A meme shows an alleged quote that Mary Anne MacLeod Trump said about her son Donald.
Alleged quote from Donald Trump's mother - The most important thing to start with:
- A meme is currently being shared that shows a quote that Donald Trump's mother supposedly said about him.
- She is said to have said that Donald Trump “was an idiot with zero common sense and no social skills, but he was her son. She just hopes he never goes into politics. He would be a catastrophe."
- The quote is made up. There is no evidence to support this statement.
The meme looks like this and shows Mary Anne MacLeod Trump with Donald Trump and the alleged quote:

Yes, he's an idiot with zero common sense, and no social skills, but he IS my son.
I just hope he never goes into politics. He'd be a disaster. –Mary Anne Trump
The fact check
No, US President Donald Trump's mother did n't say that!
As our colleagues at Snopes write, it is a fake that has been circulating since December 2019. There is no evidence of where or when Mary Anne MacLeod Trump allegedly made this remark.

The quote cannot be found in newspaper archives, books, magazines or interviews. Donald Trump's mother died in 2000 - if she had actually described her son as an "idiot" who "hopefully will never go into politics", this quote would probably have appeared in the news in some form shortly after long during his 2016 presidential campaign .
The only possibility left is that the creator of this meme confused the sister with the mother: No, that can be ruled out. There is also no quote about Maryanne Trump that could be linked to what was said above.
Conclusion:
The quote is made up and only appears as a meme.
There is no evidence that either Donald Trump's mother or sister said that about him.
