I've seen attributed to Jane Goodall in various memes... is almost certainly not Goodall (who studied chimpanzees and not gorillas). The cartoonist wisely omitted the attribution.

Though during the campaign Goodall did say this:

“In many ways the performances of Donald Trump remind me of male chimpanzees and their dominance rituals,” Jane Goodall, the anthropologist, told me shortly before Trump won the GOP nomination. “In order to impress rivals, males seeking to rise in the dominance hierarchy perform spectacular displays: stamping, slapping the ground, dragging branches, throwing rocks. The more vigorous and imaginative the display, the faster the individual is likely to rise in the hierarchy, and the longer he is likely to maintain that position.”
