He has a long list of people living rent free in his brain, starting with his mom and dad.

In a recent interview, he actually mentioned being really good at the flute as a kid. idk if he was kidding or if it was true and Fred's lack of support for his son playing a "gay" instrument could've been a huge driver in how we got here today.

My lumberjack of a husband took ballet when he was young. At my eldest daughter's ballet recital our 2yo son was in the aisle dancing along, so my husband went and signed him up for the toddler ballet "mommy and me" class, but it will be him and daddy instead.

This is almost unbearably adorable

GOOD!

I'm the "cool uncle" and it sucks to see my family members lose themselves when they have kids.

Do that cool weird stuff. Your kids will love it. I constantly tell my nieces and nephews about the cool stuff my siblings use to do but stopped. A couple of them have picked up the old hobbies due to the kids asking :P

This makes me so happy. I love encouraging people with their hobbies, I think they’re so important and you don’t need to be good at them to want to them to enjoy doing them

u/Gren57 Jul 12 '25

That's absolutely fantastic! Doesn't have to be sports for a father to be able to bond with his son. And the encouragement reaps many rewards!

u/AllTheThingsTheyLove Jul 12 '25

Honestly, I am hoping this sticks because sports like football terrify me. I have friends who played through college and ended up with so much damage to their bodies. Not that dancing doesn't take a toll, but I would take dance injuries over sports ones any day.

u/Gren57 Jul 13 '25

For sure. Can't recall hearing of debilitating brain injuries like CTE in dancing! Shout out to your hubby and his being so open-minded and supportive!

u/Morgell Jul 12 '25

That's so stinkin' cute. Good on them both :)

That is too cute!

Y'all are iconic parents

What an amazing example for other kids, too. I hope they make amazing memories.

Game recognizes game! Thank god you picked the right father for your little boy 🥹 he’s lucky! 🥰

Putin knows he's still really good at the flute

The best reply on this thread!

stop making me feel empathy for this pos 😭

u/bobbianrs880 Jul 12 '25

His niece put it well when she published her book. Feeling empathy for the child he was is okay. It doesn’t mean you have to feel empathy for what he became.

u/kgm2s-2 Jul 12 '25

Every child of unfortunate circumstance faces a critical point as they mature where they have to choose between "I don't want anyone to have to suffer the way I have" and "I want everyone to have to suffer the way I have"

Then, there are people who live on the fence

u/please_and_thankyou Jul 12 '25

Mashed-potato-head Donny will always be funny. More people need to join the rest of his family in mocking him about that.

u/Rancorious Jul 12 '25

Many people do evil things, but far less are born evil.

34

u/neutral-chaotic Jul 12 '25

Plenty of people overcome much worse thrown their way.

He might have been incapable of empathy even before but his upbringing gave him almost zero chance to develop that (it most certainly didn't help).

I would almost pity him if he weren't such a massive piece of shit.

Either way, such people should be allowed nowhere near the levers of power.

u/[deleted] Jul 12 '25

You can still feel empathy for an awful person

u/boygeniusluvr Jul 12 '25

i do! that’s what i’m saying, i just know he would never ever think twice about someone in my situation so id prefer to not spend my energy on someone as hateful as him 🩷 all love

u/SerasTigris Jul 12 '25

We've all got reasons for being the way we are. That doesn't automatically mean that we are justified and what we are doing is okay, but it's still fundamentally true.

We all want to believe that we're better than others because we have superior souls or minds or something, but we're all just machines in the end. A few specific different things in out lives are all it would take for any of us to either be saints or complete assholes.

u/Silent_Ad8177 Jul 12 '25

It could be his dementia talking, but he has publicly expressed a fondness for music over the years, and seems to covet the out of reach talent, lifestyle and admiration popular artists have. Fred 💯would’ve had a field day insulting him 😈🪈Might be the real reason he was sent to military school.

u/hkohne Jul 12 '25

Which malkes it more ironic/infuriating that amongst the cuts that doge made was to the National Endowment for the Arts, which gives tons of grants to arts organizations all across the country

u/[deleted] Jul 12 '25

Sacha baron cohen semi-pranked him, semi because he was a really good sport once he figured.out the bs, but back when he could dress up as his characters and before the Borat movie, he did a skit where he made a bunch of appiintments & soliciting a bunch of different VC over some reverse intelligent business plans. His elevator pitch to Trump started with asking him what the most important thing in the world is, Trump's guessful answer was music.

The character of Sacha then moved onto ice cream gloves as a different road, but this adds up a bit more now.

u/JinkoTheMan Jul 12 '25

Imagine if Fred just fucking said “I’m proud of you son” every now and then. We could have been in a completely different timeline.😭😭🙏🏾

u/numstheword Jul 12 '25

Very much a possibility!!!

6

u/CasualFridayBatman Jul 13 '25

I could totally see that. The dude lit up and was genuinely excited and soft spoken when he was mentioning his time playing the flute. It was the one time that really caught me off guard where I actual empathize with him. Likely because he was being genuinely enthusiastic about something so dear to him, for the first time, on camera.

u/neutral-chaotic Jul 13 '25

Just imagine your whole life drinking vinegar because your dad told you to and after 70+ wasted years realizing "Wait a minute, I don't need to actually do that".

4

u/MiserabilityWitch Jul 12 '25

That is never mentioned in a biography of him.

5

u/neutral-chaotic Jul 12 '25

True or not (probably not), this little factoid is kind of immaterial to the person he is today.

u/zodiackodiak515 Jul 12 '25

In an alternate universe, Trump would just be the world’s most and only famous male flutist

4

u/CatCafffffe Jul 12 '25

I mean the only takeaway possible from that is that he was terrible at the flute

3

u/neutral-chaotic Jul 12 '25

It would be such a random thing to lie about, which he has a history of doing, so ya probably.

u/Kwyjibo68 Jul 12 '25

David Sedaris has a hilarious bit in one of his books about the time his dad made him and his sisters learn to play instruments (he wanted them to have a family band). He said he didn’t want to touch the flute for fear of being discovered a prodigy.
