WASHINGTON D.C May 10, 2026 — President Donald J. Trump praised motherhood as “the most important job there is in America or any place else” during a special Mother’s Day event held Sunday in the White House Rose Garden.
In a video released by the White House on X, Trump addressed an audience of mothers and their families gathered for an elegant outdoor luncheon. Guests were seated at tables shaded by yellow-and-white striped umbrellas, surrounded by vibrant floral arrangements of white, pink, and red roses in full bloom. The president spoke from a podium bearing the presidential seal, with the White House colonnade visible in the background.
“You have the most important job there is in America or any place else… I just want to wish you all a very happy Mother’s Day,” Trump said in the roughly 31-second clip.
Footage from the event shows attendees — many dressed in spring attire, some wearing sunglasses and hats — listening attentively, clapping, and enjoying the sunny afternoon setting. The Rose Garden was decorated with lush greenery, flowering bushes, and American flags, creating a festive atmosphere for the traditional presidential tribute.
The celebration continues a long-standing White House custom of publicly recognizing Mother’s Day, observed annually on the second Sunday in May. This year’s event underscored the administration’s emphasis on family values and the vital role of mothers in American society.
The White House post, shared late Sunday afternoon, quickly drew thousands of likes, reposts, and comments from supporters across the country.
