I never felt like this was a great argument against Trump, as draft dodging is based and hypocrisy on it's own isn't a moral failing.
I guess this works better with military types, or if you want to highlight the social detachment of his class privilege. But I try not to make arguments that incidentally consent to national militancy.
It's the hypocrisy. You can use draft dodging as an argument against any right-winger even if you support draft dodging, because they don't.
