This is what Jonathan Capehart said filling in for Lawrence O'Donnell last night:Trump has been compared to fat Elvis before. For example in:"The crowd cheered, even if he wasn't playing to a full house. Retributions against whom, exactly? Voters who rejected the Trump brand of democratic values and hand-picked candidates? The lawmakers to impeach him twice? The federal and state prosecutors overseeing many investigations into Donald Trump? But even as Donald Trump enters his 'fat Elvis' stage, it's imperative to take his threat to democracy seriously. It's still not clear who's gonna stand up to him in a Republican primary." Raw Story

'Paranoid' Elvis Presley's tragic final days - gorging on cheeseburgers and sad regret
Elvis Presley was overweight, constipated, "paranoid" and "miserable" in the lead up to his death on the toilet - though he was able to have one last piano singalong with his loved ones before he died.
Elvis Presley was overweight, constipated, "paranoid" and "miserable" in the lead up to his death on the toilet - though he was able to have one last piano singalong with his loved ones before he died.
And yet, when Elvis died on August 16, 1977, he had become something entirely different from his former self. Dealing with addiction and health issues and having a difficult time adjusting to the shifting cultural climate of the '60s and '70s, Elvis died a Vegas showman rather than a groundbreaking rocker. This kitschy new incarnation of his identity at the time of his death — what many refer to as "Old Elvis" — led to him becoming a new sort of posthumous icon, with many claiming his passing was faked and that Elvis was either alive on a private island somewhere or abducted by aliens
By 1976, Elvis had become disenfranchised and unhinged, his drug use, bad health, and financial excess chipping away at his composure. He spent most of his time holed up in the elaborate den — nicknamed the "Jungle Room" for its exotic decor — of his Memphis compound Graceland. Most worrisome to his record label, RCA, was that the King had become entirely uninterested in going into the studio and recording.
