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.
