We should also acknowledge the desperate lengths to which the US government has gone to soil any honor accrued in any previous wars.

On the recent anniversary of the fall of Auschwitz, The White House twitter account claimed it as a victory of ‘The United States and UK’. Supposedly the already-dishonest ‘Allied Troops’ is not cutting it anymore.

And then proceeded to imprison the whole country this camp is located in. And a few others on top of that.

Not to defend Trump, I can't think of more than a handful of times I've ever agreed with him, but can you imagine the uproar had he praised Russia for their efforts at Auschwitz?

Probably would have been best to praise the result without mentioning any specific parties involved in carrying it out. Then again, Trump isn't really known for thinking in nuance.

Why should that be an uproar? We've had these memorials of world war II for decades since the end of the war.

From his supporters? Bearing in mind that he has a well established history of openly admiring Putin? I don't see why that would be a problem at all.
