Trump declares May 8th as the Day of Victory- outrage at home and abroad!

USA - President Donald Trump plans to celebrate the "day of victory in World War II" in the future and thus to redeem a historically significant date. He explains that the United States would have contributed more than any other country to victory in World War II. This is underlined in an announcement that was published via its Truth Social platform. In this context, Trump expressed that there have been no official victory celebrations in the United States and this should now be changed, while it remains unclear which details the planned celebrations will include. So far, May 8th in the USA is known as V-E Day (Victory in Europe).

November 11th is traditionally celebrated in the United States as Veterans Day, a day in honor of the veterans. Trump's announcements could cause international tensions, especially in Russia, where May 9th is celebrated as a "day of victory" with great effort.

Trump and history policy

The US President has also initiated a redefinition in American history in the past, through a decree that his vice J.D. Vance commissioned to change representations in museums. Trump believes that the role of the United States was not adequately recognized in World War II. It should be noted that the United States only came to war on December 7, 1941 after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.

The historical classification marks a turning point that had the conflict escalated from regional to global dimensions. The attack on Pearl Harbor not only led to the declaration of war of the United States to Japan, but also to the later declaration of war of Germany and Italy to the United States on December 11, 1941. The United States Entry Wave in this conflict was not only a reaction to military aggression, but also the result of a gradually abandoned isolationism policy.

Cabinet changes and future visions

In addition, Susan Wiles, the first woman in the position, is appointed chief of staff in the White House. Trump promised that America was imminent and there were still many other personnel decisions to be expected in the coming days.

The latest developments are part of a larger plan that Trump wants to implement in his newly launched presidency. In view of its controversial history policy and the announcements for the celebration of national victories, the reactions in the political landscape and beyond.
