Trump visited Graceland on March 23, 2026, touring the estate and praising Elvis Presley during a trip focused on urban crime.

President Donald Trump made a surprise visit to Graceland in Memphis on March 23, 2026, during a stop for a roundtable on urban crime. The estate temporarily closed for the private tour, where Trump viewed personal items including Presley’s Army helmet, gold-plated Social Security card, and a replica of his “Aloha From Hawaii” guitar, which he signed. He expressed admiration for Presley’s fame, joked about possibly defeating him in a fight, and referenced their physical similarities. The visit occurred amid ongoing U.S. military pauses on strikes against Iranian power plants and challenges with airport security lines, with Trump sending officials to assist the TSA during a Homeland Security shutdown.
