Sylvester Stallone hails Trump as the “second George Washington”
Salon
On Thursday, Sylvester Stallone enthusiastically praised Donald Trump at the America First Policy Institute gala, held at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, comparing him to America's founding father and, in a bold swing, Jesus himself.
“When George Washington defended this country, he had no idea that he was gonna change the world,” Stallone said, prior to introducing the president-elect. "Because without him, you could imagine what the world would look like. Guess what? We got the second George Washington!"
Veering off down memory lane, the actor regaled the crowd with an anecdote about "Rocky," using it as a segue to equate Trump with an even bigger historical figure, the son of God.
“When I did ‘Rocky,’ remember the first image was a picture of Jesus,” Stallone said. “The image pans out from Jesus onto Rocky being hit, and at that moment, he was a chosen person. And that’s how I began the journey. Something was going to happen. This man was going to go through a metamorphosis and change lives — just like president Trump."
@Experienced33 the other conservatives are also pro war and anti ecosystem. the Dems really don't compete against the GOP, they share power. Americans always elect them, like this year. Democracy.
@Roundandroundwego Leaving aside whether you are right or wrong for a moment, where you are defininitely wrong is that Americans just voted on the basis of their perceived self interest. They dont give a damn about peace or war or justice or poverty anywhere outside their back yard..😷
@whowasthatmaskedman they were unanimous in support of Israel, cutting social services and expanding war against Russia. Not a mistake - it's just that people won't accept their utterly evil character. When you serve nicely in the house of evil, evil becomes very powerful. Three hundred years of evil and niceness.
