The criticism doesn't come from avoiding the draft, it comes from avoiding the draft and then filling his administration with hawks.

  or perhaps from avoiding the draft, then making regular public criticism of the military service of opponents.

    And perhaps also from abusing their privilege as extremely rich real estate owners who wouldn't let black people (who can't afford to dodge the draft) live in their buildings. And also for lying about having bone spurs, when the women who "dodged" the draft weren't actually lying about their gender, but were actually just following the law of the land. And for having a long track record and infamous career of discriminating against blacks and women; and for relentlessly questioning which country a black president was born in, as well as his very legitimacy; and for unceasingly criticizing, even after his death, a war hero who actually did fight for his country and spent a great deal of time as a prisoner of war.

      I'm just focusing on the draft dodger treatment here, the rest of Trump character can be criticized very well without relying on the draft dodging card. See my response to danso for why I think draft dodging should get this kind of treatment. And again, I'm not blaming the women for following the law of the land, I'm merely highlighting the disputable fairness of the law of the land of the time and how it might be used as a way to justify dodging, especially given the context of the war.
