There seems to be a big 'Draft Barron Trump' movement which is nothing more than the most mean spirited thing I have ever heard of.
First of all presidential families have always been off limits. Period.
I could only imagine the screeching and epic personal attacks had anyone said anything about one of Obama's children...even if it was true.
While it is true the fact that Hunter Biden was discharged from the Navy as an ensign for popping hot on a drug test and was given an administrative discharge, he was in fact 43 years old when he went in and 44 when he was separated from the service. Still, that one went away fast in the media even though he was a middle aged man at the time.
Barron Trump has already paid his dues in spades. Since November 2015 when Donald Trump became president-elect his childhood as we know it came to a screeching halt. From then on he could no longer grab a can of worms and a fishing pole and wander down to the pond and go fishing. He couldn't go skateboarding with his pals. taking Marylou to the corner drugstore for a malt was definitely out of the question. In short he was totally robbed of his childhood.
It's kind of hard to get your sweetie into the back seat of the family '57 Chevy with you at the drive-in when there are a trio of Secret Service agents occupying it.
He grew up with a big target painted on his back and spent most of his childhood living in a huge fish bowl.
Much to the credit of the young man he hasn't seemed to have gotten into any mischief which speaks VERY highly of him. I say that because if he was walking through an abandoned apple orchard and helped himself to an apple the media screeching would be epic. He'd be called a criminal and a thief and we'd never hear the end of it.
Currently he's being robbed of his early adulthood because he's in college and doesn't even get to go to the bathroom unattended by Secret Service agents.
All of this hate has nothing to do with Barron. They are just trying to get at his father by making the son a target. It's patently wrong. They are trying to use him as a pawn. It's disgraceful and anyone that has half of a brain knows that.
As far as I am concerned Barron has already paid his dues. Leave him alone. He has had nothing to do with anything that would make a normal person dislike him.
Besides this isn't 1942 anymore. While James Roosevelt went ashore with the 2nd Marine Raiders the Japanese had no way of knowing that FDRs son was with them. Today whatever unit a president's child is in can be found fairly easily on line. A president's child would be a feather in the cap of the enemy unit that either captured or killed them. It would also bring undue stress to the rest of the GIs in the unit they're assigned to. I know if a president's kid was assigned to the same hemisphere I'm on I'd instantly put in for a transfer. I'd want no part of that. Maybe during 1942 things were different.
Besides he'd probably make a crummy soldier because he's too damned tall. He's 6'9" tall (the limit is 6'8") As for asking for a waiver, why should he have to? To make some whiny Karen happy? Not his job.
Besides there is no draft.
The thing that really angers me is that if Barron was killed or taken prisoner most of these people would gloat and say the President deserved it which is outright sick.
The kid has my respect.
========================================
There was a Facebook thread about drafting Barron. It was mainly a bunch of Karens.
My reply was that they ought grab all of you nasty mean spirited old broads and ship the whole push of you off to the infantry.
There were penalty markers thrown for that one.
