Outraged Americans are saying members of the Trump family should also be expected to enlist if soldiers are called up to a full-scale war in a military draft.
Sounds like a draft is being planned for the occupation of Iran, aka Vietnam v.4
Barron stands at a staggering 6’9’’ tall, meaning he may be too tall for the Army, particularly for specific roles involving restricted space like armored vehicles, tanks, or aircraft. Generally, max height limits (e.g., 80 inches/6’8" in the US Army) are enforced to ensure safety and fit within equipment.
At least a better reason that a heel spores diagnosis given by a doctor who rents an office off your father…
Honestly with this I have doubts he’s the full 6’9". Unless we have pics of him having to duck to enter rooms or something (a friend of mine is that tall, the standard American door frame is shorter than that). Anything above 6’6" is indistinguishable to most people and just registers as “holy fuck you’re tall”. And so yeah a “fucking hell you’re tall” guy being given an extra inch or two on documents to avoid a draft is just extremely believable to me, especially when his dad is a draft dodge4 planning on starting a war.
Anyways I have no evidence but that’s my little conspiracy theory
Yeah I have a relative who’s similarly tall, and he was a gunner in the airforce. I have no clue how he fit into those planes but he apparently saw combat and everything.
He had a house built for him with 8 foot door frames and 10+ foot ceilings so that he wouldn’t have to duck at home
Oh I bet he had amazing counter heights. And yeah, once you get to these heights the social model of disability starts making their height look increasingly like a disability with how much custom and specialty stuff they need. But yeah it was really fun when we were young adults watching him drunkenly navigate buildings not made for people his size.
Is he actually 6’9” or is he 6’9” the way his father is 6’3”? I wouldn’t be surprised if they just tell everyone he’s 6’9” to get him out of it if it comes down to a draft.
Don’t even need to. I’m friends with a 6’7" guy and a 6’9" guy. It’s hard to see the difference until you notice one ducks into rooms and the other doesn’t.
It takes a special turd to not draw interest from basketball programs at 6’9" in the US. There’s some teams that recruit on height alone and worry about teaching skills later. The fact that he wasn’t even sniffed at by a college coach somewhere is pretty telling.
For all we know, every single athletic program in the USA tried to get this one. But can you imagine even one of the Trump family doing actual work? No, thanks, coach!
Not really. You need to have athletic grace. I’ve got a childhood friend that tall and while he had some attempts to get him on the high school team he just obviously lacked the kinesthetic ability to play sports at even a varsity level. None of the colleges he attended even asked.
There’s a tonne of jobs he could do while being tall. While it may be a legitimate reason for not serving, it seems frivolous (especially considering the context).

The Marines don’t have a max height I believe.
If you’re down with crayons you’re good.

Just looking at the picture in the article, though, shows that he is either quite tall, or his security detail are dwarves.
Wouldn’t be the first time people in power surround themselves with particular people to make themselves look better.
He’s definitely very tall, but could be 6’7” and that would be under the restriction.
Probably wears lifts like his dad.
Don’t even need to. I’m friends with a 6’7" guy and a 6’9" guy. It’s hard to see the difference until you notice one ducks into rooms and the other doesn’t.
I’m 6’7" and my hair just brushes the top of the doorway. I’ve hit my head once and it’s been terrifying ever since.
I didn’t know they stacked shit that high.

Sounds like your childhood friend had a lot in common with Barron, Bono, and Mr. Hankey. /s
True re: Don the Con but…
Clerk, logistics, cook, etc.

I know you meant Heel Spurs, but now I’m imagining Trump taking off his shoes for a nap and a bunch of nasty mushrooms springing forth.
205.74 cm
That is tall. He’s even taller than King of Spain. US will have a magnificently tall monarch one day.
