Trump breaks EVERY RULE that stands in his way. He can BREAK the one about his son LURCH being too tall to fight in Iran

If we put "boots on the ground" in Iraq, I want two of those boots to belong to Barron FUCKING Trump.

Midshipmen are required to do military service for the education, if I'm not mistaken.
