Donald Trump sparks outrage after claiming

During a recent trip to the Middle East, Donald Trump claimed that the United States “won” both World Wars, stating that without America, Europe would not have been victorious. Speaking at the Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, Trump announced his plan to designate May 8 as “Victory Day for World War II.” He expressed surprise that other countries, including Russia and France, commemorate the war’s end while the US does not. Trump also suggested that without American intervention, the world might be speaking German or Japanese today.

Trump’s remarks sparked criticism, with many pointing out that the US joined World War II relatively late, only entering the conflict in 1941 after the attack on Pearl Harbor. Some accused him of disrespecting those who fought and died before America’s involvement. Critics also noted that Congress initially resisted joining the war due to a reluctance to intervene in foreign conflicts. Social media reactions ranged from disbelief to frustration, with some emphasizing that the US was the last major Allied power to enter the war.
