The way this metaphor breaks is that Canada geese are assholes who leave shit everywhere and bald eagles are pretty chill.

If Trump we’re a bird he’d be a goose

The goose was sick and didn't really put up a good fight. The eagle left after a bit. I wonder how sick the goose actually was

was the Eagle like "ee on second thought.."

When I visited the RAPTOR CENTRE on Vancouver Island, which had golden and bald eagles, they told us the bald eagle was a klepto-predator in that it would wait for something else to do a kill and then swoop in and steal it. Take that in this context as you will.
