Let's just say that bald eagle Uncle Sam doesn't approve of Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump.

Last August, Donald Trump agreed to pose with the 27-year-old eagle for a Time cover story, according to the news organization.

A video posted by Time shows the Donald dodging Uncle Sam after Trump reaches to retrieve aspirin in the shot and the eagle spreads his wings.

In the video, of course Trump asks how his hair looks as he's holding the eagle.

"What you will do for a cover," Trump said. "This bird is seriously dangerous but beautiful."

On Thursday, Trumped told Fox & Friends during a phone interview that he wasn't "really" scared of the brazen bird, Politico reports.

Since Time posted the blooper reel, folks on Twitter have weighed in with some thoughts on why Trump was attacked.
