Donald Trump asked Graceland staff if he could have beaten karate-enthusiast Elvis Presley in a fight.
On Monday (23 March), the president paid an impromptu visit to the late singer’s estate in Memphis after he attended a law enforcement roundtable on efforts to address crime in the city.
As staff said that the singer was also a competent martial artist, with two 8th degree black belts in karate, Mr Trump asked the workers if they thought he “could have taken” him on in a fight.
“I don't know? You might,” replied one. “I think he would've been respectful enough to let you win.”
