This is just one of thousands of examples of immense disrespect. And his cult follows him along through everything.
I’m all seriousness, if you find this appealing, would you not be happier if you just move there? If you have no allegiance to this country, please be respectful, have some dignity, and don’t actively try to ruin it for the rest of us. Stop trying to sabotage this country by actively undermining it.
Apparently Trump has made it official - he thinks he will be the next Pope.
This can’t be a real thing.
I’m not religious, but I feel like this is somehow extra super duper disrespectful. Religious folk are not known for their tolerance of false or satirical iconography.
But I guess he’s insulting Catholics so it’s probably totally cool with his evangelical base. Oh who am I kidding, he could make AI scat porn with their Lord and Saviour and they’d find a passage in the Bible that supports it.
He has no clue whatsoever about faith and scripture and fits the description of the Antichrist perfectly (I’m too lazy to look up sources right now) - still gets tired as sent by God, etc.
I don’t get it, must be brain worms or something.
No, it’s just narcissism. Nothing special about his actions, they are all classic narcissistic behaviors.
I disagree. Even considering that narcissism is a spectrum and Drumpf is one of the most narcissistic people alive does not fully explain his behavior.
E.g. He even lied about stuff where it didn’t score points for him. Sometimes the truth would have even been better for him. He loves lying almost as much as he loves himself.
There’s a couple of disorders on top of his incredibly malignant narcissism.
Trump is a disgrace to humanity and the millions that fought and died for freedom. Freedom which he was able to live in, but was too chicken shit to ever fight in. Freedom he now wants to destroy.
I’ll happily celebrate victory day on the day of his death and hopefully it’s celebrated worldwide. Liberation day would also work.
May the dark angel of death take Trumps life immediately.
I told my mom the same thing about celebrating his death. I suspect a lot of people with spontaneous fireworks will let everyone know the day with even more fireworks than on the 4th.
America claiming it did more than any otber country to achieve victory in WW2 has to be the most laughable shit. I hope the rest of the world sees it that way
It’s laughable, but with extremely sinister undertones
Do we have any source? I can’t find it on truthsocial.com
I’d flatten my nuts with a mallet before I go on truth social, but if you google it you can find other sources talking about it. Such as New York Post, who I assume is proud of his announcement: https://nypost.com/2025/05/02/us-news/trump-declares-may-8-victory-day-for-world-war-ii/
As usual with Trump, when you look into it you realize it’s worse than you originally thought:
Trump acknowledged in a Truth Social that “many of our allies and friends” already celebrate on May 8, but said America should join in because “we did more than any other Country, by far, in producing a victorious result.
Man, fuck this guy.
Don’t lower yourself to go personally. Send your User Agent on your behalf so you don’t have to sully yourself.
Seriously, he’s not the fucking Medusa. You can load the page, jfc.
Thanks
Stupid is stupid, no matter what country you are from. There will always be people who prefer ignorance to education, in any country. The trick is to deal with them efficiently and effectively. “Just watch me.”

He doesn’t care. He thinks those people are losers. He has no concept of what war means for the people fighting in it, it’s just an abstraction, it’s just a word that can be pulled out when conversations need to be redirected or attentions refocused. It means nothing.

Specifically suckers and loosers
No kidding…this corpulent hemorrhoid is as soft as baby shit, what the fuck is he going on about?
The day Idi AnOrange Dada decides to shuffle off his mortal coil will be the day the world can start to heal. And it will be a long, long road, littered with a hopefully diminishing cadre of cultist partisans.
Yeah, if we’re being honest, Russia fought beyond the bounds of mere bravery, and sacrificed in numbers incomprehensible in the west. And their country is still suffering national PTSD from it.
Even Canada sacrificed more per capita than the US in both world wars.
The above may have been different if the US had been there from the beginning, rather than showing up two years late. Don’t talk about bravery, brilliance and principle when you can’t even be bothered to join the fight until after everyone is beat to a pump. And if you do, try not to brag and boast for decades about how amazing you were.
“Even” Canada?

Can we talk about deaths per capita and military and civilians contributing to war effort per capita for a country that was NOT itself attacked?
Yes, there were U-Boats attacking merchant marines on the east coast and Japanese balloons flying in on the west. But the societal contribution to a war not in our soil was and is astonishing.
Wow, I knew the Russians lost 24 million but I had no idea that China lost 20 million. Thanks for sharing this.
Yeah, Japan went kinda fucking crazy on them.
As much as the USA firebombed civilian cities in Japan, Japan went around just exterminating Chinese civilians. Absolute atrocities.

