Donald Trump Proposes New Name For Veterans Day In Controversial Move

Donald Trump wants to change the name of Veterans Day to celebrate military victories.

The US President proposed renaming Veterans Day to “Victory Day for World War I,” claiming it’s time for Americans to start celebrating their victories again.

He also suggested renaming Victory in Europe Day (May 8) to “Victory in World War II Day.” Trump argued that the U.S. did more than any other country in winning WWII and should celebrate its military successes.

Trump in a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump wrote: “Many of our allies and friends are celebrating May 8th as Victory Day, but we did more than any other Country, by far, in producing a victorious result on World War II. I am hereby renaming May 8th as Victory Day for World War II and November 11th as Victory Day for World War I. 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 anymore, that know how to do so! We are going to start celebrating our victories again!”

Veterans Day, originally Armistice Day, was expanded in the 1950s in order to honor all U.S. veterans. It was declared a federal holiday in 1968, and now honors veterans from all conflicts.

The suggestion to rename Veterans Day has caused criticism, with many questioning the need to change a holiday that honors all service members.

Also, Trump’s comments on WWII may provoke international opposition, particularly from Russia, which honors the Soviet Union’s immense losses in the war.

GIRL GETS A JOB AS A MAID & FINDS A PHOTO OF HER YOUNG MOM IN HER BOSS’S ROOM “I’m going to do a great job,” Caroline psyched herself up ahead of her first assignment. She and her friend, Melissa, moved to New York a few days ago to make their dreams of being Broadway stars come true. But they needed to find jobs first to rent an apartment together. Luckily, Melissa got hired at a clothing store, and Caroline got a job at an agency for domestic cleaners. When Caroline finally walked inside the house she needed to clean, using the key under the mat as instructed, she wasted no time getting started — first, the kitchen, then the living room, and moving towards the bedroom. Caroline tidied as quickly and thoroughly as she could but stopped short at the mantelpiece. There were several pictures on top, but one caught her attention. A picture with her mother’s face. She was at least 18 years younger, but it was her. “Why is my mother in this man’s pictures?” she wondered out loud. “Oh hello there! You must be the new cleaning lady. I’m Richard Smith. I own this house,” the man introduced himself with a warm smile. “Are you done in here already?” “I’m almost done, sir. But may I ask a question?” Caroline hesitated, hoping that the man wouldn’t be mad if she asked about the image. “Who is this woman?”👇
