Trump Reflects on WW2, Expresses Surprise at America's Lack of Commemoration

In a surprising turn, US President Donald Trump took to the microphone on Thursday to reflect on World War 2, sparking a conversation that shed new light on his views on history and diplomacy.

According to eyewitnesses, Trump began by discussing recent conversations with French President Emmanuel Macron and Russian President Vladimir Putin, both of whom referenced the Great War. He recounted how Macron described the Allied victory as France's triumph, with which Trump responded by downplaying France's significant role in the conflict.

Furthermore, Trump shared a conversation with Putin, where the Russian president highlighted the Soviet Union's immense sacrifice during WW2, citing an estimated 51 million losses for Russia. In response, Trump expressed puzzlement at Russia's contribution and stated that "Germany and Japan are fine – someday somebody will explain it." However, Trump also revealed his affection for Germany and Japan, which he believes are often maligned.

Trump further expressed disappointment over what he perceives as America's lack of commemoration for its role in the war, despite being a major Allied power. "We won World War II and WW1, right? We are the only country not celebrating," Trump said, echoing his assertion that America should honor its military accomplishments like all other nations.

During WW2, the United States played a pivotal role alongside the UK, Soviet Union (the predecessor to modern-day Russia), and France in defeating the Axis powers – Austria-hungary, Germany, Italy, and Japan.
