Donald Trump said he was inspired by Russia’s Victory Day celebrations, declaring that the U.S. should have its own “Victory Day.” Speaking at Arlington Cemetery on Veterans Day, Trump said he had watched Russia and the UK mark World War II victories and promised to restore America’s “winning spirit” by honoring military triumphs under his administration. He hinted that Veterans Day could even be renamed “Victory Day.” #trump #US #russia  #apt

00:00As you know, today is not only Veterans Day, but it's my proclamation that we are now going

00:07to be saying and calling Victory Day for World War I. Victory Day, you know, I was recently

00:16at an event and I saw France was celebrating Victory Day, but we didn't. And I saw France

00:23were celebrating another Victory Day for World War II. And other countries were celebrating.

00:30They were all celebrating. We're the one that won the wars. And I said, from now on, we're

00:35going to say Victory Day for World War I and World War II. And we could do for plenty of

00:41other wars, but we'll start with those two. Maybe someday somebody else will add a couple

00:47of more because we won a lot of good ones. But when I see other countries celebrating

00:51Victory Day, I watched it. I watched UK. I watched Russia. They were celebrating Victory

00:59Day, World War II. And I said, we got to have a Victory Day. Nobody even talked about it

01:04in our country. But from now on, we're going to be celebrating Victory Day for World War

01:10I, for World War II, and frankly, for everything else. Under the Trump administration, we're

01:17restoring the pride and the winning spirit of the United States military. That's why we have

01:22officially renamed the Department of Defense back to the original name, Department of War.

01:31And remember, we won World War I. We won World War II. We won everything in between. We won

01:39everything that came before. And then we brilliantly decided to change the name of this great, this

01:48great thing that we all created together. And we became politically correct. We don't like

01:55being politically correct. So we're not going to be politically correct anymore. From now on,

02:00when we fight a war, we only fight for one reason, to win. We fight to win.

02:09And under my leadership, we're also fighting for the great veterans who have always, always been there

02:16for us. And especially when we needed them and needed them most. In nine months, the Trump administration

02:24has cut the backlog of VA benefit claims in half. That's a big achievement. And Doug is going to

02:32get it down to zero. During the Biden administration, the backlog exploded like we had never seen before.

02:41And I'm going to eliminate 100 percent of that backlog. We're moving at that pace. And already,

02:46we've processed more than 3 million backlog claims, the most of any year in the history of the VA. We've

02:54added more than 1 million extra service hours across the VA centers. And we've opened 20 new facilities

03:02in 13 states, something that people said just not possible to do. We also have brought back VA choice

03:11and VA accountability taken away by the Biden administration so that when you have to wait

03:17online, you go out and you get yourself a doctor. We pay for the doctor if you have to wait.

03:23And the other thing is, we fired thousands of people who didn't take care of our great veterans.

03:30They were sadists. They were sick people. They were thieves. They were everything you want to name.

03:36And we got rid of over 9,000 of them. And then when Biden came in, he hired them back,

03:42many of them. But we got rid of them. And I think we got rid of them permanently.

03:46We replaced them with people who love our veterans, not people who are sick people.

03:52We're also confronting the challenge of veterans homelessness. And earlier this year,

03:57I signed an order establishing the National Center for Warrior Independence to house up to 6,000

04:03veterans and veterans in need. And we will not stop until we have ended the tragedy of homeless veterans.

04:09Once and for all, I'd see in New York where people that came into our country illegally,

04:15they came in illegally, would be put up in hotels. And veterans would be sitting on the sidewalk

04:24outside of that hotel where these other people are put in. And many of the people that came in

04:28were put in from prisons. They were murderers. They were drug dealers. They were people that we

04:35didn't want in our country. They were staying in hotels, luxury hotels. And our veterans were sitting

04:40on the sidewalks watching them go in. I said, that's never going to happen under this administration.

04:47I also signed the VA Home Loan Program Reform Act because no veterans should be kicked out of their home

04:55home for what they call a late payment. It's not happening. And I'm pleased to report that since

05:01January, the veterans unemployment rate has fallen by more than 26%. That's amazing. Work hard on that.
