Recently, Donald Trump proclaimed May 8 and November 11 as "Victory Days" to honor military accomplishments, aiming to shift attention towards U.S. victories in World War II and I. However, this declaration faced backlash due to historical inaccuracies, as World War II's official end for the U.S. was in 1945, and it threatens existing holidays like Veterans Day. Despite his claims, Trump cannot unilaterally establish federal holidays; the responsibility lies with Congress. His ambiguous vision for celebrations has also drawn ridicule, which might include mocking the contributions of allies.
Trump's recent declaration of May 8 and November 11 as "Victory Days" raises questions about the legitimacy of new holidays that Congress must establish.
