Some top replies (of many):

Incredible stuff here. Trump’s decided he’s now in charge of the 20th century. May 8th has been Victory in Europe Day since 1945. It’s literally recognized across NATO nations and was declared by President Truman after Hitler offed himself in a bunker. But sure, let’s “rename” it like it’s a failing casino.

And November 11th? That’s been Veterans Day since 1954, after originally being called Armistice Day to mark the end of WWI. But history is tough when your only war story is bravely surviving the draft with bone spurs diagnosed by a podiatrist who rented office space from your dad.

“We don’t celebrate anything” he says. This is the guy who turned the 4th of July into a flexing contest with tanks on the National Mall like he was compensating for losing the Revolutionary War to a salad.

Next he’ll rename D-Day to T-Day and claim he personally stormed Omaha Beach with a golf cart and a Big Mac.

Who needs veterans when you have a raping. Sexual assaulting, draft dodging, democracy destroying, non constitutional supporting, constitution canceling, daughter sexualizing, p*ssy grabbing, classified documents stealing, no Epstein files releasing, January 6th causing, election denying, January 6th causing, false prophet cult leader that all of his cult members thinks is the savior to the world? Gotta love the most “patriotic” jackass as he MAG(A) didn’t a lot of people with common sense say NOT to vote for this idiot because he would f everything up & he was unfit because of all the things mentioned above plus more? Stupid people are annoying. I can’t wait to hear how these weak ass MAG(A) folks that say they love the county & the veterans justify this. Stay tuned, there’s sure to be many more dumb ass moments & we should make sure to point out the idiots that still don’t know or will do better.

God I can’t wait until this orange POS is gone so we can put everything back to the way it was. He made many day one promises on the campaign trail and has not lived up to a one; yet he has time to rename things like holidays and bodies of water. Could you imagine if Biden was doing this? The Republicans would be all over it!

As a Brit, I reject your decision to ‘identify’ as the major contributors of the world wars.

History isn’t subjective - just because you ‘feel’ like you did most of the work doesn’t mean the rest of us weren’t there.

Facts don’t care about your feelings.

1. "That's because we don't have leaders anymore..." he says.

He has been leading the Republican Party for the last ten years. I do not see anything good that has happened during that time?

[MLWR]

17. He's right about one thing: we don't have leaders anymore.

[malaise]

2. He knows not one fuck about anything

The US role in WW2 was crucial and critical, but the Soviets actually reached Germany first.

[Walleye]

3. He keeps saying we, he never served in uniform anywhere

He wants to celebrate something. He refused to participate in and still does.

[Iggo]

29. I never served and I say "we" all the time.

That’s a losing argument.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

4. "bravery"? Every one of the Canadian and British soldiers on D-Day was as brave as the Americans. . . nt

[yardwork]

7. Not to mention that both wars were fought everywhere but North America.

I'll bet the people of Europe, Britain, China, South Korea, Japan, and North Africa have something to say about this.

Trump is a complete asshole.

[Prairie_Seagull]

5. Will there be federal paid days off?

I'm thinking no.

IMO

[Incanus]

6. What about our Veterans from other wars?

Do they not count now?

[yardwork]

8. MAGA preoccupation with the 20th century world wars is annoying.

[SergeStorms]

24. Well......

WE didn't win in Korea or Vietnam. You know how Trump hates "losers," (like himself).

[DENVERPOPS]

25. Korea and Viet Nam

were purely for the enrichment of a few, commonly called the Military Industrial Complex.....as identified by a Republican President Dwight Eisenhower..........

Same with the wars in Afghanistan and IRAQ......

[yorkster]

9. Jeezus. Will no one tell him?

Hey, Jackass. May 8 VE Day. Victory in EUROPE.
End of the war?? Sept. 2. 1945. You know after ATOMIC BOMBS were dropped on
Hiroshima and Nagasaki??

As for Veteran's Day, Nov.11, it was Armistice Day until 1954.

You just want to call them Victory Days like Putin does.

Oh, BTW, you utter disgrace, we had ALLIES.

Sorry all. I'm just numb with rage and grief this am. The military parade, the attempted obliteration of history and human/civil rights and the scale of viciousness of this regime have me limp with helplessness. It will pass. We have attended protests and will do more. Pritzker's message of mobilization yesterday is resonating strongly with me..

[llmart]

14. That's about my mental state right now.

Our party better step up their game. This is untenable where he thinks he can just "proclaim" something and that's it. Or his ridiculous ruling by executive order.

I can't believe this is where we're at right now. Maybe I've lived too long.

[yorkster]

16. Frankly, I hope there are "ongoing discussions"

behind the scenes. Perhaps a desperate hope, I know..

Take care and take heart, if you can.

[Ping Tung]

10. War is sweet to those who haven't tasted it. Desiderius Erasmus

Celebrating wars is like celebrating a plague or earthquake.

[yardwork]

12. Very true.

[Vinca]

11. OMG - what a stupid shit.

[Iamscrewed]

13. History

What dictator didn't try to rewrite history?

[ananda]

15. Ermm.. the Russians were the main factor in the defeat of the Nazis.

Even my dad, who fought in the South Pacific, said that Hitler
would have won were it not for the Russians.

[malaise]

18. That is the truth

Rec

[kimbutgar]

19. Like his Gulf of America really [MEXICO) he can't just issue an executive order like magic and make it happen

Years from now ( hopefully) he’ll be remembered as the worst president the US has ever had!

[TommyT139]

32. Oh he'll try....

Lots of textbooks to be rewritten. And if not? No money for those school districts!!!

[orleans]

20. so basically FUCK THE VETS

... gee i hope they didn't vote for trump

[MissouriDem47]

21. Another National Holiday?

Good, another National Holiday that will give government workers another day off with pay. So much for "saving" the government money.

[BaronChocula]

22. Ok, here's your juicebox

Time for a nappy.

[IronLionZion]

23. Anyone ask him what the Trump family did during WWII?

Any reporters want to investigate that period in the Trump family history?

[Squaredeal]

28. I believe that his dad left Germany to avoid serving in WWI

Trump is just trying to justify having a big, billion-dollar military parade as President.
BTW, the U.S. had these parades after the wars ended, in 1945.

[jls4561]

26. Could someone name one member of the Trump family who has served their country in any branch of

the armed forces?

[Lokee11]

27. It is very difficult to understand

How anyone and NOT EVERYONE, can come to any other conclusion besides,

He is a FUCKING IDIOT!!!!!!!

✊FDT!

[dchill]

30. I am hereby declaring that you shall never presume...

...to name any day, place or thing for any reason. Especially anything having to do with combat or courage. I hereby name you "The King of Diminishment."

[Norbert]

31. So my friends and relatives that are vets

That didn't serve in neither wars aren't worth a shit. Yep. I get it.

[Kid Berwyn]

33. Sir Putin is not gonna like this.

Nor will 27 million Soviet deaths in WW2.

[IbogaProject]

34. Stolen Valor

The entire Trump Family hasn't fought in a war in at least 160 years or longer let alone even served in the armed forces.

[PufPuf23]

35. Trump wants to lead the USA into WWIII,

Trump the perpetual loser, fool and tool.

Bad scenario.
