Trump Appoints Hollywood Special Ambassadors

Donald Trump announced three 'Special Ambassadors' to Hollywood, including actors Mel Gibson, Jon Voight, and Sylvester Stallone, in a surprising move intended to revitalize the film industry, which Trump claims has lost business to foreign competitors. Gibson expressed his surprise at the appointment, stating he learned of it through Trump's Truth Social post, while also humorously inquiring if the role includes an ambassador's residence. The specific responsibilities of these ambassadors remain unclear, but Trump indicated they would act as his advisors in restoring Hollywood to its former glory. Gibson's controversial past, marked by antisemitic remarks during a 2006 DUI incident, has raised eyebrows, prompting criticism of his selection for this role. Critics argue that Gibson's appointment reflects Trump's strategy to fuel culture wars, while others find the choice laughable given Gibson's history. Despite this backlash, Trump appears to be leveraging these figures to strengthen his ties to conservative Hollywood voices.
