But there was more. Monopoly wasn’t even the top game. Mary revealed that young Donald had a particular passion for building blocks.
“But, more than Monopoly, he played with building blocks,” she added. “Always with building blocks.”
It’s hard not to see the foreshadowing — a future real estate mogul and builder who started off stacking blocks and playing Monopoly, learning both construction and resource management. One might say Trump’s childhood games laid the groundwork for his later ventures — quite literally.
Mom’s Special Touch
Mary Trump didn’t just reminisce about her son’s gaming habits; she also spoke warmly of their mother-son relationship despite the whirlwind life Trump would later lead.
“He comes very often,” she noted. “At least once a week. He comes for dinner. He likes his mother’s cooking.”
Imagine that — amid business deals and headlines, Trump still made time to visit mom for a homemade meal. Perhaps it’s true that no matter how big you get, there’s nothing like your mother’s cooking.
A Touch of Humor: What Were the Democrats Playing?
While Trump’s childhood hobbies made sense — business games and building things — one can’t help but wonder what games some of the Democrats might have played in their youth.
Maybe Joe Biden played Lincoln Logs, back when the Lincoln family was actually still building log cabins. Or perhaps he enjoyed Illegal Alien Candy Land, where crossing the border means instant victory and unlimited candy — ice cream optional.
And who could forget Duck, Duck, Corn Pop? You never know when Corn Pop will show up — but you better have that chain ready. No joke, folks.
As for AOC, it would likely be Sim City — but only with unlimited money cheat codes and the police department permanently defunded. After all, building blocks and Monopoly require a bit of real-world responsibility — something the self-proclaimed socialist congresswoman might not fully embrace.
Then there’s Bill Clinton’s game of choice: Intern Hide-and-Seek. You can guess the rest.
And what about Hillary Clinton? It has to be Pin the Tail on Russia. If something goes wrong, just blame Russia and spin the wheel again.
Kamala Harris would probably wax poetic about the concept of games in general: “I love games. Games are things we play. Games bring joy because they are games. And we must respect all games, because games are joyful.”
Meanwhile, Bernie Sanders would surely choose Grand Theft Everything — because nothing says socialism like redistributing resources without consent.
Lastly, Jill Biden might insist that Joe’s favorite game isn’t funny. “This is a brilliant man,” she would declare. “He plays 5D chess against grandmasters — and even when he wins, he lets them win, because that’s the kind of empathetic leader he is.”
And Joe? Well, he might still be stuck on HUT HUT HUT HUT — just like that old Nintendo game soundbite.
A Mother’s Day Tribute
As we celebrate Mother’s Day, it’s worth remembering the little things — like the games we played and the love that guided us. Mary Trump’s recollections give a glimpse into the boy who would one day become president, and the mother who never forgot the joy of seeing her child build something great — even if it was just with building blocks.
Happy Mother’s Day in heaven, Mary Trump. You raised quite a builder.
