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.

    If that’s the case, why didn’t they pass any meaningful bill in the first 2 years of his presidency?

    He didn’t champion anything, so Congress didn’t give him any bills to sign that he wanted.

    It’s not 3d chess. Hell, it’s not even checkers. It’s that Republicans are stuck with this moron that a significant, and very loud percentage of their base LOVES.
