Whoever said animals are incapable of human emotions needs to watch this Bald Eagle showing the Donald who’s boss.

Meet Uncle Sam, the 27-year-old feathered firebrand who channelled the sentiment of most of the educated world during a shoot for TIME magazine’s upcoming “Person of the Year” issue. Trump would lose out to Germany’s Chancellor Angela Merkel, with Uber CEO Travis Kalanick taking second place.

Mashable describes the interaction as follows:

The bird appeared to take an instant dislike to the leading candidate for the Republican presidential nomination.

During the shoot, Trump reached suddenly for a bottle of aspirin. Sam wasn’t having it, and snapped and flapped his enormous wings at Trump, who recoiled. It’s not clear if Uncle Sam mistook Trump’s hair, in motion, for a living creature.

Trump took it in stride, later saying, “This bird is seriously dangerous but beautiful.”

Well at least you guys have one thing in common…
