One minute the US is a ‘stupid country’ and the next it’s the victor of all the world wars…
Donald Trump has hit out at Europe for celebrating the end of World War Two.
Despite ruling April 2 ‘Liberation Day’ for the US in his bid to ‘Make America Great Again’, Trump bizarrely called the US a ‘stupid country’ earlier this month.
And he hasn’t just decided to offend Americans either, but has since spoken out about Europe too.
Yesterday (May 15), Trump addressed US troops stationed in Qatar as part of his trip to the Middle East.
He said: “A week ago, May 8, I call up a certain country and they say, ‘Oh we’re celebrating the victory of World War Two today’.
“And I say, ‘Oh okay’.”
Trumps’ speech got even more outrageous from then on.

Trump continued: “I speak to one of the presidents or prime ministers or whatever. And they were so busy, ‘Oh yes we’re celebrating the victory of WW2’. And I speak to another one and they’re celebrating.
“And the fact is Russia was celebrating, France was celebrating, everyone but us.
“And we’re the ones that won the war. We won the war and they help, but without us they don’t win the war, we’re all speaking German – without us they’re speaking German and maybe a little Japanese too.”
Oh and then he decided to single out France too.

He added, as quoted by Euro News: “I think we did a little more to win the war than France did. Now, we love France, right? But I think we did a little more to win the war than France. Do we agree? I don’t want to be a wise guy, but when Hitler made a speech at the Eiffel Tower, I would say that wasn’t exactly ideal.”
Imitating French Prime Minister Emmanuel Macron’s accent, Trump continued: “‘Donald, we are celebrating our victory over the Germans’.
“I said, ‘What the hell?’ Every country I’ve spoken to in the last week is celebrating the war but us. Isn’t that terrible?”
Trump resolved: “We won the war and we’re the only ones who didn’t celebrate, so what I did, is I got my crack staff over there and we did it every time we had May 8 and we also have the date in November, that sacred date in November for World War One, because we won that war too.”
Subsequently, not only May 8 but November 11 will be known as ‘Victory Day for World War I’ – rather than Veteran’s Day, People adds.
And it’s not taken long for people to weigh in.
🇺🇸 Donald Trump on Victory Day for WWII: Russia was celebrating. France was celebrating. Everybody was celebrating but us — and we’re the ones that won the war! They helped, but without us, they’re speaking German. Maybe a little Japanese, too.
One Twitter user said: “And this is why Europe wants nothing to do with the US.”
“Without France, Americans would still be drinking Her Britannic Majesty’s tea,” another added.

Donald Trump reveals ‘very important’ point as he addresses rumors about running for third term as president
Trump also shared that he believes he has already served three terms
Donald Trump has talked about serving three terms as he addressed rumors about his future plans.
The president of the United States is currently serving his second time in office, but has joked many times about running for a third term.
Trump once refused to talk about the loopholes which could see him being able to run a third time, even though it is banned by the US constitution.
But US Representative Andy Ogles later suggested making a change to the 22nd Amendment to allow for him to run smoothly.
Anyway, former White House strategist and senior advisor to Trump in 2017, Steve Bannon said they might not need to ‘amend the constitution’ so Trump can go for three.

Oddly, Trump has said that he’s already completed three terms, at an appearance at a rally in Michigan to mark the first 100 days of his second term last month where when the crowd chanted ‘three’ in support of a third run, he responded: “Well, we actually already served three, if you count.
“But remember, I like the victories, I like the three victories which we absolutely had. I just don’t like the results of the middle term.”
Essentially, he was making a remark that the 2020 election was rigged – which saw him lose to Joe Biden.
But all of this talk of Trump’s teasing of the idea has got it into people’s heads that it could be a reality soon.
Has anyone asked him whether or not he wants to run again?
Because apparently, he has no interest, despite hinting that he might.

“I’ll be an eight-year president, I’ll be a two-term president. I always thought that was very important,” Trump told NBC at the Meet the Press event on Sunday (May 4).
While he has claimed before that he is ‘not joking’ about wanting to serve a third term or longer, he went on to say that it was all to fuel the ‘fake news media’.
The Trump Organization was also selling ‘Trump 2028’ hats to continue the charade.
He shared that people have asked him to run again, but it’s not what he wants to do.

