Trump talks his favorite Elvis song during Graceland visit

“We love Elvis,” President Donald Trump said as he entered the Graceland mansion on Monday.

Trump’s visit came after he hosted a roundtable event in Memphis, where he touted his administration’s surge of federal law enforcement to crack down on crime.

It also came amid the U.S. and Israel’s war with Iran and chaos at U.S. airports as Congress remains at an impasse over funding the Department of Homeland Security.

Trump is only the second sitting president to visit the sprawling estate Elvis Presley called home. Then-President George W. Bush visited Graceland in 2006 with then-Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi, a big Elvis fan.

“Who doesn’t love Elvis? Everybody loves Elvis, right?” Trump said.

Trump repeated his admiration for the King of Rock and Roll and his music, saying he was a “big fan” — lamenting the fact that he never met him.

“I knew Frank Sinatra. I knew most of them. Unfortunately, I never met Elvis, and that would be one I would have liked a lot. But I do like his music. I will say. So, thank you for inviting me, I appreciate it,” Trump said.

“I don’t get tired of that music. I hear a lot,” he added.

The president said his favorite Elvis song is “Hurt.”

Trump also signed a replica of a guitar that Presley used in his 1973 “Aloha from Hawaii” show.

Attorney General Pam Bondi, Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte, White House aides Walt Nauta, Boris Epshteyn, Natalie Harp and a few others joined Trump for the tour.

The Presidential Medal of Freedom that Trump posthumously awarded to Presley was on display during the tour. Trump bestowed the honor during his first term in office in 2018.

Trump was also asked if he could imagine “someday in the very distant future people making a similar pilgrimage to Mar-A-Lago” like they do to Graceland.

“Well, I don’t know,” Trump said. “It’s something I could never say. … That’s a special place, too.”
