It turns out that Trump doesn’t just blow his own horn – he could have been a ‘flutist’ too
It’s fair to say that Donald Trump isn’t known for his humility, as this compilation video of his constant boasting goes to show.
It must be exhausting to be an expert in everything and it turns out there’s yet another string to his bow. In an interview with a rather sycophantic New York Post reporter, Miranda Devine, Trump discussed his amazing musical talent – and not just for blowing his own trumpet.
Thanks to Republicans Against Trump for sharing on Twitter.
Trump: “They came up to my father, they said, ‘your son is brilliant at music. He can be an incredible musician…I played for very short periods of time, the flute…Can you believe it? I could have been a flutist.”pic.twitter.com/Ty8E0xKgTH

Truly there are no ends to his talent. Let’s have a look at the replies.
1.
He probably was the best baseball player at his high school too right? And the best wrestler and the best cross country runner too? And stu-co pres?
I mean, according to this idiot, he’s the best at everything

Of course he could’ve been a flutist—he’s been blowing hot air for decades.

If he played the flute that he would know that's not the term you use. As usual, he's full of shit.

Chase your dream @realDonaldTrump ! It’s not too late to drop the presidency and become a flutist.
I bet no one is better at playing the flute than you!— Antverpia (@MisterAntwerp) June 12, 2025

Trump’s “flutist” flex is peak Emmy-worthy fiction. Next he’ll claim he invented the saxophone while building the pyramids.

Give me a fucking break. This isn't about music it's about his insatiable need to rewrite history to fit his ego. The only thing he's mastered is grifting and gaslighting.

I wished I lived in that alternative universe where Trump was merely an obnoxiously ignorant flutist. https://t.co/pR5iXe8ZYv

For some reason it reminds of an interview of Boris Johnson. When asked what he did for a hobby he replied he liked painting wooden crates so they looked like London busses. https://t.co/rY2MOTwevt

It answers one question.
“I could have been a flutist.” Trump brags about how brilliant he is with music. I guess that explains his love for “YMCA”. pic.twitter.com/AcMX7b1s9A
