Donald Trump has been back on the campaign trail to back Cindy Hyde-Smith in her scandal-hit run-off race in Mississippi (in short, she jokingly said she'd be up for going to a public hanging in a part of America where lynchings were once rife, jokingly suggested voter suppression might be quite good and has a thing for Confederate history) and the President took the opportunity to remind voters in Tupelo of the town's favourite son.

"Home of thousands of hard-working American patriots and the proud birthplace of the king of rock 'n' roll, Elvis. Elvis! We love Elvis," Trump said. "I shouldn't say this - you'll say I'm very conceited 'cause I'm not. But other than the blond hair when I was growing up, they said I looked like Elvis. Can you believe that? I always considered that a great compliment. We love Elvis, don't we?"

Quite who told Trump that he looked like Elvis, we may never know, though it seems quite unlikely that they meant any of the sexy Elvises, like Jailhouse Rock Elvis or '68 Comeback Special Elvis or Absolutely No Bone Spurs Army Elvis.

Maybe they meant Heavily Sedated Laboured Breathing Elvis, or Elvis Costello, or that his devil-may-care attitude reminded them of Carey Elwes in Days Of Thunder. But who and what did Trump actually look like as a younger man? Let's investigate:
