Trump Doubles Down On WW2 Victory Claim, Says US 'Won The War' And Only Helped Allies When Needed

Oneindia

Donald Trump stirred fresh controversy by insisting the United States was solely responsible for winning World War II. In a speech, he stated, “WE were the ones that won the war,” minimizing Allied contributions. He later added that “we were helped, and in some cases, we had to help THEM,” further intensifying backlash. Historians and critics have slammed the remarks as revisionist and disrespectful. Trump, however, remains defiant, framing the statement as a bold assertion of American strength in global history, especially during his campaign push.     #TrumpWW2Claim #TrumpSpeech #WW2Victory #USHistory #HistoricalRevisionism #TrumpControversy #AmericaFirst #Trump2024 #AlliedForces #TrumpGaffe #WorldWarTwo #PresidentialElection #USMilitary #TrumpStatements #PoliticalNews #WWIIHistory #HistoryDebate #USPolitics #TrumpCampaign #GlobalReactions  Also Read  Russia Marks 80th Anniversary of Nazi Germany's Defeat with Grand Victory Day Parade :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/victory-day-parade-russia-80th-anniversary-defeat-nazi-germany-011-4148945.html?ref=DMDesc  Emmanuel Macron Commemorates Geneviève Callerot, WWII Resistance Activist and Author :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/france-macron-tributes-genevieve-callerot-011-4046361.html?ref=DMDesc  Pearl Harbour Survivors Aged 104 and 102 Return to Hawaii to Honour Victims of 1941 Attack :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/pearl-harbour-survivors-honour-victims-ceremony-011-4009397.html?ref=DMDesc    ~HT.336~
