The United States’ surprise attack on Iran, under Trump administration, left the world stunned on Sunday as three nuclear bases were reportedly hit. Iran, as a result, pledged to take revenge with Ebrahim Rezaei, Iranian parliamentarian and hardliner, issuing a chilling warning to US troops: “Bring a sufficient number of coffins with you, along with the B-2.” 

Hours after the warning, Iran attacked US air bases in neighboring Qatar.

As fear of potential war grows, people on the Internet are joking how Trump’s youngest son, Barron, might use the same excuse as his father  to avoid participating in the war. As per The New York Times report, a foot doctor reportedly helped Donald Trump avoid the Vietnam war. Daughters of a Queens podiatrist have claimed that their late father diagnosed Trump with bone spurs as a ‘favor’ to his father, Fred Trump.

 

Bone spurs can be defined as extra growths of bone tissues that look like smooth lumps on bone. 

Dr. Elysa Braunstein and Sharon Kessel, the two women, told that their father, Dr. Larry Braunstein, who died in 2007, often discussed that he provided Trump with the diagnosis of bone spurs in his heels, in 1968, so he could be exempt from military service. Trump was 22 at that time.

“It was family lore. Something we would always discuss” among family and friends, Elysa Braunstein told the portal. 

The women mentioned that Trump didn’t actually have a foot ailment, although they couldn’t provide a document to confirm their story. 

However, in 2016, Trump told The New York Times that a doctor “gave me a letter – a very strong letter – on the heels” to provide to draft officials.

Netizens now believe that 19-year-old Barron, who studies in New York City, might use the same excuse if the US goes to war against Iran. Poking fun at the family, an X user wrote, “Barron Trump is 19 yrs old. Will he be enlisting in the military or claiming he inherited daddy’s bone spurs?”

Another person joked, “Barron Trump about to suddenly find out bone spurs are hereditary.”

“If there’s a military draft, will Eric Trump, Don Jr., and Barron suddenly get Bone spurs?” wrote another. 

“My son isn’t getting drafted for Mr. Bone Spurs war until I see Barron lace up his boots and deploy there,” someone else took a dig. 

Netizens certainly had a field day mocking the Trump family. Meanwhile, Donald Trump announced ceasefire between the conflicting countries while pleading them not to violate it. “The ceasefire is now in effect. Please don’t violate it!” he wrote in Truth Social post. 

“Israel & Iran came to me, almost simultaneously, and said, “PEACE!” I knew the time was NOW. The World, and the Middle East, are the real WINNERS!” he wrote in another post.
