Some Elvis fans were “shuddered” when former President Donald Trump compared himself to the King.
President Joe Biden on Saturday characterized the 2024 presidential race as the “weirdest campaign” he has ever been a part of. President Trump asked his followers on social media if they agreed that he looked like Elvis Presley.
In a Truth social post on Saturday, President Trump shared a photo of half his face alongside half of Presley’s face, writing, “For years, people have been saying that Elvis and I look alike. Now this photo is going around everywhere. What do you think?”
It’s unclear what prompted President Trump to share this bizarre mashup image, with many social media users asking the former president, “Are you feeling lonely tonight?”
While few justified Mr. Trump’s belief that he resembled Presley, many posted photos with half his face edited out alongside Adolf Hitler, Vladimir Putin, and Uma Loompa. and immediately laughed at him.
“Trump says he looks like Elvis. Hopefully he’ll do Jailhouse Rock soon. #TrumpIsNotWell,” one social media user wrote. I wrote it to X.
An account called “Republicans Against Trump” shared the post alongside the Mayo Clinic’s definition of narcissistic personality disorder.
Democratic strategist Johnny Palmadessa wrote that Trump is “clearly suffering from dementia,” speaks as if former President Barack Obama is still in office, and talks with Republican candidate Nikki Haley. He cited a number of mistakes Trump made during his campaign, including confusing former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. .
“He says he ‘won’ the New York fraud trial, but the trial is over. he lost. He only compared himself to Elvis because he believes Elvis “looks alike.” Donald Trump needs to withdraw from the race. He needs to get help,” he wrote.
Former MSNBC host Keith Olbermann had a similar reaction, saying, “J. Trump, who has dementia, is now trying to convince his cult followers that he somehow resembles Elvis Presley.” Does that mean he’s been brain dead since 1977? I bet!”
another X user “If you think Trump looks like Elvis, you shouldn’t go to a bar that’s about to close,” he joked.
The 77-year-old former president’s bizarre social media posts followed comments Biden made on Saturday about his opponent’s erratic behavior.
“I’m happy with where things are. I really am,” Biden said in a speech in Wilmington, Delaware, near his family home. According to The Hill. “You know, people are starting to look at the guy we’re playing against, and he’s not for anything, he’s against everything.”
“No, I want to be serious, this is the strangest campaign I’ve ever been a part of, and it’s even worse than the last one in 2020 in terms of his behavior,” he added. .
Biden won the South Carolina Democratic primary on Saturday.
The Palmetto State Republican primary will not be held until February 24, when Trump will face former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley.
Opinion polls in the country currently show Trump leading Haley by 26%.
