While addressing U.S. troops at Al Udeid Air Base in Doha, Qatar, on Thursday, May 15, Trump, 78, spoke about his recent executive order declaring that May 8 is now a national holiday: Victory Day for World War II.

The decision, Trump said, was inspired by seeing other countries celebrate the end of the war in Europe on May 8, also known as VE Day.

"I'd call up a certain country and they said, ‘Oh, we're celebrating the victory of World War II today, sir,’ ” the president said. "Then I speak to another one, and they were celebrating. And the fact is, Russia was celebrating, France was celebrating, everybody was celebrating but us. And we're the ones that won the war."

"We won the war. And they helped, but without us, they don't win the war,” Trump continued. “We're all speaking German. Without us, they're speaking German — maybe a little Japanese too."

We don't celebrate victories. Even Independence Day isn't celebrated on the anniversary of the British defeat.

That's just not what we do.

Maybe it's not what *you* do, Floridian.

Also, isn't Veterans' Day basically a rebranded Armistice Day? That's right murder, we snuck in a victory celebration behind your ass.

I thought Patriots Day was in honor of the Tsarnaev brothers.

Funny, because they're the only ones with a somewhat valid claim to the contrary.

It was easy for the Russians to win since they were on both sides. ;o)
