Donald Trump loves to talk about his dad. According to Donald, Fred Trump was an intense, hard-working man who made him the business giant and political figure he is today. But if you ask yourself what you know about his mother, Mary MacLeod Trump, little — if anything — probably comes to mind. That’s because Donald Trump doesn’t talk about his mother.
We know they weren’t especially close. In Trump’s book, Think Like a Champion, he misspelled his mother’s maiden name. And in 1990, Vanity Fair published a piece featuring a quote from Mary asking, “What kind of son have I created?”
What we do know about Mary Trump, though, is pretty fascinating and may just explain the man who is Donald Trump.
1. Trump may automate tweets about his mother
Trump doesn’t tweet very much about his mother, but, when he does, it’s often the same exact thing, word for word. “Advice from my mother, Mary MacLeod Trump: Trust in God and be true to yourself,” he tweeted periodically throughout 2013, 2014, and 2015. If they aren’t automated, it’s safe to say they’re at least copied and pasted from the last time he thought to remind Twitter of his mother’s words of wisdom. Originally, the exact sentiment came from his 2004 book, How to Get Rich.