“So many people want me to do it,” Trump said. “It’s something that, to the best of my knowledge, you’re not allowed to do. I don’t know if that’s constitutional that they’re not allowing you to do it or anything else.”
Online, people had mixed thoughts on this, with one person stating he was contradicting himself, while another wrote: “This isn’t what he was saying before but either way we’re thankful….”
He added that ‘there are many people selling the 2028 hat’, but ‘this is not something I’m looking to do’.
So, there’s your answer. Trump has no plans to run again, and to be honest, with the way his statistics are looking, it seems like many do not want Trump to run again either.

Trump promises to sign ‘one of the most consequential’ executive orders made in history
It will reportedly help the US save ‘trillions of dollars’
Trump is set to sign ‘one of the most consequential’ executive orders in US history, addressing a ‘very embarrassing’ issue.
Since becoming president of the US, Trump has signed a record number of executive orders.
In a post to Truth Social yesterday (May 11), the POTUS revealed he’s set to sign ‘one of the most consequential’ executive orders not just since he was sworn in for his second term, but in the history of the US.
This morning at 9:00am at the White House, Trump is subsequently set to sign an executive order set to slash the cost of prescription drug prices.
His post reads: “For many years the World has wondered why Prescription Drugs and Pharmaceuticals in the United States States of America were SO MUCH HIGHER IN PRICE THAN THEY WERE IN ANY OTHER NATION, SOMETIMES BEING FIVE TO TEN TIMES MORE EXPENSIVE THAN THE SAME DRUG, MANUFACTURED IN THE EXACT SAME LABORATORY OR PLANT, BY THE SAME COMPANY???

“It was always difficult to explain and very embarrassing because, in fact, there was no correct or rightful answer.”
The post continues: “The Pharmaceutical/Drug Companies would say, for years, that it was Research and Development Costs, and that all of these costs were, and would be, for no reason whatsoever, borne by the ‘suckers’ of America, ALONE.
“Campaign Contributions can do wonders, but not with me, and not with the Republican Party. We are going to do the right thing, something that the Democrats have fought for many years.”
Trump announced the order is set to reduce prescription drug and pharmaceutical prices ‘almost immediately’ ‘by 30 percent to 80 percent’.

“They will rise throughout the World in order to equalize and, for the first time in many years, bring FAIRNESS TO AMERICA!” Trump’s post adds. “I will be instituting a MOST FAVORED NATION’S POLICY whereby the United States will pay the same price as the Nation that pays the lowest price anywhere in the World.”
The post resolves: “Our Country will finally be treated fairly, and our citizens Healthcare Costs will be reduced by numbers never even thought of before. Additionally, on top of everything else, the United States will save TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS. Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
Trump already attempted to reduce drug prices during his first term as president, and more recently made some comments about targeting the pharmaceuticals industry last month.

In 2020, Trump released a series of executive orders which would have only applied to drugs paid for my Medicare Part B and not Part D – impacting drugs administered by doctors opposed to those taken at home.
Pharmaceutical companies hit back at the time, and the orders were ultimately blocked by a federal judge.
At an event with the National Republican congressional committee last month, Trump insisted the tariffs he first unveiled on so-called ‘Liberation Day’ would incentivize drug companies to relocate to the US.
He said: “We’re going to tariff our pharmaceuticals and once we do that they’re going to come rushing back into our country because we’re the big market.
“So we’re going to be announcing very shortly a major tariff on pharmaceuticals and when they hear that, they will leave China, they will leave other places because they have to – most of their product is sold here and they’re going to be opening up their plants all over our country.”
The POTUS had also stated previously: “The pharmaceutical companies are going to come roaring back. … because if they don’t, they’ve got a big tax to pay.”Featured Image Credit: Anna Moneymaker/Getty Images

Trump gives brutal three-word response after Mark Carney says Canada is ‘not for sale’
In the wise words of Justin Bieber…
Donald Trump has questioned whether it would be ‘doable’ to make Canada the 51st state of America while in discussion with newly appointed Prime Minister Mark Carney.
Since being sworn in as the 47th President of the US, Trump not only rolled out tariffs on multiple countries across the globe, but told Canada the ‘solution’ for the country to avoid such tariffs would be to become America’s 51st state.
Now, even with the 25 percent tariffs on Canada having since come into play, Canada has remained firm in its stance against becoming another state of America, with former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau resolving it was never ‘going to happen’ – alongside the country hitting back with its own 25 percent tariffs.
Yesterday (May 6), Trump and newly appointed Prime Minister Mark Carney sat down at the White House for their first meeting since Carney took over from Trudeau – winning the general election on April 28.

