President Donald Trump revealed he has a musical side that could have led him away from a life of politics and real estate a towards playing the Flute.

According to a report on Mediaite, Trump told Miranda Devine on the ā€œPod Force Oneā€ podcast that he was told he was ā€œbrilliant at musicā€ after he took an aptitude test at age 11 or 12.

The test revealed his natural ability in music, much to the chagrin of his father, Fred Trump.

ā€œThey came up to my father, they said, ā€˜your son is brilliant at music. He can be an incredible musician.’ This is not what my father wanted to hear. You know, this was not the greatest thing ever,ā€ Trump said.

The president continued he has an ā€œearā€ for music.

He then revealed the Flute was his instrument of choice — at least for a moment.

ā€œI played for very short periods of time, the Flute. Can you believe that? I had Flute lessons. You’re the first person that’s ever asked me that crazy question,ā€ Trump said. ā€œCan you believe it? I could have been a flutist. And I didn’t particularly like it. It wasn’t for me.ā€

When Devine suggested Trump could still play the woodwind instrument, Trump said it was not likely.

ā€œI doubt it,ā€ Trump said. ā€œI don’t think so.ā€
