Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump took part in a photoshoot for Time that included a pretty bold prop - a bald eagle that was not shy about flapping his wings, disturbing the peace and attacking his hair.
According to E Online, the Bald Eagle rested on Trump's forearm and on top of his desk as photographers captured the moment for the magazine. There were moments during the photoshoot, however, where the eagle was not so cooperative. Time tweeted a Vine video clip of one of the bird's attacks against Trump that showed just how active the shoot was.

In the beginning of the video, Trump can be seen trying to steady the eagle on his arm, with the assistance of the animal trainer. At that point, the bald eagle didn't appear to be too happy, and began vigorously flapping its wings and disturbing the candidate's notorious hairstyle. @jonythot on Twitter shared a clip of the attack:

"How's my hair look," the former Apprentice star asked. Those in the room responded "no good" and the animal trainer attempted to assist him in laying his hair back down to its proper position, only to be told to "watch it," by Trump. No one has ever gotten closer to Trump's hair than the eagle and his trainer.
In the video, Trump explained why he was willing to mess up his hair and take a photo with a bald eagle. "I'm doing this for the cover of Time magazine," explained Trump in the video. "I love Time magazine. What you will do for a cover. This bird is seriously dangerous, but beautiful."
