A former South Park writer has drawn criticism after launching a website that calls for President Donald Trump’s youngest son, Barron Trump, to be drafted into the U.S. military and sent to a war zone.
The site, DraftBarronTrump.com, was created by Toby Morton, a 50-year-old writer who previously worked on South Park and who says he operates a network of parody and satirical websites he describes as “anti-fascist.” The site appeared as the Trump administration continues military operations against Iran aimed at weakening the country’s ruling clerical regime.
Morton’s website frames its message in a satirical tone but directly targets Barron Trump, who is 19 years old. The homepage claims the effort is meant to “honor” the president’s family by suggesting Barron should serve in combat.
“America is strong because its leaders are strong. President Trump proves that every day,” the site states. “Naturally, his son Barron is more than ready to defend the country his father so boldly commands. Service is honor. Strength is inherited.”
The site continues with exaggerated praise for the Trump family, including the phrase “Dog Bless Barron,” and additional statements about “proven genes, inherited courage, and unquestionable resolve.”
Morton also included fabricated quotes attributed to Barron’s older brothers, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, clearly written in a mocking tone. One fake quote attributed to Donald Trump Jr. suggests he would support Barron’s “sacrifice” while discussing it “from a safe distance.” Another mock quote portrays Eric Trump delivering an unrelated and rambling comment about pancakes.
Elsewhere on the site, Morton uses a common phrase frequently associated with Trump—claiming that people come to the president “with tears in their eyes”—but twists it to suggest they are asking for Barron to be sent into combat.
Morton attempted to amplify the campaign online by promoting the hashtag #SendBarron, apparently hoping to make the message spread across social media.
The stunt has attracted attention partly because Barron Trump, who turned 19 earlier this year, is currently a sophomore at New York University’s Stern School of Business, attending classes at the school’s Washington, D.C., campus.
Another detail often mentioned in connection with the proposal is Barron’s height. At approximately 6 feet 9 inches tall, he exceeds the U.S. Army’s typical maximum height standard of 6 feet 8 inches. Individuals taller than that threshold are often disqualified because military vehicles, aircraft, and equipment are designed for personnel within a certain size range.
Morton has previously generated publicity through similar online stunts. In 2025 he reportedly purchased web domains connected to the Kennedy Center, including trumpkennedycenter.org and trumpkennedycenter.com, which he used for satirical political messaging.
Critics of the new site argue that targeting a sitting president’s teenage son—particularly someone who has largely stayed out of politics—crosses a line, even if framed as satire. Supporters of Morton’s approach contend that the site is meant as political commentary about leaders sending others into war.
