Barron Trump, who is 19-year-old and has just completed his freshman year at New York University, has found himself at the center of a controversy where netizens reacted to Trump's Iran bombings with the growing demand of enlisting

. This is in recompose for Trump's attack on Iran's nuclear facilities without receiving clearance from Congress.
After Trump sent B-2 bombers to hit Iran's main uranium enrichment site, Fordow, using powerful 'bunker buster" bombs and without getting approval from Congress, people on social media began suggesting that Barron should join the US military.

Why is Barron Trump facing heat online?
Posters on social media joked that Barron Trump would likely avoid a draft if one were to be implemented using the same "bone spurs" excuse his father did in 1968. Many on X, formerly known as Twitter, gave a common opinion that if President Trump is prepared to send other people's children into harm's way, shouldn't his own son be first in line?
'Don't panic, MAGA; not a single Trump 'male' will be anywhere near the fighting,' one person posted on X.

'If Trump decides USA should get involved in a ground war in Iran, I assume Barron will be enlisting since Trump family has so much love and support for our troops? Be a patriot!' another said.
'Barron trump should be the first young American to be deployed in donald trump's war against Iran,' one posted. "Trump has us at war. Barron should sign up for the Army now", reacted one user.

Another commented, "POTUS @Trump should order his son Barron to immediately enlist into US Army and be sent to fight Iran. Bravo' "And with the first pick of the 2025 US Draft, the US Army Selects…Barron Trump out of Mar-a-Lago"
"It should be mandatory that any sitting President who starts a war (which means every Republican) their sons MUST enlist and MUST serve in combat," another user said. "There is no reason why Barron is living in NYC with his Step Daddy Hank, living life like a normal 19 year old. He should be in boot camp right now. Or, get deported back to the country of which he sprung with his Mother."
It's worth noting that the President received five deferments during the Vietnam War—four because he was in college and one due to a claimed foot condition called bone spurs. However, that last deferment has been doubted for years. In 2019, Trump's former lawyer Michael Cohen told Congress that Trump admitted he made up the injury.

'He told me not to answer detailed questions from reporters and just say he got a medical deferment," Cohen said, according to CNN. 'He ended the conversation by saying, 'You think I'm stupid? I wasn't going to Vietnam.'"
And it is worth noticing that there is no legal requirement for children of the US Presidents to serve in the Army. Barron Trump, by all public accounts, has maintained a low profile since his father returned to office and to date no member from the Trump family has served in the US Army.
