Yes. Based on our review, Donald Trump really did publish a Mother’s Day message in 2023 referring to “Radical Left Fascists, Marxists, and Communists.” The post was shared on his Truth Social account and is authentic.
The message has resurfaced online multiple times, with some users believing it was fabricated or altered because of its unusual wording. However, archived screenshots and contemporaneous reporting confirm the post was genuine.
What We Found
We reviewed archived copies of the Truth Social post, media coverage published at the time, and preserved screenshots shared across multiple platforms.
The Mother’s Day message read in part:
“Happy Mother’s Day to ALL…”
Trump then specifically mentioned:
- “Mothers, Wives and Lovers”
- “Radical Left Fascists”
- “Marxists”
- “Communists”
The post also referred to political opponents as “Lunatics and Maniacs.”
Multiple outlets captured and reported the statement shortly after it was published in May 2023.
Was The Post Edited or Fabricated?
We found no credible evidence suggesting the screenshot was manipulated.
The wording matched archived reports from the time, and identical text appeared across multiple independent captures of the original Truth Social post. The phrasing also aligns with Trump’s long-established style of political messaging and his repeated use of terms like:
- “Radical Left”
- “Marxists”
- “Communists”
- “Fascists”
Why The Claim Went Viral Again
The post periodically resurfaces around Mother’s Day because many users initially assume it is satire or a fake quote. Trump has frequently used holiday messages to criticize political opponents, which has contributed to renewed sharing of the 2023 statement.
Recent discussions online also revived interest in the old post after new Mother’s Day remarks and political speeches from Trump circulated in 2026.
Verdict
The claim is true. Donald Trump did post a Mother’s Day message in 2023 mentioning “Radical Left Fascists, Marxists, and Communists.” Our review found the post originated from his official Truth Social account and was accurately quoted in viral screenshots and news coverage.
