WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley isn’t pulling punches when it comes to what he sees happening across the United States.
In a passionate video posted to his YouTube channel, Foley aimed a direct plea at Donald Trump, asking him to put an end to the chaos caused by recent ICE raids and deportations under his leadership. Foley, never afraid to speak from the heart, addressed Trump not just as a political figure, but as a fellow WWE Hall of Famer and human being.
“I’m here to appeal to you as a human being because only you can stop the madness that’s going on in our country,” Foley said. “You deserve the Nobel Peace Prize. It’s yours if you can stop the madness in this country, because you will not be given the Nobel Peace Prize if you are seen as inciting tension, terror, and if you are seen zip-tying children and senior citizens, abducting day laborers just looking to do an honest day’s work.”
Foley made it clear—when fear spreads across entire communities, he sees it as terrorism, even if he’s hesitant to use the word.
“I don’t want to use the word terror, but if people are terrified across wide swaths of the United States, in my opinion, that’s terrorism.”
He also shared a personal story involving a friend whose immigrant family was targeted by ICE. The details were chilling.
“As of now, I know someone who has been affected. Not going to name names. He’s a big dude, tough dude, strong dude, married into an immigrant family. He came home to find that his mother-in-law was gone — taken off the street, deported. His father-in-law was gone in about five days’ time. He was told, ‘Do not post this on social media or we will go after your wife even quicker and deport her.’”
Foley said the family had been in the U.S. for years, paid taxes, and had no criminal record. Still, their lives were ripped apart—and it was the threat of silence that disturbed him most.
“Despite the fact she’s been in this country since she was one year old, they pay their taxes, not so much as a speeding ticket. They’re active in their local community and their church, and despite that, their lives are shattered.”
Toward the end of his video, Foley raised concerns about Trump’s approach to power, warning of what it could mean for the future of the country.
“It appears to me as if you’re trying to consolidate power, perhaps turn our country into something of an autocracy. And if it does, then you get to rewrite history and you get to be the hero. But if that does not happen… history will not treat you kindly.”
But Foley wasn’t finished. He doubled down, telling Trump no one else can fix this but him.
“You and you alone have the ability to diffuse the tension, to stop the madness, to halt the terror. You, Mr. President, and you alone have the ability to bring peace to America… This is just me looking at the camera, speaking from my heart to you — a fellow human being, a fellow 2013 WWE Hall of Fame member. You and you alone, Mr. President, have the power to stop the madness.”
Whether Trump responds or not, Foley’s message cuts deep. He’s not speaking from a script or looking for headlines—he’s a father, a friend, and a man who’s traveled the country enough times to know when something feels wrong.
