What happened

President Trump wished the Jewish American community and Jews celebrating in Israel and around the world a happy Passover, according to his recorded message.

Trump recounted that more than 3,000 years ago the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob delivered the ancient Israelites out of slavery and into the promised land, in a journey that began with faith in God’s word and ended with a march through the Red Sea and the Exodus from Egypt, according to Trump. He said the world has never been the same, and that the week recalls God’s faithfulness and reminds listeners that with faith, hope, and prayer nothing can stop the people of God, according to the message.

As Jewish families gathered for Seder dinner, Trump asked that God continue to watch over the Jewish people and preserve and protect the United States for generations to come, and said the country is doing better than it has ever done, according to Trump.

Why it matters

The message is the president’s annual Passover greeting for 2026, pairing the Exodus account with his claim about the country’s condition.
