Donald Trump is turning heads again — this time for reviving one of his most eyebrow-raising claims yet: that he looks just like Elvis Presley.
During a headline-grabbing visit to Graceland in Memphis on March 23, the president leaned into the comparison that critics say borders on bizarre, reigniting years of speculation about his fascination with the King of Rock and Roll.
For Trump, though, it’s not a joke.
For years, he’s insisted the resemblance is real.
“For so many years people have been saying that Elvis and I look alike,” Trump wrote in a now-viral post back in 2024, sharing a side-by-side image of himself and the legendary singer. “What do you think?”
Online reactions were brutal.
“Not even close,” one critic fired back. Another mocked, “Make delusions great again,” as the internet lit up over the claim.
But Trump has been making the comparison long before social media piled on.
At a 2018 rally in Tupelo — Elvis’ hometown — Trump told supporters he’d heard the same thing growing up.
“I shouldn’t say this… you’ll say I’m conceited,” he said. “But other than the blonde hair, when I was young, they said I looked like Elvis.”
He added with a grin: “I took it as a great compliment.”
Now, years later, Trump appears more captivated than ever.
Inside Graceland, the president toured Elvis’ iconic home, pausing in the famous Jungle Room where he learned about the singer’s interest in martial arts. That’s when things took another unexpected turn.
“Was he really good?” Trump reportedly asked — before joking, “Could I have taken him in a fight?”
The comment raised eyebrows among aides and onlookers alike.
Elsewhere on the tour, Trump signed a replica of Elvis’ guitar, admired the late star’s gold-plated phone, and praised his catalog — revealing his favorite track is “Hurt.”
“He’s got so many hits. There’s very few I don’t like,” Trump said. “He did nothing bad.”
The visit also put Trump in rare company. He became only the second sitting president to tour Graceland, following George W. Bush’s visit years earlier.
But even in honoring Elvis, Trump couldn’t resist bringing the spotlight back to himself.
During a previous tribute, he suggested his Mar-a-Lago estate could one day rival Graceland as a tourist destination — a comment that sparked backlash from fans of the music icon.
Still, Trump doubled down on his admiration.
“I’m a big fan of Elvis,” he said. “Who isn’t?”
Nearly five decades after his death, Elvis Presley remains one of the most influential figures in American culture — with movies, documentaries, and endless debate still shaping his legacy.
But Trump’s ongoing comparison to the King may be one of the more unexpected chapters in that story.
And if the president is serious about the resemblance?
Let’s just say… not everyone is buying it.
