Who knew? President Donald Trump, known for his real estate empire and political career, recently revealed a surprising hidden talent: a potential for music! In a new interview, he shared that an aptitude test from his youth deemed him "brilliant" at music, suggesting he "could have been an incredible musician."
Speaking on a new podcast, the 47th President recounted how, as an 11 or 12-year-old, his parents sent him for a days-long aptitude test. The results? He was supposedly "brilliant at music" and set to be an "incredible musician." This news, however, reportedly didn't thrill his father, Fred. Still, Trump insists, "I do have an ear for music... People like the music I play."
He even recalled a test where he had to identify a piano note an hour after hearing it. "I’d get it right, I guess," he said, claiming to remember it "to this day."
Despite his father's reaction, young Donald did have a brief stint with an instrument. "I had flute lessons. Can you believe it? I could have been a flutist," he remarked, noting his mother organized them for "very short periods." His flute flirtation was fleeting, though: "I didn’t particularly like it, and it wasn’t for me," he concluded, calling it an "unusual instrument."
A fascinating glimpse into a road not taken for the President!
