'South Park' Writer Trolls Trump With A 'Very Strong' Pitch For Barron After Iran Attack

A former “South Park” writer has proposed that the president’s son, Barron Trump, be sent off to war as his father explains the rationale behind the deadly strikes on Iran this past weekend. Toby Morton, a comedian behind dozens of websites trolling Donald Trump and others in MAGA world, dropped his latest creation — DraftBarronTrump.com — along with a “very strong” pitch for the president’s son to defend the red, white and blue in a conflict that’s killed at least four U.S. service members and seriously wounded four others since Saturday. “America is strong because its leaders are strong. President Trump proves that every day,” the website reads. “Naturally, his son Barron is more than ready to defend the country his father so boldly commands. Service is honor. Strength is inherited. Dog Bless Barron.” The site’s “About Us” section features a declaration that “when power is projected abroad, it is only right that strength exists at home.” “If you’re looking for proven genes, inherited courage, and unquestionable resolve, look no further than the Trump family. Leadership starts somewhere,” the section reads. A mock testimonial from the president on the site also doubles down on this sentiment. “People come up to me, with tears in their eyes, and they say, ‘Sir, you’re the strongest. Send Barron off to war,’” it begins. “I’ve always been strong. Very strong. Stronger than anyone expected. Some say the strongest ever. And strength matters. Believe me.” HuffPost has reached out to Morton for comment on his site. The self-proclaimed “peace president”— who vowed to stop the U.S. from taking part in forever wars on the campaign trail — hasn’t ruled out sending American troops to Iran “if necessary.” On Monday, he left the door open for an operation that lasts “far longer” than the four- to five-week timeline he’s publicly set for the military campaign. Following the deaths of three Americans in combat Sunday, Trump said that “Sadly, there will likely be more” deaths before the conflict ends, adding, “That’s the way it is; likely be more. But we’ll do everything possible where that won’t be the case.” By entering your email and clicking Sign Up, you're agreeing to let us send you customized marketing messages about us and our advertising partners.
