MSNBC analyst Donny Deutsch calls for ex Army officials to spearhead ad campaign against Trump

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: MSNBC analyst Donny Deutsch has called for a dramatic intervention by the military in the upcoming presidential election.

According to MSNBC Speaking on 'Morning Joe,' Deutsch urged high-ranking former military officials to spearhead an advertising campaign aimed at discrediting former President Donald Trump.

Concerns arise as Donald Trump leads in swing states, prompting Donny Deutsch's call for military intervention

According to The Catalyst for Deutsch's plea is a recent New York Times/Siena College survey showing Trump leading President Joe Biden in key swing states.

Concerned by these numbers, Deutsch proposed a strategy that relies on prominent figures like former White House Chief of Staff John Kelly, former Secretary of

Defense James Mattis, former National Security Advisor HR McMaster, and former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley.

Deutsch believes that leveraging the credibility and moral authority of these military leaders could sway voters against Trump. He highlighted Trump's history of avoiding military service, citing alleged remarks disparaging fallen soldiers as evidence of his unsuitability for office.

"Contrast is everything in this election," Deutsch said. "And 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 and allegedly told John Kelly, his chief of staff … as they were in a cemetery looking at fallen heroes, ‘why would any person be a sucker and give their life for their country?’ And that’s all you need to know about Donald Trump."

Deutsch advocates for military-led campaign amid disputed claims and ethical concerns

While these claims have been disputed, Deutsch argues that a campaign focused on contrasting Trump's record with the values embodied by the military could be highly effective. He contends that the military's endorsement of Biden over Trump would send a powerful message to the American people.

"I think the most compelling advertising campaign would be centered around the military," he continued. "If we got Mattis, McMaster, Milley and Kelly, to go to screen and say, ‘look this country cannot stand Donald Trump. The defense of this country will not stand 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'. I think the military is the secret weapon in this election and I hope those ads come to fruition."

However, this proposal raises complex ethical and political questions. It blurs the lines between military and civilian spheres, raising concerns about the appropriate role of the armed forces in electoral politics.

Furthermore, it relies on the assumption that the military's endorsement would carry significant weight with voters, which may not be the case.

Additionally, the credibility of the allegations against Trump regarding his remarks about fallen soldiers has been called into question.

Former national security adviser John Bolton has denied these claims, attributing Trump's absence from a cemetery visit to logistical concerns rather than disrespect for the military.
