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.
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.
A third simple resolved: "Trump is a moron."
