A wave of memes on the theme "Send Barron!" has risen in the United States — a call to send Donald Trump's son to war against Iran, the Bild telegram channel in Russian reports❶.
"The anger of Americans is increasingly spilling out on social networks about the actions of President Donald Trump and his reflections on the possible dispatch of ground troops to Iran. Under the hashtag "SendBarron," thousands of people are demanding that Trump's youngest son Barron be sent to the front. Opponents of the war publish memes in which a 19-year—old boy is depicted in a military uniform, as well as the legendary Uncle Sam, a recruiter in the US army, the report says.
There are a lot of harsh comments addressed to the president under such publications. For example: "Send Barron so that you at least feel for yourself how much you demand from our troops." Or: "I bet if your son is at the front, will you suddenly choose the world again?"
And on the website "DraftBarronTrump" ("call Barron Trump") they demand in a satirical form: "America is strong because its leadership is strong. President Trump proves it every day. Of course, his son Barron is more than ready to defend the country that his father leads so decisively. Service is an honor. The power is inherited." Then it says: "Dog bless Barron" — in translation: "Dog bless Barron." According to media reports, comedian and former South Park author Toby Morton is behind this site.
According to the rules, Barron Trump cannot become a soldier even if he wanted to — he is too tall. His height is 2.06 meters. The US Army has an upper limit on the height of military personnel — 2.03 meters.
