Former President Donald Trump shocked everyone over the weekend when he took to his Truth Social platform to ask if he looked like the late singer Elvis Presley.
Trump compares himself to Elvis
The Daily Mail reported that Trump posted a photo that showed his face and Elvis' face blended together to form one face.
“For many years people have said that Elvis and I look alike,” Trump wrote. “Now this picture is everywhere. What do you think?”
Social media users were quick to respond to Trump's post, which immediately went viral.
“Have you ever seen Trump and Elvis in the same place at the same time?” “This is the kind of bullshit post I want to see from my boss,” one user asked, and another added.
A third user wrote: “Elvis will vote for Trump.” A fourth person added: “As if Trump were going to be president again.”

But others took this opportunity to attack Trump.
“Narcissistic personality disorder is a mental health condition in which people have an unreasonably high sense of their own importance,” one person wrote.
“They need and seek a lot of attention and want people to like them,” the user added. “People with this disorder may lack the ability to understand or care about the feelings of others,” the non-veiled comment continued. But behind this mask of overconfidence, they are unsure of their self-worth and are easily upset by the slightest criticism.
“It's clear that Donald Trump is suffering from dementia,” Democratic strategist Johnny Palmadessa said. He repeatedly forgets that Barack Obama is still president. “He thinks Nikki Haley was Speaker of the House instead of Nancy Pelosi.”
He continued: “He says he won the fraud trial in New York, but the trial ended,” even though a verdict was not issued in this case. “[Trump] He has compared himself to Elvis because he thinks they are “similar” – [he] He needs to withdraw from the race. “He needs to ask for help.”

Trump previously compared himself to Elvis during an event held in the late singer's hometown of Tupelo, Mississippi.
“I shouldn't say that,” Trump said. “You're going to say I'm too arrogant, because I'm not.” “But other than the blonde hair, when I was growing up, they said I looked like Elvis.”
Last year, Trump compared himself to Leonardo da Vecchi's 16th-century masterpiece, the Mona Lisa.
“There are people who go to the Mona Lisa — they love the Mona Lisa and they will see it hundreds and hundreds of times, and it gets better every time,” Trump said.
This comes as President Joe Biden attempts to denounce Trump's alleged wrongful behavior.
“I feel good about where we are, I really am,” Biden said during a speech in Delaware on Saturday, according to The Hill. “You know, people are starting to focus on the guy we're competing against, he's not for anything, he's against everything.”
He added: “No, I mean it, it's the strangest campaign I've ever been involved in, and it's even worse in terms of his behavior than the last time in 2020.”
