He’s also compared himself to the Mona Lisa for his ability to draw large, fawning crowds.
President Joe Biden on Saturday said the 2024 presidential race was “the weirdest campaign I’ve ever been engaged in” because of his rival Donald Trump’s behavior, which he said was “even worse” than in 2020.
The former president, meanwhile, fished for compliments on Truth Social by comparing himself to Elvis.
“For so many years people have been saying that Elvis and I look alike,” Trump wrote, adding a photo that included his face spliced with the late rocker’s. “What do you think?”
Trump is no stranger to humbly likening himself to cultural icons; he’s also compared himself to George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and Nelson Mandela as far as his political career is concerned. Aesthetically, he’s also compared himself to the priceless Mona Lisa painting because it inspires such devotion.
Hasn’t that been the strategy for several decades?
Looking at you, Bush
Ah yes the man elected because people wanted to “have a beer with him.”
He felt like a common man because he was the failson; a lay-about black-sheep of a political dynasty spanning 4 generations.
And then there was Reagan, who signed off on a bunch of Iran-Contra things and then had Alzheimer’s and other kind of dementia melt his brain like the Mission: Impossible self-destructing tape or something
He lost the vote, and, remarkably for POTUSes who lost the vote but won the election, he also lost the election and only won due to a lack of competent counting.
It had nothing to do with beer and everything to do with our system’s bad design.
We have to resize the court, before it’s too late.
Them handing the election to W despite his L was the sign it needed to happen, and a mere 20 years later they’re stripping women’s right to bodily autonomy.
I am not a bright man
