Trump Declares Victory Day On May 8 To Celebrate WW2 Triumph

KEY POINT SUMMARY – Trump declares Victory Day
• Trump declares Victory Day on May 8 to honor the WW2 victory
• Europe celebrates May 8 as VE Day, US will now join officially
• Trump says America deserves to celebrate due to its key role
• Nov. 11 also designated as World War I Victory Day
• Trump vows to revive celebrations of America’s military triumphs


Trump declares Victory Day, bringing new meaning to May 8 in the United States. The former president announced the move to officially celebrate this important date and mark America’s triumph in World War II.

Many European nations already observe Victory in Europe Day on May 8. However, the U.S. has never had a formal holiday to commemorate the occasion — until now.

Recognizing American Sacrifice

Trump shared the news in a post on Truth Social. He emphasized that the United States played a crucial role in defeating Nazi Germany and should be honored accordingly.

“Many of our allies celebrate on May 8. We should too. America did more than any other country to achieve victory,” Trump wrote.

While VE Day is common abroad, Trump believes it is time for America to officially join the celebration.

Why Trump Declares Victory Day Now

The announcement marks a shift toward greater recognition of historic sacrifices. Germany’s surrender on May 7, 1945, led to a global ceasefire the next day. Therefore, Trump declares Victory Day to focus on this specific milestone.

Although fighting in the Pacific continued for months, May 8 represented the end of brutal warfare across Europe.

Trump Adds Victory Day For World War I Too

In addition to May 8, Trump also announced that Nov. 11 will hold new meaning. The day will now serve as World War I Victory Day alongside Veterans Day.

“We won both wars,” Trump declared. “No other nation showed our strength and determination.” He criticized past leaders for failing to give these achievements the recognition they deserve.

Victory Day To Inspire Future Generations

Trump’s move signals a renewed push to honor U.S. military achievements. “We are going to start celebrating our victories again,” he promised.

With Trump declares Victory Day now official, May 8 will carry special significance moving forward. The declaration aims to ensure that the sacrifices of American heroes are never forgotten and always celebrated.
