US President Donald Trump on May 1 expressed his intent to rename two US holidays to “Victory Day” in his latest attempt to alter the country’s nomenclature.
“I am hereby renaming May 8 as Victory Day for World War II and November 11 as Victory Day for World War I,” he wrote on his Truth Social platform.

“Many of our allies and friends are celebrating May 8 as Victory Day, but we did more than any other country, by far, in producing a victorious result on World War II,” Mr Trump’s post said.
- snip-
“We won both wars, nobody was close to us in terms of strength, bravery, or military brilliance, but we never celebrate anything – That’s because we don’t have leaders any more, that know how to do so!” Mr Trump continued. “We are going to start celebrating our victories again!”

I love this man.
L
leave Nov 11 as Veteran’s Day.
What's wrong with giving veterans a day?
And in what sense was November 11 a victory for the U.S?
World War One was a purely European affair. No evil dictators involved, just competing colonial empires. Had the U.S. not intervened, the war might have ended in stalemate. No Hitler, no WW2, no Soviet expansion or Cold War.
Trump thinks that WW1 is some kind of American victory? How Wilsonian of him.
America did defeat the enemy in WWI. Obviously it was not the war to end all wars as advertised.
Make July 20th Moon Landing day.
I agree. It honors more specifically the sacrifices that veterans have made. I have no problem with having May 8 as "Victory Day."
I love to see June 6th a holiday. Turning point in the Pacific with battle of midway, in 1942 and D day 1944.
Agree.
Armistice Day should be a day of mourning.
Russia lost World War I. Crappy army then. Crappy army now.
???? September 4th is “V-J Day” (WWII) and November 11 is “Armistice/Veterans Day” (WWI).

September 2; you are off by 2 days.
Yeah that was the surrender “signing day” (9/2)...some websites have it as 9/4 (incorrect), but the more popular day in Rhode Island is “the 2nd Monday in August” (RI “Victory Day”):

Thanks for the correction.
This renaming is STUPID and Trump should worry & work on other, MORE IMPORTANT things. He also should leave Veterans' Day alone!
I have always been a HUGE Trumper, but frankly this is stupid crap in the extreme!
My thoughts exactly
The left has diminished Veterans and the military so much already.Don't take this one day away from them. It cheapens their memory.
Europe sure loved us for it,...at the time
