This is just one of thousands of examples of immense disrespect. And his cult follows him along through everything.
I'm all seriousness, if you find this appealing, would you not be happier if you just move there? If you have no allegiance to this country, please be respectful, have some dignity, and don't actively try to ruin it for the rest of us. Stop trying to sabotage this country by actively undermining it.
Trump is a disgrace to humanity and the millions that fought and died for freedom. Freedom which he was able to live in, but was too chicken shit to ever fight in. Freedom he now wants to destroy.
I’ll happily celebrate victory day on the day of his death and hopefully it’s celebrated worldwide. Liberation day would also work.
May the dark angel of death take Trumps life immediately.
America claiming it did more than any otber country to achieve victory in WW2 has to be the most laughable shit. I hope the rest of the world sees it that way
It's laughable, but with extremely sinister undertones
The entire point of a Memorial Day or a Remembrance Day is to honour the sacrifice and to lament that it was necessary. Simpleton Trump thinks it should be about celebrating victory. It is hard not to feel bad for somebody that is so incomplete as a human being.
The disrespect to literally all of the WW2 ally countries is disgusting. They did fuckall till the Normandy landings and couldn't give less of a shit about WW2 till pearl harbour. Military aid is not comparable to being on the front lines.
would you not be happier if you just move there?
It’s not super complicated. These people consume US-based propaganda constantly, but can’t move there because they have no skills nor enough cash to be able to immigrate.
I do wonder if at some point soon the US will grant “refugee” status to white Canadian MAGA to help them flip swing districts there.
If they move it will raise the average IQ of both countries.
I’ll be the Debbie downer and respond to your silly joke with a serious reply.
Quite often political affiliation is related to cultural or geographical factors and not intelligence. I’ve lived in a variety of places both leaning conservative and liberal, including a couple US states. I’ve both met intelligent and idiotic people everywhere I’ve been.
I’ve also seen people be willfully ignorant on both sides of the political spectrum. This isn’t to say “enlightened centrism, all sides equal” because fascism is quite uniquely bad. But the tendencies to get into these bubbles are a human behaviour and not geographic.
Apologies for the pedantic response to what was clearly a harmless joke.
I see where you're trying to say here, but you're making the mistake of conflating conservatism with fascism. There may well be right leaning people and left-leaning people with similar IQs, but it requires a special degree of stupid and willful ignorance to believe the many, many lies that come out of the Trump Whitehouse.
I’m not making any mistake.
Intelligent people can choose to be willfully ignorant, no matter their political affiliation. For example I personally know a person who is extremely brilliant yet parrot Jordan Peterson. This person is amongst the world’s most capable in his highly competitive and lucrative field — so while I find this person’s politics deeply abhorrent I cannot find him stupid.
The problem with over-attributing stupidity to things we simply don’t like is that it masks the other factors which produce the outcomes we as a society are trying to avoid, such as fascism.
What a colossal piece of shit.
Every single day he finds a new way to enforce the idea that he is, in fact, a colossal piece of shit.
I can't wait to be able to piss on his grave, that day can't come soon enough...
The bone spurs could not even be bothered to go to war when his name was called, yet his brother did.
He has no right to say poop about war.
You won't find those people here, they are on truth social.
You’re probably not going to get a lot of answers from your intended audience on Lemmy.
Also, it’s indefensible and could not exist without willful ignorance.
fun fact: there was a romanian guy who was captured in WW2, and he was sent to a psych asylum because everyone thought he was talking in a cryptic language and they thought he was insane. Anyway, 60 years later, a romanian doctor came to the hospital, and they released the guy because they found out he was speaking in romanian.
Apparently Trump has made it official - he thinks he will be the next Pope.
This can't be a real thing.
I'm not religious, but I feel like this is somehow extra super duper disrespectful. Religious folk are not known for their tolerance of false or satirical iconography.
But I guess he's insulting Catholics so it's probably totally cool with his evangelical base. Oh who am I kidding, he could make AI scat porn with their Lord and Saviour and they'd find a passage in the Bible that supports it.
Do we have any source? I can't find it on truthsocial.com
I'd flatten my nuts with a mallet before I go on truth social, but if you google it you can find other sources talking about it. Such as New York Post, who I assume is proud of his announcement: https://nypost.com/2025/05/02/us-news/trump-declares-may-8-victory-day-for-world-war-ii/
As usual with Trump, when you look into it you realize it's worse than you originally thought:
Trump acknowledged in a Truth Social that “many of our allies and friends” already celebrate on May 8, but said America should join in because “we did more than any other Country, by far, in producing a victorious result.
Man, fuck this guy.
Don't lower yourself to go personally. Send your User Agent on your behalf so you don't have to sully yourself.
Seriously, he's not the Medusa.
Sooo we just ignoring the red army's march from stalingrad to berlin now?
Stupid is stupid, no matter what country you are from. There will always be people who prefer ignorance to education, in any country. The trick is to deal with them efficiently and effectively. "Just watch me."
Yeah im the american that has been dropping my two cents with these. What upsets me is the idea of a victory celebration which sounds disgusting. War no matter the circumstances sucks and we should be only engaging in it reluctantly when we have to. We should celebrate freedom and democracy but since that is antithesis to what trump wants he wants this. We have memorial day late may to honor the fallen and veterans day to honor those who served and survived. We had victory celebrations at the time of victory because war is hell and the populace needed it but we don't need to celebrate historical victories year after year like some loser relating his high school glory days.
Trump is hoping to have a giant military parade to commemorate The Great Patriotic War. I am surprised that he is not celebrating it on May 9th.
Yeah as I said in another thread, it's a Triumph for Diaperius Maximus.
Truly, America is a parody of itself.
He just makes it sound like these other countries are not remembering the efforts from all the allies, including the U.S. I can tell you first hand that is not the case. I think any US WWII veteran can confirm.
Idiot bought into the American propaganda “Hollywood movies told me Americans single handedly ended the nazis and saved the world!”. And why is he celebrating the defeat of Nazi Germany when he worships it?
