Barron Trump is facing a fresh wave of calls to be drafted into the military in the wake of new policy instituting automatic military draft registration for men ages 18 to 26, Wonderwall.com can reveal. Starting December 1, eligible males will be automatically registered for the military draft pool, a detail included in an annual defense policy bill Congress signed into law in 2025.
While the last time a draft was in effect was February 1973, during the Vietnam War, plenty of vocal anti-Trump critics were quick to urge the 20-year-old to be drafted. “Will Barron be granted an exemption (or develop bone spurs)?” one person quipped on X, referring to President Donald Trump avoiding military service due to a bone spur diagnosis when he was 22 years old. Another asked, “Are they going to draft President Trump’s son, Barron Trump?” Yet another raged, “The GOP should send their children first and Barron.” “Trump faked his bone spurs so he could avoid the draft, yet now he expects others to be drafted. Baron better be the first name listed!” yet another person chimed in. One person wrote, “Barron Trump is no exception!”
The mandatory registration will also apply to green-card holders, refugees, asylum seekers and undocumented males age 18 to 26. Donald, who campaigned as the “President of Peace” before being reelected, has appeared to abandon that position, instead invading Venezuela and attacking Iran, costing the lives of many American soldiers. “As one nation, we grieve for the true American patriots who have made the ultimate sacrifice,” the 79-year-old said in response to the loss of life. However, he quickly changed gears and coldly added, “Sadly, there will likely be more before it ends. That’s the way it is.” “We’ll do everything possible where that won’t be the case,” he claimed at the time. At the moment, the president’s youngest son is probably not too worried about possibly being called into action, especially because his mother, Melania Trump, doesn’t take her eyes off of him.
“You need to be there for a child nonstop, especially when they need you, especially at that age that Barron is,” the first lady said during an interview on Fox Business. “He’s an incredible young man. We are very proud of him. Second year in Stern School of Business, and he loves it.” She added of her family’s second stint in the White House, “This time it’s very different because he’s 19 years old, and the first time, he was 10 years old. He understands politics. He gives advice to his father. We talk about it, so [it’s] very different.” Although Barron is now an adult, Melania was reportedly in charge of the guest list at his recent birthday party, from which three of his four siblings were excluded, a source revealed. “They’re not close at all,” the insider told Rob Shuter for his Substack of Donald Trump Jr., 48, Ivanka Trump, 44, and Eric Trump, 42. “This wasn’t an oversight. They were left off the list.”
“Melania is in charge, and she wanted this to be about Barron — not about Donald Trump and not about his other children,” the source said. “Barron didn’t grow up with them in the same way,” the insider explained. “There isn’t a real bond there.” Don Jr., Ivanka and Eric are Donald’s children with his late first wife,Ivana Trump. The younger of Barron’s two sisters, Tiffany Trump, 32, is Donald’s only child with second wife Marla Maples. It’s believed that Tiffany made the guest list, as she and Barron are said to have the closest bond. They have even been photographed together several times in the past.
Melania Trump is said to be doing everything in her power to keep her only son, Barron, away from his older siblings, Wonderwall.com can reveal.
The youngest Trump celebrated his 20th birthday on March 20, and one source claims only his sister Tiffany was included on the guest list.
“They’re not close at all,” the insider told Rob Shuter for his Substack. “This wasn’t an oversight. They were left off the list.” According to one report, Melania was in charge of the party invitations and decided all the attention should be on Barron.
The source explained: “Melania is in charge, and she wanted this to be about Barron, not about Donald Trump, and not about his other children.”
It should come as no surprise that 32-year-old Tiffany is said to have been on the guest list, especially since previous reports have circulated the two youngest siblings have the closest bond. The two have been photographed together looking happy in the past.
However, Barron hasn’t been photographed too often alongside his other siblings, Don Jr., 48; Ivanka, 44; and Eric, 42.
Barron Trump’s Bond With Sister Tiffany
“Barron didn’t grow up with them in the same way,” the insider noted. “There isn’t a real bond there.” Don Jr., Ivanka, and Eric are all the kids of President Trump’s first wife, Ivana, while Tiffany’s mother is Marla Maples, his second wife.
As for Melania, who has been accused of being overprotective, a source claimed she wants to keep Barron away from the spotlight, despite all eyes being on his controversial father in the White House.
The insider said, “She’s always kept Barron separate. This just made it obvious.”
Despite Barron studying at New York University’s Stern School of Business, Melania has made it clear she’s still in his corner.
While promoting her documentary, MELANIA, the 55-year-old spoke to Maria Batiromo on Fox Business, and admitted just how much she looks over her son.
“You need to be there for a child nonstop, especially when they need you, especially at that age that Barron is,” she confessed. “He’s an incredible young man; we are very proud of him. Second year in Stern School of Business, and he loves it.”
She added: “And this time it’s very different, because he’s 19 years old and the first time he was 10 years old. He understands politics, he gives advice to his father, we talk about it, so, very different.”
While Barron didn’t have his brothers on his birthday list, that has not stopped him from working with them. Barron, Don Jr. and Eric co-founded the cryptocurrency company World Liberty Financial in 2024.
According to Forbes, it has since added $1.5 billion to their coffers, with Barron taking 10 percent, or $150 million.
“He has been actively pursuing successful ventures for several years,” a source previously explained. “Turning 20 is indeed a turning point for him as he gets older and wants to engage with projects that not only interest him, but will make him a lot of money.”
The insider noted, “This is how to impress his family. He wants to make his own mark.
“He has always thought about business and truly is interested in it like his father. A lot of this ambition has to do with his desire to look good to both Donald and his mother.”
Barron Trump's new $1million beverage business is already being brutally trolled just weeks before its release date, RadarOnline.com can reveal.
The 20-year-old is listed as one of the directors of Sollos Yerba Mate, a caffeinated herbal tea, mainly popular in several South American countries, including Paraguay, Brazil, Uruguay, and Argentina…
…Many of Barron's critics do not appear to be impressed by his new business venture and would prefer to see the president's youngest son on the frontlines, especially after the Pentagon's latest order.
Starting on December 1 2026, young, eligible men ages 18-26 will be registered for the military draft pool, a detail included in an annual defense policy bill Congress signed into law in 2025.
The last time a draft was in effect was February 1973, during the Vietnam War, but plenty of people have already urged Barron to be drafted.
"Are they going to draft President Trump's son, Barron Trump?" one person asked on X. "The GOP should send their children first and Barron."
"Will Barron be granted an exemption (or develop bone spurs)?" another noted on X, referring to the college student's father avoiding military service due to a bone spur diagnosis when he was 22 years old.
At the moment, Barron is not being set for the war, especially if his mother, Melania, can help it.
In an interview with Fox Business, the 55-year-old said: "You need to be there for a child nonstop, especially when they need you, especially at that age that Barron is."
She added, "He's an incredible young man; we are very proud of him. Second year in Stern School of Business, and he loves it."
Melania was quickly slammed for her comments and was accused of being a "helicopter" parent...
