A 'South Park' Writer Launches Campaign to Send Trump's Son to War Against Iran

Operation Epic Fury — in which the United States and Israel have carried out numerous airstrikes against Iran — has claimed the lives of six American service members.

Donald Trump has drawn criticism for what many have described as a lack of concern over the loss of life. During his brief remarks at a Medal of Honor ceremony held in the aftermath of the strikes, commentators noted that Trump appeared indifferent to the deaths, choosing instead to discuss his plans for a new ballroom at the White House.

This has fueled speculation about whether the self-styled "president of Peace" would respond differently if his own son were enlisted. With that premise in mind, former South Park writer Toby Morton launched the satirical — and now viral — website DraftBarronTrump.com.

The site mocks Donald Trump by encouraging him to send his youngest son, Barron, to war. It cites Trump's "bravery" and "proven genes" as arguments for deploying the 19-year-old into combat, while displaying photos of him taking a nap.

"America is strong because its leaders are strong," reads the site's tagline. "President Trump demonstrates this every day. Naturally, his son Barron is more than ready to defend the country his father so boldly commands." It concludes: "Service is honor. Strength is inherited. God bless Barron."

The site, described as "dedicated to honoring the strongest and bravest voices in the war," also features absurdist testimonials, including one attributed to Barron's brother, Donald Trump Jr.: "This moment is really about Barron, okay? It always has been. He represents strength, courage, and service. I'm going to honor that sacrifice in my own way — mainly by talking about it from a safe distance."

Another is signed by Eric Trump: "People always say I'm stupid, which is totally unfair, because I understand a lot about pancakes. Pancakes are complex. You've got batter, heat, time. If you rush it, you ruin the whole thing. I think about pancakes a lot. Mostly about pancakes."

Morton, who has gained notoriety for purchasing domain names and building satirical websites, has promoted the site on social media alongside another project — ResignChuck.com — which calls for the resignation of Democratic Party leader Chuck Schumer over his alleged failure to adequately oppose Trump's agenda.

The launch of DraftBarronTrump.com gave rise to the hashtag #SendBarron, with thousands of social media users demanding that Barron be called up to serve alongside the soldiers his father has sent into battle.
