Sylvester Stallone Calls Trump the ‘Second George Washington’ in a Speech That Packs More Punches Than a Rocky Montage

Buy Me A Coffee

Sylvester Stallone just gave a speech so wild it could’ve been the plot of Rocky XV: The Presidential Rumble. The 78-year-old star of Rocky and general ambassador of flexed biceps took the stage at Mar-a-Lago during the America First Policy Institute Gala, where he introduced Donald Trump with enough flair to make a WWE announcer jealous.

“We are in the presence of a really mythical character,” Stallone declared, perhaps confusing the gala for a Comic-Con panel. “I love mythology.” (Cue the mental image of Trump as Hercules, except instead of a lion skin, he’s draped in golden golf towels.)

Stallone, clearly feeling inspired, didn’t stop there. Nope. He went full cinematic crossover and compared Trump to not just one iconic figure, but TWO. First up? Jesus Christ. Yes, that Jesus. Second? Rocky Balboa. Which, let’s be honest, might make the ultimate buddy comedy. Imagine Jesus, Rocky, and Trump training for a celestial boxing match while arguing over carb counts.

But wait—there’s more! In the pièce de résistance of his speech, Stallone dubbed Trump the “second George Washington,” adding, “When George Washington defended his country, he had no idea that he was going to change the world.” And in what can only be described as a mic-drop moment (minus the actual mic drop, because Mar-a-Lago probably charges extra for damaged equipment), he said, “Guess what? We got the second George Washington. Congratulations!”

Somewhere, history professors are clutching their textbooks, and George Washington’s ghost is probably doing a double take.

For those keeping score at home, Stallone has been a Trump fan for a while. Back in 2016, he admitted to “loving” Trump as a “character.” (Translation: Stallone probably saw Trump as someone who could star in an action flick called The Apprentice Terminator: Boardroom Battles.) But even then, he wasn’t entirely sold on Trump “running the world.” Fast-forward to 2024, and it seems Sly has changed his tune—or maybe just doubled down on the mythology metaphors.

Is Stallone rewriting the history books? Maybe. Is he rewriting the scripts for future political speeches? Definitely. One thing’s for sure—when it comes to blending Hollywood drama with real-life politics, Stallone still knows how to throw a knockout punch. Ding, ding! 🥊
