I have no problem with either one dodging a draft. I view the draft as a form of slavery. That said, what Ali did was found to be a crime, while Trump was never charged. Admittedly the deck was stacked against a prominent celebrity in Ali's case in order to make a statement to other potential draft dodgers, and his race may or may not have also been a factor. Donald Trump was not an internationally (or even nationally) well known celebrity at the time. And you can't be that naive to believe that Ali had a religious bone in his body, it was purely to get out of the army. He chose the most violent major religion in the world as his supposed basis of non-violent conscience, which goes to show that he had no clue about the religion he claimed to be a part of.
