Barron Trump has been trending online after the U.S. launched strikes connected to the conflict with Iran. A satirical website, DraftBarronTrump.com, went viral urging Donald Trump to send his youngest son to war.
Created by former South Park writer Toby Morton, the site mocks political rhetoric by claiming Barron is ready to defend the country and includes a fake testimonial from Trump.
Although meant as satire, the site sparked strong reactions online. The hashtag #SendBarron trended as some critics used it to express anger over U.S. involvement in the Iran conflict, arguing that political leaders and their families should share the risks of war.
