Before her death, Jane Goodall shared her true feelings about Donald Trump
Sadly, during a stop on her speaking tour across California, the legendary British scientist died of natural causes, the Jane Goodall Institute announced Wednesday,
“The Jane Goodall Institute has learned this morning, Wednesday, October 1, 2025, that Dr. Jane Goodall DBE, UN Messenger of Peace and Founder of the Jane Goodall Institute, has passed away due to natural causes,” the organization wrote on Instagram.
Jane Goodall has been outspoken about many subjects throughout her life, and in recent years, one of those subjects has been the President of the United States, Donald Trump. However, the statements she’s made about him have not been that charming.
For example, in 2016, during Donald’s first presidential campaign, Goodall drew a comparison between him and the monkeys she had studied, saying, “In many ways the performances of Donald Trump remind me of male chimpanzees and their dominance rituals.”
