MS NOW host Lawrence O'Donnell became the latest liberal to admonish Barron Trump for not enlisting to fight in 'his father's war.'
O'Donnell, a former TV writer and Congressional speechwriter, joined former Minnesota Governor and wrestling legend Jesse Ventura in admonishing Donald Trump's youngest son.
The anchor compared the 20-year-old to Queen Elizabeth, who served in World War II as a trained driver and mechanic in her teens, calling him 'more spoiled than the British Royal Family.'
'Does Barron Trump know how to drive? Could he drive an ambulance in the army, or is he not quite as tough as the 18-year-old Princess Elizabeth was when she joined the war effort?' he said.
'Imagine being more spoiled than an English princess on her way to becoming queen of England.'
O'Donnell slammed Barron for having 'celebrated his 20th birthday in lavish style' when he could instead 'have marched straight down to a recruiting station and join the army to fight in his father's war.'
The liberal host pleaded with any of the Trumps who were of enlistment age to volunteer, including Eric, who at 42 is now within the age range after the military raised theirs.
'Eric Trump has been left with a wide open opportunity to become the brave Trump, the first and only brave Trump in history,' O'Donnell said.

He added that Eric, Barron and daughter Tiffany could all enlist, as he claimed 'the world waits for the emergence of the first brave Trump.'
O'Donnell even went after Eric and Don Jr for not serving in Afghanistan or Iraq following the attacks on September 11, 2001.
'Thousands of young American men and women on that day decided to join the United States military, but not the Trumps,' he claimed.
Finally, he hit out at President Trump for having not served in the Vietnam War.
'Donald Trump himself, of course, repeatedly and famously avoided the military draft during the Vietnam War, ultimately getting out of it with a note from his doctor saying that his feet - that he spent the rest of his life playing golf on - just could not serve in any capacity in the army,' he said.
'Not as a driver, not an office job. Just nothing.'
The Daily Mail has reached out to the White House for comment.
It was reported last week that Barron appears set to follow his father into the business world.

Barron is already shifting his focus away from his studies at New York University to prepare for his 'next phase' of life to 'make his mark,' sources close to him told People.
'Barron has inherited his father's interest in making money and a name for himself, and is well on the way to becoming an entrepreneur,' the insider said.
'He is smart, focused and resourceful. He is always looking for areas that interest him and is quite ambitious for such a young age.'
Dishing more details on what his plans entail, the outlet reported that Barron has set his sights on property development.
'Barron is interested in developing real estate in areas where he sees growth, especially keeping up with trends of younger buyers,' a source close to Barron socially said.
The move will likely 'impress' his father - but a separate political source noted one key difference between the pair.
'Barron is a carbon copy of his father, yet he is blessed without the elder's brashness,' the insider said. 'He is more like his mother with a European aloof and quiet sophistication.'
But Barron - who is 12 years younger than his closest half-sibling, Tiffany Trump - is reportedly also different to the other Trump children.

'He is different from the other Trump children in the sense that he is sort of a loner,' one source shared.
'Growing up in the public eye and not necessarily feeling comfortable in it has made him stronger within himself, and at the same time, is driving his ambition. It's an interesting combination.'
Barron, the only child of President Trump and his wife, Melania Trump, was born on March 20, 2006, and has remained largely out of the spotlight during his childhood.
However, as the New York University (NYU) student has gotten older, he's given more of a glimpse into his private life.
The public got a peek into Barron's relationship with his mother as she made media appearances ahead of the January release of her Amazon documentary, Melania.
She noted how this time in the White House is much different for Barron.
'I'm very proud of him, and he's an incredible young man. He understands now. He's involved. He knows what's going on in the world. He talks with his dad. He talks with me,' she gushed during an in-studio appearance on Fox News Channel's The Five.
Barron remains guarded by his family, never making media appearances, but he attended his first Trump rally in July 2024 and played a role behind the scenes.
'He was very involved in the campaign,' the First Lady noted.
She touted that Barron was very influential to his father.
'He gave him all of the ideas, who he needs to talk to, all of these YouTubers and podcasts. So he was really a smart mind behind it,' she said.
Barron was born and raised in New York City, and attended school there until 2017, when his dad took office for his first term.
At the time, he was the first boy since John F. Kennedy Jr. to live in the White House in over 50 years.
