“Genes are funny like that. He got 100% of her looks. She could have hatched him,” another added.
“That’s not him in drag?” another joked.
“Her hair is exactly like his. Or the other way around,” said one commenter.
Another added, “The speech patterns, the mannerisms… El Presidente clearly loved his mother.”
“Donald Trump got that exhale sigh when ending sentences from his mother,” wrote another.
“Yep. Surreal,” added one commenter.
Ahead of Mother’s Day in May 2025, Trump spoke about his mom while giving a speech at the White House. “I had a great mother,” he said. “She was such an angel. She could be very tough, I will say. She had her tough moments, some difficult moments. But overall, very, very good. I will tell you, I had a great one.”
In a joint press event with U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer in Scotland last July, Trump talked about his mother’s love for her home country and her adoration of Queen Elizabeth II.
“Whenever the Queen was on television, she wanted to watch,” he said. “And religiously, she’d come back to Scotland once a year, with my sister, Maryanne… they loved this part of the world.”
