Donald Trump compares himself to Elvis Presley, says he doesn't want to sound 'very conceited'

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2018/11/26/donald-trump-compares-himself-elvis-presley/2120211002/



President Donald Trump visited the small-yet-historic city of Tupelo, Mississippi, on Monday, and promptly compared himself to its favorite son.

None other than Elvis Presley.

Trump told the crowd at an airport rally that he didn't want to sound "very conceited," but people used to tell him he rather resembled Elvis back when he was younger.

"Other than the blond hair, when I was growing up they said I looked like Elvis," Trump said. "Can you believe it? I always considered that a great compliment."

"We love Elvis, don't we?" Trump also said of the musical icon who was born in a shotgun-style house in Tupelo on Jan. 8, 1935.

That would be about the only comparison. I can't believe he is comparing himself to Elvis. What a conceited little pig! He looks nothing like him and hasn't a shred of talent. God, he is just sickening!

Miss Mississippi? Why is she dressed as if she just came from a beauty pageant? Or is she on her way to a costume ball and just stopped by because she's really into prison reform?

C'mon, you can't just post a picture from Bizarroland without giving us the rest of the story!
