; from OP to every single person in the comments. All of you are too fucking stupid to spend even 30 seconds reading past the most bullshit, click-bait, headline of all time.

No one is talking about reinstating the draft. No one is talking about specifically excluding Barron Trump. Do you dumb fucks want to know what this article is actually about?

IF the draft DID get reinstated (despite literally no one considering it), Barron Trump MIGHT get exempt because he TECHNICALLY falls outside the maximum height requirements (no special treatment, just the actual limits already defined and laid out).

That's it. That's fucking it. No nepotism. No potential draft. Just complete made up horseshit. It's like saying "If we made drinking milk mandatory for people who are younger than 18, Baron Trump might be excluded because he's older than 18." Like, no fucking shit. That's not a news story, its like a hypothetical a child would come up with.

All of you need to go look in a fucking mirror and rethink your media literacy, because it's fucking garbage. You fucking idiots.

It ain't me, it ain't me.

I ain't no fortunate son!

Sounds like a draft is being planned for the occupation of Iran, aka Vietnam v.4

I doubt it, or at least, I hope you're wrong. This would go down like a lead balloon if they did it. The war is super unpopular in the US, probably super, suuuper unpopular among military age young men... who are, broadly speaking, either far left, or anti-semitic...... like, a draft is a potential mass unrest inducing event. surely they won't do it

diagnosed President Trump with bone spurs as a favor to his father, Fred Trump, in order to help him avoid the military draft.

So Barron might be "too tall" to serve his country...? and even if he's not I'm sure we'll find out real quick that bone spurs run in the family.

It's so insane that it has always been standard practice for wealthy and powerful men to start wars then refuse to send their own children to fight, but it's especially egregious watching the Trump administration carry this shit out. The level of planning leading up to this to create another endless war seems so obvious in hindsight.

•Hegseth's "anti-woke" military speech

•Elimination of government loans for education (even for nursing and medical school, so only the wealthy can afford an education, let alone a deferment. If you're not born rich you have 2 options: take out private loans at a huge interest rate or join the army. Sign yourself over to the oligarchs one way or the other.)

•Up the country's birth rates (gotta gradually replace them as they die by the thousands at war)

•Openly admitting your goal is to eliminate the entire department of education. Because you don't need an education when your entire path birth to death has already been laid out for you:

You're born to serve while Trump and his oligarchs sit in their country club and move you around like a piece of plastic on a game board.

Life is hard and it seems like people are constantly fighting and dying around you from the moment you're born. It's all you know. Everyone around you is sick, destitute, and miserable. There are no jobs. You have no education. You know nothing but struggle and see no future for yourself.

The army is the only hand reaching out and offering to help pull you up, so you grab it.

Then you either die thousands of miles away from your home or you come back and spend the rest of your life wounded, without a doubt mentally and pretty often physically.

If you try to speak out against it or warn others, you're accused of being "woke." There is no hesitation to show you how little your rights, that you were told you were fighting for, mean to the people who sent you to fight.

Perfect opportunity to send Eric ..

I've been expecting this for a long time. Trump will definitely attempt a draft, with lots of loopholes for wealthy children.

I suspect that he'll announce it in early 2027, after the Midterms, and after the Holidays. You don't want this being the main subject of American families as they gather at Christmas. Wait until they're isolated in their homes in the January winter, then spring it on them.

I'm willing to bet he's just as deplorable as his old man.

bro, bone spurs is hereditary 😒

Like father like son

Continuing the ancient tradition of Trumps doing nothing of value for the United States of America.
