Trump Really Looks Like His Mum And Much More

 

SHE died in 2000 aged 88, but Donald Trump's mother Mary lives on in video interviews, which show she had much more in common with her son than their bouffant hair.

Beautiful Mary Anne Macleod Trump, an almost penniless Scottish immigrant when she arrived in New York in 1930, recently appeared in old video interviews replayed since Trump’s victory.


The mother of five and loyal wife of Trump’s entrepreneurial father Fred looked like any other pretty, slim brunette in her youth.

But in her later years, her hair took on the same hue as Donald Trump’s and, finally, morphed into an eerily familiar golden blow-dried comb-over.

And the similarities don’t stop there.

While pundits say that Donald Trump has father Fred’s tough attitude to work and business, his mother Mary was, like him, both shrewd and charismatic and had a love of showmanship.
Mary Macleod had just turned 18 years old when she arrived by ship in America with $50 to her name.

The youngest of ten children of a fisherman and crofter, she had grown up in poverty on the isolated Scottish Isle of Lewis, in the Outer Hebrides.
Gaelic was her first language and she learned English at school, where she became the top pupil.
Intending to work as a domestic servant, she and her sister Christina were among the influx of foreign workers with restricted education looking for a better life.

The sisters lived together on Long Island while Mary worked as a nanny for a wealthy family.
Fred Trump, the son of German immigrants, was already a property developer and builder by the time the two met, reportedly at a dance.
