Mary Anne MacLeod Trump (Scottish Gaelic: Màiri Anna NicLeòid; May 10, 1912 – August 7, 2000) was the Scottish-born American mother of the 45th President of the United States, Donald Trump.
Mary Anne MacLeod was born in the village of Tong, on Lewis in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland, United Kingdom, in a croft called "5 Tong" (owned by her father since 1895). She was the youngest of 10 children born to Malcolm MacLeod (1866–1954) and Mary MacLeod (née Smith) (1867–1963). Her paternal grandparents were Alexander MacLeod and Ann MacLeod and maternal grandparents were Donald Smith and Mary MacAulay.
She was raised in a Scottish Gaelic-speaking household with her second language being English, which she learned at Tong school where it was reported she was a star pupil. Her father was a crofter, fisherman and compulsory officer (truancy officer).
According to the Scottish newspaper The National, Mary Anne MacLeod was issued immigration visa number 26698 at Glasgow on February 17, 1930. On May 2, 1930, MacLeod departed Glasgow on board the RMS Transylvania arriving in New York City on May 11, 1930—one day after her 18th birthday, declaring she intended to become a U.S. citizen and would be staying permanently in America.
Arriving in America with just $50, MacLeod lived with her older sister Christina Matheson on Long Island and worked as a domestic servant for at least four years. The 1930 United States Census lists her occupation as maid or domestic.
