Here’s a shorter version of the text that keeps the core meaning:
Donald Trump recently claimed that without the U.S., Europe wouldn’t have won World War II, stating, “We’re the ones that won the war.” Known for his bold statements — including calling himself the “father of IVF” despite needing it explained to him — Trump made the remark during a visit to American troops in Qatar.
He also proposed making May 8th “Victory Day for World War II” in the U.S., inspired by how other countries commemorate VE Day. Mocking France, he joked in a fake French accent about President Macron celebrating “victory over the Germans,” saying, “What the hell? Every country’s celebrating but us.”
Trump added that without U.S. intervention, “the whole world would be speaking German — maybe even a little Japanese.”
While the U.S. played a key role in the war, it only joined in late 1941 after Japan’s Pearl Harbor attack. Critics slammed Trump’s comments as misleading, pointing out the U.S. was among the last major powers to enter the war. One user wrote, “We were the last to join — the least involved among the big players.”
Trump’s portrayal of history has been widely dismissed as exaggerated and self-serving.
