Sylvester Stallone, the iconic actor known for his role as Rocky Balboa, recently had high praise for the newly elected President of the United States, Donald Trump. At the America First Policy Institute Gala, Stallone introduced Trump and compared him to the country's first president, George Washington. He also drew parallels between Trump and his own character, Rocky Balboa, in terms of their larger-than-life presence and ability to inspire change.
Stallone, who had remained quiet about his political views in the past, expressed his admiration for Trump's victory over Democratic candidate Kamala Harris in the recent election. He even went as far as to call Trump the "second George Washington," emphasizing the impact he believes Trump will have on the world.
Comparing Trump to Washington, the Founding Father who helped shape the nation, Stallone noted that without Washington, the world would look very different. He also drew comparisons between Trump and his own character, Rocky Balboa, in terms of their ability to inspire and change lives.
Stallone shared a personal anecdote from his iconic film, Rocky, where the opening frame shows a painting of Jesus Christ before panning out to reveal Rocky being hit in the gym. He compared this moment to Trump's own journey, saying that he believes Trump was "chosen" for a special purpose and that he will go through a metamorphosis and change lives, just like Rocky did.
Following the introduction, Trump joined Stallone on stage and the two shared a long handshake. Stallone had previously remained quiet about his political affiliations, but in a 2016 interview, he expressed his admiration for Trump and called him a "great Dickensian character."
In the same year, Trump reportedly asked Stallone to manage an agency that provides funding for artists and creative projects in his administration. Stallone also confirmed that he had been invited to Trump's Mar-a-Lago club, but clarified that he was not a member.
In a statement, Stallone's team denied reports that he had joined the club, saying that he was only a dinner guest and had not paid any initiation fees. The statement also added that Stallone "did not join the organization" and "did not pay initiation dues."
It is clear that Stallone holds a great admiration for Trump and believes that he will have a significant impact on the world, much like his own character, Rocky Balboa. While some may question Stallone's views, it is clear that he holds a deep respect for Trump and his abilities.
