Trump Renames VE Day

Donald Trump (@realdonaldtrump) plans to rename VE Day in the U.S. as “Victory Day for World War II” and Armistice Day as “Victory Day for World War I,” claiming the U.S. was the most significant force in these victories. This move sparked ridicule from some, like Keith Olbermann, for ignoring historical details, such as Europe's war end on May 8 and Japan's surrender on August 15, 1945. With unclear steps for official changes, Trump’s declarations on Truth Social aren’t formalized but highlight his desire for America to celebrate its military exploits more robustly.
