President Trump calls out global elites for ignoring America’s unmatched role in World War II victory.
While the world throws parades, America stays silent. That was President Donald Trump’s blunt message to U.S. troops this week as he criticized foreign leaders for failing to recognize who truly won World War II.
“We love France, great country,” Trump said. “But let’s face it — we did more to win the war than they did. Without the United States, Europe would still be under Nazi control.”
Speaking to service members at Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, Trump pulled no punches. He recounted how Adolf Hitler once posed victoriously at the Eiffel Tower, calling it “a dark moment in French history.”
Trump Hits Macron Over WWII Boasts
Trump recalled a recent phone call with French President Emmanuel Macron.
“He says, ‘Donald, we are celebrating our victory over the Germans.’ I said, ‘Really? That’s nice — but America doesn’t even get a parade.’”
The 45th President didn’t stop there. He reminded the audience that France, Britain, and even Russia have lavish Victory Day celebrations each year. Meanwhile, the United States — the very nation that turned the tide in both Europe and the Pacific — does little to honor its triumph.
“Russia is celebrating. France is celebrating. And we’re the ones who actually won the war,” Trump said. “Without America, they’re all speaking German… and maybe a little Japanese, too.”
Trump Declares May 8th “Victory Day” for America
In true patriotic fashion, Trump had earlier declared May 8th as “Victory Day” for World War II and November 11th as “Victory Day” for World War I — a move praised by veterans and historians who value truth over political correctness.
“America led the fight for freedom,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “We did more than any other country — by far.”
Liberal Historians Push Back — But Patriots Know the Truth
As expected, left-leaning academics were quick to criticize Trump’s remarks. They pointed to Soviet battlefield numbers or the British contribution. But for everyday Americans — especially those who lived through it — the truth is simple: It was American strength, sacrifice, and resolve that defeated tyranny.
France’s Resistance Was Real — But It Was U.S. Blood That Freed Europe
Yes, the Free French Forces and Resistance fighters played a part. But France fell in 1940. America brought it back — along with most of Western Europe.
From the beaches of Normandy to the heart of Berlin, it was American soldiers, tanks, and resolve that changed the course of history.