Despite the ongoing tensions, Trump and Carney doled out much praise on one another, with Trump describing Carney as a ‘very talented person’ and Carney branding Trump a ‘transformational president’.
Alas, no matter how many compliments the POTUS flings Carney’s way, one thing remains.
Echoing the same sentiment as his predecessor, Carney was certain on one thing – Canada is ‘never [going to be] for sale’.
Likening Canada to Buckingham Palace or the Oval Office, Carney resolved: “As you know from real estate, there are some places that are never for sale.
“Having met with the owners of Canada over the course of the campaign in the last several months, it’s not for sale. Won’t be for sale, ever.”

The prime minister added Canadians are ‘masters in our own home’ and ‘can give ourselves far more than any foreign government can ever take away’.
Shockingly, Trump paid no attention to his resolution.
His response? Well, channeling none other than Justin Bieber, he said: “I say, ‘Never say never’.”
And that wasn’t all…

Trump continued: “I’ve had many, many things that were not doable and ended up being doable.”
It follows a body language expert breaking down the pair’s meeting, with Beth Dawson analyzing the moment on the steps of the White House.
She claimed Carney seemed ‘assertive’ but also ‘submissive’ and ‘apprehensive’.
Dawson added: “The elbow touch, however, shows that he wants to establish connection on equal terms. His expression is one of determination. Carney is not passive, but he is also careful not to come across as overly forceful and he does seem slightly intimidated.”
Well, I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.Featured Image Credit: YouTube/ABCNews

Donald Trump expected to rename another part of the world following petty dispute in upcoming announcement
Because changing the Gulf of Mexico’s name simply wasn’t enough for the POTUS, eh?
Two officials claim Donald Trump is set to announce plans revealing a change to how the US refers to yet another part of the world.
As if signing an executive order to have the Gulf of Mexico’s name changed to the Gulf of America wasn’t enough for Trump, he went on to taunt Greenland – revealing what he’d call it should the US ever acquire it – alongside unveiling plans to reclaim the Panama Canal.
The POTUS also tried to convince Canada to become the 51st state of America – stating it was the only way for it to avoid tariffs – and has shown intent to ‘take over’ Gaza displacing all Palestinians.
And now, it’s rumored he’s set to go for the Persian Gulf too.

The POTUS is set to visit Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates in the forthcoming week, expected to discuss the ongoing Israel-Hamas war in Gaza alongside talking about the Saudi investment in the US and Iran’s nuclear program.
And two US officials have since come forward to The Associated Press to claim he’s also going to declare the US’ plans to no longer refer to the Gulf of Persia as the Persian Gulf or the Gulf of Persia, but instead as the Gulf of Arabia or Arabian Gulf.
Clearly not learning from his past mistakes – or simply not caring – shockingly, this hasn’t gone down too well.
The Persian Gulf has been known as such since the 16th Century, however some the region’s Arab nations refer to it as the Arabian Gulf.
When Google Maps failed to label the body of water off the southern coast of Iran at all, in 2012, Iran decided to sue the company.
Granted, the gulf is known by both two names depending on who you ask, but with Trump sticking his oar in, figures have since spoken out.

A diplomat said, as quoted by The Guardian: “If Trump went ahead with the proposal he would manage to unite every Iranian, pro- or anti-regime, against him, and that is a near impossible achievement.”
Iranian foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, hopes the claims are simply disinformation noting the name does ‘not imply ownership by any particular nation, but rather reflects a shared respect for the collective heritage of humanity,’ the name ‘deeply rooted in human history’.
“Iran has never objected to the use of names such as the Sea of Oman, Indian Ocean, Arabian Sea or Red Sea. In contrast, politically motivated attempts to alter the historically established name of the Persian Gulf are indicative of hostile intent toward Iran and its people, and are firmly condemned. Such biased actions are an affront to all Iranians, regardless of their background or place of residence,” he continued.
“Any shortsighted step in this connection will have no validity or legal or geographical effect, it will only bring the wrath of all Iranians from all walks of life and political persuasion in Iran, the US and across the world.”

While the claims remain, at this moment in time, just that – claims – Trump has referred to the Gulf of Persia in the past.
During his first term as president of the US, Trump referred to the gulf as the Gulf of Arabia which sparked backlash.
The then-president of Iran, Hassan Rouhani, advised Trump to ‘study geography’.
And Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, wrote online: “Everyone knew Trump’s friendship was for sale to the highest bidder. We now know that his geography is, too.”
