Great America PAC, a Donald Trump-loving super PAC, launched this political ad to boost Trump's leadership credentials after the tragic Orlando shooting last week.
The spot, “The Enemy,” stars former Navy SEAL Carl Higbie who narrates the ad and shares his experience “facing the enemy on the battlefield.” According to Higbie, the enemy has breached our borders and is now in our backyard.
“But this enemy won’t be defeated by taking away our guns or by weak leaders in denial,” the former Navy SEAL explains as pictures of President Barack Obama and presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton appear on the screen.
“This enemy will only be defeated with strong leadership.” And that leader, according to the ad, is Donald Trump.
According to a survey of 951 active-duty troops, reservists and National Guardsmen, 54% of respondents support Trump, while 25% support Clinton. The rest of the troops claimed they would not vote in November.
In a different survey conducted, veterans also support Trump over Clinton, 47% to 38%, with 14% undecided.
Many groups, such as the pro-Clinton super PAC Priorities USA, are hoping to question and discredit Trump’s foreign policy experience – but it looks like those messages haven’t affected the voting bloc yet.
