Sylvester Stallone sparked reactions after praising President-elect Donald Trump at the America First Policy Institute Gala, likening him to his iconic character Rocky Balboa and dubbing him the 'second George Washington.' During the event at Mar-a-Lago, Stallone expressed his admiration for Trump, describing him as a 'mythical character' and compared his election victory to a historic feat akin to George Washington's impact on America. Stallone's comments have divided fans and the public, with some expressing disappointment in his support for Trump, contrasting with Hollywood's broader backing of Kamala Harris. The gala, attended by prominent figures including Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Elon Musk, also saw the announcement of new appointees in Trump's administration. Stallone's past admiration for Trump dates back to 2016, despite not publicly endorsing him in previous election cycles. The event highlighted Stallone's longstanding relationship with Trump and his symbolic comparison of Trump to legendary figures.
