Trump breaks salute as military fly-over startles him, internet mocks

Original: The Internet Reacts As Donald Trump Breaks His Salute After Being Startled By A Military Fly-Over In Viral Clip: 'That's Called The Draft Dodger Flinch'

Donald Trump was visibly startled and broke his salute during a military fly-over, in a moment captured on camera and widely shared online. Critics quickly mocked the flinch, with some dubbing it the 'draft dodger flinch', a jab referencing his Vietnam-era draft deferments. Supporters argue the reaction to a loud jet is entirely normal and nothing more than a reflex.

Why now: A viral clip of a sitting president flinching during a patriotic ritual invites mockery and feeds ongoing jokes about his draft history.
