WASHINGTON (WCMH) — President Donald Trump recorded a special video for Mother’s Day, and sent it out on his favorite social media platform.
“My fellow Americans: this Sunday is one of the most important days of the year — Mother’s Day,” the president said in a video posted to Twitter. . “It’s a special opportunity to thank all of the mothers and grandmothers in our lives.
“Since the earliest days of our republic, America’s strength has come from the love and courage and devotion of our mothers. They helped us gain our independence through their grit, determination, and incredible spirit. They pioneered the west and settled the frontier.
“During World War Two America’s mothers helped build the greatest arsenal for democracy. My mother was a great person. Her name was Mary McLeod. She came from Scotland and she met my father when she was very young. They were married for many many years.
I learned so much from my mother. She was just incredible–warm, loving, really smart, could be tough, if she had to be. But basically she was a really nice person. So much of what I’ve done and so much of what I’ve become is because of my mother. I miss her a lot. So I say this to you as I think about my mother — Happy Mother’s Day and God bless the United States of America.”
