Trump looks just like Elvis. Really.

For some reason I can't post links, but I did read his statement. He claimed that he and Elvis, other than hair color - could be twins. Really. And yet another layer of insanity.

At least I can't see the resemblance! But maybe it's just me . . .

I mean....



TBF there is now a lot of speculation that Elvis suffered some sort of condition near the end of his life that caused him a lot of pain and caused him to binge eat.

So I feel a bit mean comparing him to someone who just can't stop eating Micky Dee's.

Oh, I se several similarities; let me see, they both seem to have:

Two eyes, check.
One nose, check.
One mouth, check.
One toupee, check.

You got me a fat Elvis!

Well, Trump does look like he's been made up by a mortician for a viewing so they have that much in common.

Well if you squint a bit, he does look like Fr. Jack Hackett.

He looks a little like Elvis in Mme Tussaud's wax museum with the air conditioning on the fritz.

Given someone aligned the faces—lips, nose, chin, etc—no wonder they look similar. Bet Trump liked that photo-shopper 'a lot'.

I think it comes from the self-learned idea that leaning forward makes you appear more powerful. It's the same reason that he would jerk and pull anyone's hand he shook, sometimes almost pulling them off balance.

On his best day Trump only looks half as good as the contents of the toilet Elvis died upon.
