In a powerful and emotional appeal, dozens of “Angel parents” — families who lost loved ones to fentanyl and illegal drug trafficking — have united to call for former U.S. President Donald J. Trump to be awarded the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize. The families praised Trump’s “historic efforts” to combat drug cartels, human trafficking, and illegal immigration, describing his leadership as “a fight to save countless lives.”
A Movement Born from Grief and Determination
The initiative was launched at a memorial gathering in Washington, D.C., where parents and advocates shared personal stories of loss caused by the deadly opioid crisis. Many participants held photos of their children who died from fentanyl poisoning — a drug responsible for tens of thousands of American deaths each year.
“President Trump was the first leader who truly listened,” said one grieving father. “He recognized the crisis for what it was — a war being waged on our streets — and took bold action when others only offered words.”
Praising Trump’s “Peace Through Strength”
Supporters credit Trump for policies that strengthened border security, increased cooperation with Latin American governments, and pressured criminal networks linked to drug smuggling and human trafficking. They argue that these actions not only protected American communities but also saved lives on both sides of the border.
“By confronting the cartels, he wasn’t just defending the U.S.,” said another advocate. “He was fighting for peace — the kind of peace that comes when families no longer fear losing a child to drugs.”
A Controversial Nomination
The call for Trump’s Nobel Peace Prize has drawn both praise and criticism. Supporters emphasize his anti-drug and anti-trafficking campaigns, while critics argue that his policies were divisive and politically charged.
Despite the debate, the movement has gained traction online, with hashtags such as #NobelForTrump and #JusticeForVictims trending across social media platforms.
Looking Ahead
The Nobel Committee has not commented on the proposal, but the campaign continues to grow. For the families behind it, the effort is about more than politics — it’s about recognizing a fight they believe saved lives and brought hope to victims of one of the world’s deadliest epidemics.
As one mother concluded, holding back tears:
“We’re not asking for fame. We’re asking for peace — and for the man who fought for it to be honored.”