Our population is really small? That’s my best guess
I’m Canadian, with a family that’s been in the military and fought in every war as far back as we trace our genealogy on the continent. United Empire Loyalists that separated from a New Jersey revolutionary family to move to Ontario.
Having said all of that, my comment was only meant to illustrate that even Canada, with a population and a manufacturing base a fraction of the US, bled more per capita. But not according to any American narritives, certainly not according to Trump and his cult.
You won’t find those people here, they are on truth social.
You’re probably not going to get a lot of answers from your intended audience on Lemmy.
Also, it’s indefensible and could not exist without willful ignorance.
What a colossal piece of shit.
Every single day he finds a new way to enforce the idea that he is, in fact, a colossal piece of shit.
I can’t wait to be able to piss on his grave, that day can’t come soon enough…
Yeah im the american that has been dropping my two cents with these. What upsets me is the idea of a victory celebration which sounds disgusting. War no matter the circumstances sucks and we should be only engaging in it reluctantly when we have to. We should celebrate freedom and democracy but since that is antithesis to what trump wants he wants this. We have memorial day late may to honor the fallen and veterans day to honor those who served and survived. We had victory celebrations at the time of victory because war is hell and the populace needed it but we don’t need to celebrate historical victories year after year like some loser relating his high school glory days.

Actually, it was the Canadian soldiers that marched through Italy; the Canadian soldiers that marched north to Denmark and protected the American flank; the Canadian landing at Juno beach which not only protected the American flank, but pushed further and faster, greeting the American troops as they finally pushed off of their beachhead; the Canadian top command that developed the more efficient ways of fighting a modern battle, especially the results learned from the essentially Canadian Dieppe raid (which WAS successful, the Canadians got off the beach and made it to the post office for what they went for); the Canadian scientists that worked on the development of the Atomic bomb long before the Manhattan Project, and went on to establish Chalk River; the Canadian merchant marine that kept Britain supplied during the war… the list goes on and on. You do not need to be a tankie, just a good student of Canadian history.
Unfortunately for our Canadian legacy, we do not brag.
To extend to this, the rest of the British Empire at the time did massive contributions. The Aussies did real work during the Africa Campaign, even holding a town that single-handedly crippled the Afrika Corps’s advance towards Egypt (also Egyptions doing some great work supporting Commonwealth troops as they prepared for the counterattack), countless Indian sacrifices all over the place despite Churchill causing more Indian deaths than the Germans at the same time, New Zealand giving a good show despite basically not having an economy or a population at the time. Frankly, you can point at almost any part of the commonwealth, and they all punched way above their weights for this war, and that doesn’t even start talking about the British homefront.
And outside of the colonies, Poland really carried hard on several ways, from volunteers flying during the Battle for Britain, to a single small destroyer soloing the Bismark for an entire hour screaming at the battleship dozens times larger than it (the full story of the Piorun is insane).
Either way, tons of recognition is deserved all around, not just pointing at the UK, Russia, and the US.
Probably for the best we don’t draw attention to all our warcrimes lol
They were not war crimes when we did them, that came later when the world looked at us and went WTF Canada???
I’m not really sure that’s entirely true.
But in either case I don’t think being technically innocent really helps our reputation as much as being actually innocent would
I wouldn’t say the UK was the second most influential—realistically, that spot goes to the US. And I’m not even a big fan of the US right now, but their industrial power, global logistics, and role in both Europe and the Pacific made a massive difference. Without their support, especially through Lend-Lease and D-Day, things could’ve turned out very differently.
While that’s largely true, it also oversimplifies the realities of the conflict.
Without American aid the Russians wouldn’t have been able to repel the Germans nearly as effective ective as they did (if at all), and without D-day splitting the war into two fronts, Russian losses on the way to Berlin would’ve been significantly higher.
That all said, Trump’s statement is obviously horseshit and a complete disservice to the rest of all the allied forces.
Exactly. Every nation gave something. The USSR gave immense amounts of life, the British gave intelligence, the Americans gave industrial capacity, the Canadians, Australians, and New Zealish gave a courage that they rarely are credited for, many British colonies gave enough to be able to leverage it in their pushes for sovereignty, the occupied nations and surviving German and Italian antifascists gave their resistance, intelligence, and worked to keep victims safe.
No nation beat the axis alone. Each combatant gave enough lives to hurt. Each nation gave enough money that the civilians felt the pain. And each nation had both fascists and antifascists in it. When we focus on who did most we open the door to nationalistic thinking when the lesson we should take is an internationalist one
The only victory day I’ll be celebrating is Trump’s death.
Popularist and nationalist.
I wonder where I’ve seen that before…
The entire point of a Memorial Day or a Remembrance Day is to honour the sacrifice and to lament that it was necessary. Simpleton Trump thinks it should be about celebrating victory. It is hard not to feel bad for somebody that is so incomplete as a human being.
The disrespect to literally all of the WW2 ally countries is disgusting. They did fuckall till the Normandy landings and couldn’t give less of a shit about WW2 till pearl harbour. Military aid is not comparable to being on the front lines.
