Though some thought they could see the resemblance.

Even during his days as a lowly real estate billionaire and reality TV star Donald Trump was known for making some pretty ridiculous claims.

As President though they have only gotten better, including the latest one which might be his best yet.


On Monday the President joined voters in Tupelo, Mississippi—birthplace of Elvis Presley—ahead of the runoff election between incumbent Republican Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith and Democratic challenger Mike Espy.

In typical Trump fashion the President briefly mentioned the rock and roll icon before he began talking about himself, sharing that when he was younger people told him he looked like Elvis.

It was a pretty bold statement even for Trump, but the Tupelo crowd reacted far more generously than the internet.


"Tupelo, home of thousands of hard-working American patriots, and the proud birthplace of the king of rock n' roll, Elvis. Elvis! We love Elvis," Trump began as he addressed the crowd.

"I shouldn't say this, you'll say I'm very conceited because I'm not but other than the blonde hair, when I was growing up they said I looked like Elvis. Can you believe it? I always considered that a great compliment."

The statement drew a mild cheer from the crowd, but folks on the internet were far less forgiving.

Before the internet could actually responded to Trump's latest claim most people needed a minute to catch their breath.






Once people regained their composure their first question was who exactly told Trump he looked like Elvis?





Although some admitted they did notice a bit of a resemblance.






Others however just didn't see it.






Sadly for Trump, not many people seemed to agree he looked like Elvis, but hopefully in the coming days the President can still enjoy all the hits from the king of rock and roll.

Robert Downey Jr. Reveals Gwyneth Paltrow Had No Clue Who Tom Holland Was Despite Starring In Several Movies With Him

It’s been nearly six years since Gwyneth Paltrow last suited up as Pepper Potts in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, yet according to Robert Downey Jr., she still struggles to tell certain Avengers apart.

Downey Jr. roasted his longtime co-star in spectacular fashion while presenting her with The Hollywood Reporter’s Sherry Lansing Leadership Award, a moment that played less like a formal tribute and more like Tony Stark gently ribbing Pepper for forgetting who Spider-Man is.

California Governor Gavin Newsom mocked President Donald Trump by riffing off the presidential "Walk of Fame" Trump unveiled in the White House back in September, gifting us the "Presidential Walk of Fatigue" instead.

In September, Trump's assistant Margo Martin shared a video of a hallway filled with the portraits of former U.S. presidents. Martin announced that "The Presidential Walk of Fame has arrived on the West Wing Colonnade," and the video she shared pans over multiple portraits of former presidents before lingering on an image of Biden's autopen signature.

Samantha Fulnecky, the University of Oklahoma student who received a zero on a psychology essay about gender after using the Bible as her only source, was honored by the Oklahoma House of Representatives with a special "Citation of Recognition" this week after her complaint—which resulted in a transgender graduate student being placed on administrative leave—made headlines.

Fulnecky's instructor Mel Curth, a transgender woman, assigned her students a 650-word essay about how gender stereotypes impact societal expectations of individuals. Fulnecky instead wrote about what the Bible says about "traditional gender roles," arguing that to refer to them as "stereotypes" is "demonic."
