i’ve met Uncle Sam multiple times (the man helping trump in the first gif is his owner, and he travels around and gives presentations about birds of prey) and so i always find this super funny when it goes around because:
a) his owner was a bit too eager to tell us about meeting trump, but he also explained another thing that trump did wrong, which is that in the second gif, he approaches Uncle Sam from his blind side. naturally, Uncle Sam was startled and lashed out.
b) trump called him a “very dangerous bird”, but Uncle Sam is a rehabilitated bird who’s blind in one eye and has a bad wing, and he’s regularly included in nature presentations attended by children. i met him as a child. children are allowed to walk up to him as long as they don’t touch him because he’s a chill old bird who’s used to it.
the president of the united states is less respectful to an old harmless bird than a bunch of CHILDREN
