President Donald Trump released a Father’s Day proclamation that unapologetically celebrates traditional masculinity and the essential role of fathers in American life.
He emphasized that fathers are the foundation of our families, communities, and national security—describing them as “custodians of our strength” who form the moral backbone of our nation. The proclamation honors dads by birth, adoption, or mentorship who demonstrate leadership, sacrifice, and love through their daily actions.
Trump highlights how fathers:
-
Rise early and work late, placing their families’ needs above their own
-
Teach vital lessons like hard work, love of country, and living with conviction
-
Shape character and virtue, setting the tone for the next generation
He criticizes progressive efforts to dismiss masculinity as toxic or reduce individuals to generic identity labels, asserting that strong, masculine role models are needed to counteract harmful gender ideologies.
The proclamation reaffirms his commitment to policies that protect families and traditional values—promising continued support for fathers through stronger law enforcement, safer neighborhoods, a secure southern border, and resistance to radical gender ideology.
“This Father’s Day, we honor the selflessness and devotion of America’s fathers,” Trump said. “We stand with them as they lead with strength, protect their loved ones, and pass on the timeless values that make our country great.”
