Should Barron Trump be drafted – or left alone to keep building his $150m fortune? | Arwa Mahdawi

Prominent Maga bros have suggested the 20-year-old son of the US president should be called up this year, writes Arwa Mahdawi. Why does this seem so vanishingly unlikely?

    Didn’t they already preemptively announce that Barron is ineligible for military service because he’s too tall or some shit? As clear a signal as you can get that a draft is at least being discussed.

      If you read the article, it states that this rumor was debunked.

    If he were a better person I’d probably feel bad for saying it but he’s not and I don’t, so: good god he is a ugly. Looks like a younger smug version of his sperm donor. He looks like someone you’d have to keep your hand over your drink around. Yuck.

    Nepo baby never having to work. A leech. A parasite. I’d say yes draft his ass so that he has some worth but he’d probably accidentally shoot someone. Or cry like a little bitch when he stubs his toe.

      Everyone who votes to go to war should be the first to get drafted.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
