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.

    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?

    And that’s the question. If you think the US is so great, why don’t you just move there? Somehow, you’ve decided that the fascists and Nazis your grandfathers fought and died to protect you from, are now your heroes? Maybe get off fox news. Maybe get off FB. Maybe take some college courses. Maybe learn to read and think again.

    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.

    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.

      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.

          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.

                I disagree. Even considering that narcissism is a spectrum and Drumpf is one of the most narcissistic people alive does not fully explain his behavior.

                E.g. He even lied about stuff where it didn’t score points for him. Sometimes the truth would have even been better for him. He loves lying almost as much as he loves himself.

                There’s a couple of disorders on top of his incredibly malignant narcissism.

    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.

        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.

              “Stupid” is deliberately doing what you should KNOW is counter to good results. It has nothing to do with intelligence. The winners of the Darwin Awards usually do not lack intelligence, they are just stupid (or at least just do stupid things).

              Being very conservative with your money, handling it in a conservative manner, running a business conservatively, has nothing to do with fascism. THAT is the problem we are currently facing - the blunt fact that fascism is not the same as being conservative (small ‘c’), but that the Conservatives (capital ‘C’) are also becoming fascist along with being conservative. Two entirely different things.

              Diefenbaker could NEVER, in any intelligent discussion, be labeled as a ‘fascist’. He was in many ways very socially responsible.

              Carney, although he is the leader of the Liberal party, will methinks turnout to be conservative in his economic policies, just like Turner was.

      I wouldn’t say the UK was the second most influential—realistically, that spot goes to the US. And I’m not even a big fan of the US right now, but their industrial power, global logistics, and role in both Europe and the Pacific made a massive difference. Without their support, especially through Lend-Lease and D-Day, things could’ve turned out very differently.

      Actually, it was the Canadian soldiers that marched through Italy; the Canadian soldiers that marched north to Denmark and protected the American flank; the Canadian landing at Juno beach which not only protected the American flank, but pushed further and faster, greeting the American troops as they finally pushed off of their beachhead; the Canadian top command that developed the more efficient ways of fighting a modern battle, especially the results learned from the essentially Canadian Dieppe raid (which WAS successful, the Canadians got off the beach and made it to the post office for what they went for); the Canadian scientists that worked on the development of the Atomic bomb long before the Manhattan Project, and went on to establish Chalk River; the Canadian merchant marine that kept Britain supplied during the war… the list goes on and on. You do not need to be a tankie, just a good student of Canadian history.

      Unfortunately for our Canadian legacy, we do not brag.

        To extend to this, the rest of the British Empire at the time did massive contributions. The Aussies did real work during the Africa Campaign, even holding a town that single-handedly crippled the Afrika Corps’s advance towards Egypt (also Egyptions doing some great work supporting Commonwealth troops as they prepared for the counterattack), countless Indian sacrifices all over the place despite Churchill causing more Indian deaths than the Germans at the same time, New Zealand giving a good show despite basically not having an economy or a population at the time. Frankly, you can point at almost any part of the commonwealth, and they all punched way above their weights for this war, and that doesn’t even start talking about the British homefront.

        And outside of the colonies, Poland really carried hard on several ways, from volunteers flying during the Battle for Britain, to a single small destroyer soloing the Bismark for an entire hour screaming at the battleship dozens times larger than it (the full story of the Piorun is insane).

        Either way, tons of recognition is deserved all around, not just pointing at the UK, Russia, and the US.

      While that’s largely true, it also oversimplifies the realities of the conflict.

      Without American aid the Russians wouldn’t have been able to repel the Germans nearly as effective ective as they did (if at all), and without D-day splitting the war into two fronts, Russian losses on the way to Berlin would’ve been significantly higher.

      That all said, Trump’s statement is obviously horseshit and a complete disservice to the rest of all the allied forces.

        Exactly. Every nation gave something. The USSR gave immense amounts of life, the British gave intelligence, the Americans gave industrial capacity, the Canadians, Australians, and New Zealish gave a courage that they rarely are credited for, many British colonies gave enough to be able to leverage it in their pushes for sovereignty, the occupied nations and surviving German and Italian antifascists gave their resistance, intelligence, and worked to keep victims safe.

        No nation beat the axis alone. Each combatant gave enough lives to hurt. Each nation gave enough money that the civilians felt the pain. And each nation had both fascists and antifascists in it. When we focus on who did most we open the door to nationalistic thinking when the lesson we should take is an internationalist one

    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.
