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.

“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!”

Good, lets have a big day for VJ Day. We need more things to unify us as a people. I say, on this day we put up statues. Like to Audie Murphy, and Alan Turning, even Openheimer, Even Bob Hope and Bing Crosby (For their USO work).
My Grandfather was wounded and his brother was killed in France in WWI, 25 years later my father was there fighting the same people in the same place. And we still may get into a mess over there if we are not careful.
whaaa
To Dr Leo Szilard !
To Dr Leo Szilard !
At this point, I’m confused too. But Trump should forget this action; nobody cares.
I agree. This kind of thing is stupid. We don’t need these type of changes.
I want focus on stopping the taxpayer funding of the Ukraine war. Not this.
