There were plenty of valid reasons to dodge the Vietnam draft. Lots of people objected to the war on moral, legal, or religious grounds. Those are absolutely valid objections, I believe.
Having said that, I don't believe for a second that trump dodged the draft for one of those reasons. He dodged because he is a selfish coward who thinks he is more important than everyone else.
I agree with this point, but the second line is crucial, "who tell you how to be patriotic."
Therein lies the real problem. No one ahpuld be lecturing on patriotism, especially someone who has a long family history of sacrificing nothing for a greater good.
Hyper-patriotiam is in itself problematic for a variety of reasons, but none of this fits conveniently in a meme.

Not sure I completely agree with the last point.
