Trump Honors Mothers at Rose Garden Mother's Day Lunch

Trump praised mothers who lost children to violence and war while highlighting falling border crossings and fentanyl smuggling, the White House said.

  • President Donald Trump hosted Angel Moms and Gold Star Mothers at a White House Rose Garden luncheon on Friday, May 08, 2026, honoring mothers who lost children to military service or immigrant-related crimes.
  • Honoring Gold Star families, Trump recognized Janice Chance, whose son, Marine Capt. Jesse Melton, died in Afghanistan, and the 13 service members killed in the 2021 Abbey Gate attack.
  • Criticizing past border policies, Trump labeled them "stupid borders" created by "stupid people," while claiming his administration successfully established "The strongest border in American history."
  • Despite Forbes reporting Thursday that drug price estimates are "largely speculative," Trump touted policy shifts, asserting he "stopped transgender mutilization of your children."
  • Closing the luncheon, Trump called motherhood "the most important job there is," praising the women as "strong and truly heroic moms" for their resilience in the face of profound loss.
