The Military Times reports:
President Donald Trump in a social media post Thursday announced plans to rename Veterans Day as “Victory Day for World War I” and establish May 8 as “Victory Day for World War II.”
“We won both wars, nobody was close to us in terms of strength, bravery, or military brilliance, but we never celebrate anything,” Trump wrote in the late night statement. “That’s because we don’t have leaders anymore, that know how to do so! We are going to start celebrating our victories again!”
The move to rename Veterans Day — established to coincide with the end date of World War II — would overwrite 87 years of precedent in recognizing Nov. 11 as a national holiday celebrating all veterans.

Veterans Day was created through congressional legislation, the president cannot unilaterally “rename” it. https://t.co/0g1CZPOO1t

Sometimes Trump comes up with things so monumentally stupid even I’m at a loss for words. He wants to take away Veterans Day. He thinks WWII ended on May 8th. This is all so ridiculous. At what point do Republicans admit Trump is insane? https://t.co/XuaTn2HQhZ

Perhaps I should post every day this month that May is #MilitaryAppreciationMonth to keep reminding the idiots who will ignorantly post ad nauseam on social media next month how bitterly unfair it is that LGBTQ+ get a whole month while Military and Veterans only get one day. pic.twitter.com/xdZ7hGBNuG

The president seemed to forget about Hiroshima, Nagasaki, and victory over the Japanese. He also wants to cancel Veterans Day. https://t.co/zeoIynUZ4B
