"Complete Moron"—Donald Trump Brutally Slammed After Declaring May 8 as WWII Victory Day

  • On April 25, 2025, former President Donald Trump announced via Truth Social that the United States will officially designate May 8 to honor the Allied victory in World War II and November 11 to commemorate the end of World War I.
  • This announcement contrasts with the historical context that the US lacks a federal WWII victory holiday and that Veterans Day recognizes all veterans, not just World War I.
  • Trump highlighted America's leading contribution to the Allied victory in World War II, noting that while many allied nations already recognize May 8 as Victory Day, the U.S. played the most significant role in achieving the outcome.
  • He stated that although the United States emerged victorious in both wars and surpassed others in power, courage, and military skill, there is a lack of recognition for these achievements, which he attributed to ineffective leadership today.
  • The declaration has drawn widespread criticism due to Trump’s past disparagement of veterans and attempts to rename Veterans Day, suggesting potential diplomatic and domestic controversy.
