On Saturday, former Republican President Donald Trump took to Truth Social and Instagram to ask his followers to weigh in on an important issue.

Does Trump look like the late King of Rock 'n Roll Elvis Presley?

Democratic President Joe Biden didn't weigh in on Trump's question, but Biden did say Saturday that the 2024 presidential race was "the weirdest campaign I’ve ever been engaged in" and that Trump’s behavior and rhetoric was "even worse" than in 2020.

Trump posted a split photo of himself and Elvis on both social media platforms with the caption:

"For so many years people have been saying that Elvis and I look alike."
"Now this pic has been going all over the place."
"What do you think?"

Trump's reception on Instagram was very different than the fawning adoration he's used to on Truth Social—the platform Trump himself founded.

On X—once the post migrated there—people were equally concerned, amused, and dismissive of Trump’s latest claim.

Meidas Touch co-founder Ben Meiselas offered a laundry list of reasons for voters to be concerned about Trump.

Trump previously claimed "many people" favorably compare him to George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and Nelson Mandela due to his supposed political prowess.

Trump also drew a comparison between himself and Leonardo da Vinci's 16th-century masterpiece, the Mona Lisa.

Speaking on Welsh TV channel S4C in June of 2023, Trump said:

"You have people that go to the Mona Lisa—they love the Mona Lisa and they’ll see it hundreds and hundreds of times and it gets better each time."
"You have people that follow the rock bands and they listen to the same songs over and over and over."

After referencing Broadway performances people watch again and again, Trump added:

"It’s basically the same 20 subjects that [I'm] talking about..."
"I can’t just make new things up because I wanna make a speech. I can tell them in different ways and I do sometimes do that—a lot of times."

In a rare moment of self-awareness, even Trump acknowledged he brings nothing new to the campaign in 2024. It's all the same regurgitated White Christian nationalist rhetoric from 2016 and 2020.

"But they just want to hear it again and again."

Teacher Stunned After Student Argues That People Shouldn't Have To 'Think Anymore' Thanks To ChatGPT

There's no doubt that ChatGPT and similar tools are growing in relevance and application, and they're growing fast. The problem is that many people, especially younger individuals, seem to struggle with how much they should depend on the tools.

We already knew that ChatGPT could be a problem regarding critical thinking and creativity, so maybe we should have anticipated the mindsets that would develop, snubbing independent thinking when tools like ChatGPT are available.

Video Of Crows Ripping Out Animatronic Rapunzel's Hair At Tokyo DisneySea Goes Viral—And Yikes!

Disney princesses are usually known for their whimsical singing and befriending creatures from all across the animal kingdom, but Princess Rapunzel at Tokyo DisneySea may have misunderstood the assignment.

Earlier this week, Rapunzel was caught on video at DisneySea in Tokyo, but she didn't go viral for her cheery demeanor or her singing voice, which passers-by can hear from the base of her elegant tower. Rather, it was a pair of intruders who put her in the spotlight.

Bald Men Are Up In Arms Over Viral Chart That Predicts Political Affiliation Based On A Man's Haircut

Can a man's haircut tell you his political affiliation? Scientifically, of course not... but we probably all have a gut feeling about it, regardless!

And a TikToker has followed that lead by developing a chart that predicts a man's political persuasion based on his hair alone—and bald men are NOT happy about it.

Republicans Slammed For Soulless One-Word Response To Democrats' Trans Day Of Visibility Tweet

According to research by the Williams Institute at UCLA School of Law, transgender people in the United States were over four times more likely than cisgender people to be victims of violent crime based on statistics from 2017-2018. A study by the non-profit Everytown for Gun Safety found the number of trans people murdered in the U.S. nearly doubled between 2017and 2021.

In the last 5–9 years, those figures have only increased as the Republican Party has made trans people the target of many of their political campaigns and legislative actions.

Pete Hegseth Slammed After Calling Off Investigation Into Army Helicopter Fly-By At Kid Rock's House

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was criticized for calling off the U.S. Army's investigation after MAGA musician Kid Rock posted a video of an Army Apache helicopter doing a fly-by at his Nashville home.

The video shows Kid Rock saluting as the aircraft hovers near his property, standing next to a replica Statue of Liberty by his pool. In the brief clip, a helicopter that appears to be an AH-64 Apache—an attack helicopter used by the U.S. Army and National Guard—flies at low altitude near his estate in Whites Creek.
