In a now-viral clip from HBO's Real Time with Bill Maher, Maher asks Rep. {Seth} Moulton {D - MA6}, "As a veteran, what is your reaction to Trump's plans for a military parade?"

His response had the studio audience bursting into laughter and applause.

"He's a draft dodger," Moulton said. "It's his first military thing he really gets to do."

Moulton isn't the first to refer to Trump as a "draft dodger." Democratic Senator and Purple Heart recipient Tammy Duckworth previously referred to the 79-year-old as "Cadet Bone Spurs" as she spoke on Trump's previous politicization of the military.

These critiques stem from a young Trump receiving not one, not two, not even three or four, but five military draft deferments during the Vietnam War. One of these deferments, according to the New York Times, was due to heel spurs, which left him unfit for active duty. This diagnosis reportedly came from a friend of his fathers.
Continuing his point, Moulton delivered another jab: "Obviously, he likes Putin, he worships Kim Jong Un, he wants to be like that. He wants to be a dictator like those guys, and they have big military parades."
