The Borowitz Report: Trump Sends Barron to Podiatrist
Link: https://www.borowitzreport.com/p/trump-sends-barron-to-podiatrist
WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—In a nationally televised address Saturday night, Donald J. Trump announced that he had ordered his son Barron to visit a podiatrist.
“My fellow Americans, earlier this evening, at my command, Barron saw a podiatrist,” said Trump, flanked by JD Vance, Marco Rubio, and Pete Hegseth. “I am pleased to announce that he has returned home safely.”
“Barron’s mission was to obtain a note from the doctor,” Trump added. “Mission accomplished.”
Minutes after the speech, a new poll showed that a majority of Americans favor dropping Donald Trump on Iran.

Historic context is that Chump received his 4S military service deferrals during the Vietnam era from a podiatrist who leased an office from Fred C. Trump and owed him a favor. That's where the "Bonespurs" moniker originated.

A few years ago, he was still in high school and people said Barron is on the autism spectrum. If it's true he'd get a real draft deferment for it, but I haven't hear anything lately.
