Former President Donald Trump proposed renaming Veterans Day as “Victory Day for World War I” and changing Victory in Europe Day (May 8) to “Victory Day for World War II.” Posting on Truth Social, Trump urged Americans to “start celebrating our victories again,” claiming the U.S. played the decisive role in both wars. Experts and veterans’ groups pushed back, noting only Congress can rename a federal holiday, and the White House confirmed Veterans Day will remain unchanged.
