Trump is an idiot [View all]

Today is VE Day, (May 8, 1945) the end of the war in Europe. Trump wants to rename it Victory Day.

To celebrate it, Trump posted the following on Truth Social.

https://digbysblog.net/

It’s an image of an iconic photo of marines raising the flag atop Mt Suribachi after the Battle of Iwo Jima, which most high school students would know was against the Japanese in the Pacific. VJ Day was Aug 15, 1945.

A man this stupid should not be renaming anything
