Trump blasted for getting key WWII date wrong, trying to rename Veteran's Day: 'A complete moron'

WASHINGTON, DC: President Donald Trump is facing backlash on social media for sharing the wrong date for the end of World War II and renaming Veterans Day, in a bizarre rant on Truth Social on Thursday, May 1, reported OK! Magazine.

According to the publication, May 8, 1945, marked the day the German military officially surrendered to the Allies in World War II. However, the war was not over, and the United States continued to fight Japan until September 2 of that year.

To honor those who served in the United States Armed Forces, the country celebrates November 11 every year as Veterans Day.

Donald Trump's social media post about celebrating 'victorious' world wars

The 78-year-old commander-in-chief took to his social media platform on Thursday to announce his decision to celebrate the victory of the allied forces in the two World Wars, seemingly out of the blue.

"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," he wrote. "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," continued POTUS. "That’s because we don’t have leaders anymore, that know how to do so! We are going to start celebrating our victories again!"
