Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Wednesday, June 11, 2025

President Donald Trump has revealed he was a talented musician as a child and excelled at playing the flute. In a wide-ranging interview for the Pod Force One podcast, Trump said he had a gift for music from an early age that he could have been a flutist. "I had flute lessons! This is the first person who's ever asked me that question," he told The New York Post's Miranda Devine. "Can you believe it, I could've been a flutist. I didn't particularly like it, it wasn't for me."

Don't know about Trump's self-proclaimed, i.e. made-up, musical aptitude. However, he is certainly a master at blowing his own horn.

Is Trump telling the story about the one time at band camp when he took a flute and shoved it up his @$$, again?
