“I shouldn’t say this — you’re going to say I’m conceited because I’m not — but, besides the blond hair, when I was growing up, they said I looked like Elvis,” Trump said. “I always thought that was a great compliment. We loved Elvis. In fact, we just awarded Elvis the Medal of Freedom at the White House.”

“I love Elvis. I’ve never met Elvis. Everybody’s like, ‘Really?'” Trump said. “I met Sinatra. I knew them all. I never met Elvis. Sometimes I feel like I should tell a little lie and say I knew him.”

When he entered Graceland, he told reporters that this was his first time in Graceland.
