Some, filmmaker and staunch Trump opponent Michael Moore in particular, saw this as an opportunity for a parting shot.

“The only thing that separates the 1000s who lay dead there from the with the wreath is a rich dad & 5 deferments,” Moore tweeted.

Moore referred to the wealth Trump was born into and five draft deferments the president-elect received during the Vietnam War.

One deferment was for medical reasons and the remaining four for educational reasons, according to a New York Times report from last August.

Moore would follow this up by tweeting “the soldier played a somber taps on his bugle” and “it felt like he was playing it 4 us, 4 something else that had died,” presumably America.
