Coming on the heels of President Joe Biden's stirring speech to commemorate the 80th anniversary of D-Day in Normandy on Thursday, MSNBC analyst and branding expert Donny Deutsch suggested it was a precursor of another front aimed at undercutting Donald Trump's presidential campaign.
Coupled with a new commercial being released by the Biden/Kamala Harris campaign that shows veterans praising the current president and questioning the patriotism of convicted felon Trump, the MSNBC regular called the military vote Biden's "secret weapon."
Speaking with "Morning Joe" co-host E Willie Geist, Deutsch explained, "Contrast is everything in this election. I think the military is the greatest example to show the contrast between two men. You see Donald Trump who, you know, got off, didn't serve because of bunions, allegedly told John Kelly, his chief of staff, as they were in a cemetery looking at fallen heroes, 'Why would anyone person be a sucker and give their life for their country?'"

"That's all you need to know about Donald Trump," he elaborated. "I said this before, I think the most compelling advertising campaign would be centered around the military. If we got [former Trump Defense Secretary James] Mattis, [former Trump national security advisor H.R.] McMaster, [ex-Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark] Milley, Kelly to go to screen and say 'Look, this country cannot stand Donald Trump. the defense of this country will not withstand Donald Trump. we are great Americans, we believe in the country, we trust this country, we know this country. You can't vote for Donald Trump.'"
After he added "The military is the secret weapon, I think, and I hope this ad comes to fruition," host Geist ran the newly released Biden ad where one vet is seen stating, "I see a man in Joe Biden who accepts accountability and responsibility. When I see his predecessor, Donald Trump, I see a man who is only in this for himself," another adding, "Donald Trump has zero accountability in his life," and a third remarking, " "He is a draft dodger, simple as that."
