A satirical online campaign suggesting that Barron Trump, the youngest son of President Donald Trump, should be drafted into the military has emerged after the United States and Israel launched Operation Epic Fury against Iran, Euronews reported.

The campaign centers on a website called DraftBarronTrump.com, created by former «South Park» writer Toby Morton. The site humorously suggests that the president’s 19-year-old son should join the military as the U.S. becomes involved in the conflict. The hashtag #SendBarron has spread widely on social media as part of the campaign.

Morton, who is known for purchasing internet domain names to create political satire websites, promoted the project online. Despite gaining significant attention on social media, the website remains a satirical project rather than an organized political initiative, and the idea of Barron Trump serving in the military is hypothetical.
