MUST SEE: Legendary “Rocky” Actor Praises Trump
Hollywood legend Sylvester Stallone ignited patriotic fervor at the America First Policy Institute Gala on Thursday, hosted at President-elect Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort.
The iconic actor boldly likened President Trump to George Washington, declaring him the “second George Washington” and emphasizing his unparalleled role in revitalizing America.
“When George Washington defended this country, he had no idea he was going to change the world,” Stallone proclaimed to an enthusiastic audience. “Guess what? We’ve got the second George Washington!”
His remarks drew thunderous applause from the crowd, underscoring the deep resonance of his comparison with Mr. Trump’s base.
The “Rocky” star elaborated on the parallel by drawing inspiration from his own iconic film. “When I did ‘Rocky,’ the first image was a picture of Jesus,” Stallone explained, referencing the film’s opening scene.
He described the character as a “chosen person” undergoing a transformation — a metaphor he extended to Mr. Trump. “Just like President Trump, something was destined to happen, and lives were going to change,” he added.
For Stallone, President Trump represents a mythical, chosen figure, uniquely equipped to combat the corruption and inefficiencies plaguing the nation. “Nobody in the world could’ve pulled off what he pulled off — so I’m in awe,” he said.
His words reflected the belief among conservatives that Trump’s leadership is a continuation of Washington’s legacy of restoring liberty and independence.
The comparison between Washington and President Trump resonates strongly within conservative circles.
Both leaders are celebrated for their fearless resolve in facing adversity. Washington’s leadership during the Revolutionary War laid the foundation for the United States, while President Trump’s America First policies are hailed for reaffirming the nation’s sovereignty and fighting back against globalist elites.
Stallone’s speech reflected this narrative, portraying Donald Trump as a patriot whose mission is to reclaim America’s greatness. From border security to economic revival, President Trump’s agenda aligns closely with Washington’s vision of a free and prosperous nation.
The actor, long reluctant to wade into political discussions, broke his silence at a pivotal moment.
His remarks electrified the gala, where Lee Greenwood’s “God Bless the U.S.A.” played in celebration, a symbolic reminder of unity and purpose.
As America moves toward the 2024 elections, Stallone’s bold statements underscore the conservative belief that President Trump is the leader the nation needs to reclaim its founding principles.
For his supporters, the comparison to Washington is not just symbolic but prophetic — a rallying cry for a return to greatness.
In Stallone’s words, President Trump is not just a politician but a historic figure “destined to change lives,” much like the founding father himself.
