That same year, after awarding Elvis the Presidential Medal of Freedom posthumously, the President said he once attended one of the rock and roller’s concerts.
Later in 2024, Trump posted a picture of his face split with Presley’s, writing: ‘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?’
Earlier this year, Trump took a tour of Graceland, Elvis’s estate in Tennessee, where he bizarrely asked a staff member if they thought he could take Elvis in a fight.
The employee said the musician would have let the President win.
Ahead of the tour Trump, who had never personally met Elvis, joked that he considered lying about meeting the ‘King of Rock and Roll.’
Speaking in Memphis, Tennessee, to a group of law enforcement officers and National Guard troops, the President lauded the Memphis Safe Task Force for bringing down crime.
President Donald Trump joked at a Memphis Safe Task Force event before visiting Graceland in March that he should ‘fib’ about meeting the rock and roller despite the pair never crossing paths. He is pictured in the ‘jungle room’ at Graceland

During the remarks, Trump shared he was due to visit Graceland, the estate of the late rock and roll star, that day.
‘I’m going to see Graceland after this,’ Trump said. ‘I love Elvis. I never met Elvis. Everyone said, ‘Did you?’
‘I met [Frank] Sinatra. I knew all of them. I never met Elvis. Sometimes I feel I should tell little fibs that I knew him,’ Trump continued.
Trump campaign events have typically featured some of Presley’s most iconic songs, including ‘Suspicious Minds,’ ‘If I Can Dream,’ and ‘An American Trilogy.’
Trump’s post about the concert was one of many he made on Saturday, including praising New York Giants player Jaxson Dart, who recently introduced the President at a rally.
‘Thank you Jaxson! It was great being with you,’ he wrote.
‘I know you’re taking some heat from the Radical Left Lunatics who are jealous of you, me, and everyone who surrounds us, but I also know that your Jersey also went to Number One, and you’re making Millions of Dollars, so YOU ARE A WINNER – THEY ARE ALL LOSERS. I’ll see you in the White House!’
He also posted an AI image of him and New York Governor Kathy Hocheul playing a basketball game, where Trump is wearing a Knicks jersey and dunking on her.
‘PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP vs. Kathy Hochul, New York’s failed Governor who, if people are smart, will vote for Bruce Blakeman – He will, MAKE NEW YORK GREAT AGAIN!’ he wrote.
Trump made several posts on Saturday about various topics
In another sports-theme post, he called Tom Brady a ‘great player and great guy.’
He also posted several images showing children playing outside with the caption: ‘America is back!’
In a separate post, he posted a photo of a trash can where former President Barack Obama’s new Chicago library was supposed to be and a picture of him golfing.
