I know this is satire because there is no way Trump has any musical talent.

[-] henfredemars@infosec.pub 24 points 2 months ago

It would also require effort and a degree of hand-eye coordination not typical for those in his age group with his degree of mental deterioration.

For a lot of geriatric musicians, playing is basically muscle memory.

That also takes dedicating a good chunk of time to practice.

Many elderly people don't have a lot to do with their time, so that seems like a good thing

[-] luciferofastora@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 months ago

...contingent on having built that memory from years of practice. I don't know if there's any instrument I can imagine Trump playing, aside from tooting his own horn even when there's nothing to toot about.

Honestly, if this ever really happened it would be one thing that actually might make me want to see such a rally.

[-] just_another_person@lemmy.world 21 points 2 months ago

Jokes on you, Onion, because that is very clearly a Vibraphone and not a Glockenspiel. DEUUUUHHHHHHHH

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Glockenspiel is a much funnier word, though 😁

[-] chuckleslord@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Me, a true musician, they're all just sound sticks you hit. Unlike rain sticks (sound sticks you flip) and drum sticks (sound sticks to hit with)

Came for the headline, stayed for the picture, and really enjoyed the article. Well done The Onion.

[-] Synthuir@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 months ago

You should really look into their print edition that they just relaunched, then! Really cheap and a great way to support the new ownership.

[-] thejml@lemm.ee 14 points 2 months ago

And I’m sure it was the Best glockenspiel performance ever. Professional musicians have likely told him they’ve never heard anything as great.

I really hate this timeline. We are at a point now where I thought this was legit

[-] lulztard@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Oh. It's the onion. Didn't realize until well after deep into comments.

[-] morphballganon@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

He could always play classical... though that might cause his followers to grow some brain cells and leave.

[-] Phegan@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

I've never understood why classic is "smart people music".

I like a lot of classic music, but I don't think it should be considered any more cultured or intellectual than any other music.

[-] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

And he's a damned virtuoso.

A true idiot

If only there weren't Republican musicians ...

[-] huquad@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 months ago

Feeling hot hot hot!

[-] BigMacHole@lemm.ee 3 points 2 months ago

I'm a Republican who Does His Own Research and The Onion is LIBRUL PROPAGANDA! WAKE UP Sheeple! Kid Rock would GLADLY play at Trump's Rally! The Onion is the DEEP STATE!
