Hollywood star reveals strange reason why she wants to talk to Trump about his mother

British star Tilda Swinton has revealed why she is desperate to speak to President-elect Donald Trump about his late mother.

Swinton, an Oscar winner and British Academy Film Award winner, recently spoke to The New York Times about her anti-conservative activism in England, particularly in the ’80s.

The Orlando actress said in particular that there has been a huge “rise in the nastiness of right-wing politics” in recent years, pointing out that “the purveyors of that nastiness were once vulnerable little children.”

“I can tell you, and he might even read this, if I ever met your new president, one thing I would like to talk to him about is having a Scottish mother,” Swinton said boldly.

“This is something I can counter him with.”

When asked why she wanted to talk to Trump, Swinton doubled down on her statement, saying that she was actually more interested in learning about his mother, Mary Anne MacLeod Trump.

Mary Anne was born and raised on the Hebridean island of Lewis and emigrated to New York in 1930 at the age of 18 to seek work as a domestic servant.

In 1936 she married the successful real estate developer Frederick Trump, the son of German immigrants.

In his 1987 book “Trump: The Art of the Deal,” Donald said of his parents: “We had a very traditional family.” “My father was the ruler and the breadwinner, and my mother was the perfect housewife.”

Trump added that his mother took care of him and his siblings, “cooking, cleaning and darning socks and doing charity work at the local hospital.”

When Donald talks about her influence on his life, he credits Mary Anne with passing on the “showmanship” gene.

“She always had a flair for the dramatic and the grand.” She was a very traditional housewife, but also had a flair for the world that went beyond her.

“I remember my mother, a Scottish native, sitting in front of the television watching the coronation of Queen Elizabeth and not moving for a whole day.

“I also remember the day my father was pacing impatiently. “For God’s sake, Mary,” he said. “Enough is enough, turn it off. They’re all a bunch of fraudsters.”

“My mother didn’t even look up. In that sense they were complete opposites. “My mother loves pomp and splendor, while my father, who is very down-to-earth, only inspires competence and efficiency.”

In his book “How to Get Rich,” Donald also attributes his religious values ​​to his mother.

According to Jeffrey Lyons, a political science professor at Boise State University, about three-quarters of children whose parents both belong to the same political party fall on the same end of the right-left spectrum as their parents.

About eight in 10 parents who were Republican or leaned toward the Republican Party (81 percent) had teens who also identified as or leaned toward that party

A Pew Research Center study found that about 35 percent of U.S. parents said it was extremely or very important for their children to grow up and share their religious views.

The study also showed that 70 percent of born-again white or evangelical Protestant parents said it was extremely or very important for their children to hold similar religious beliefs, compared to just 8 percent of non-religious parents.

It also emerged that the vast majority of parents of teenagers have passed on their political loyalties.

About eight in 10 parents who were Republican or leaned toward the Republican Party (81 percent) had teens who also identified as or leaned toward that party.

Similarly, about nine in 10 parents who were Democratic or Democratic-leaning (89 percent) had teenagers who described themselves the same way.
