Trump: ‘I Looked Like Elvis’ When I Was Younger
“I shouldn’t say this. You’ll say I'm conceited,” Trump told supporters.

President Trump now claims he looked like the King of Rock ’n’ Roll when he was younger. At a Mississippi rally Monday evening, he said: “I shouldn’t say this. You’ll say I'm ’cause I'm not—but other than the blond hair, when I was growing up they said I looked like Elvis,” Trump told a crowd in Tupelo, Elvis Presley’s hometown. “Can you see that? Can you believe it? I always considered that a great compliment.” The president also added that Presley was recently honored at a Presidential Medal of Freedom ceremony this month. “We love Elvis, don’t we?” Trump told a cheering crowd. Trump was in Mississippi to campaign for Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-MS), who is running against Democrat Mike Epsy in a Tuesday runoff election.
