Sylvester Stallone said Trump is the ‘second George Washington’ – 13 punchiest reactions
Donald Trump’s election to a second term as US president continues to send shockwaves through American culture.
So we probably shouldn’t be surprised to see Trump’s decisive win encouraging some well-known, and, until now, secret/discreet supporters speaking out more.
Enter Rocky and Rambo screen legend Sylvester Stallone.
JUST IN: Sylvester Stallone introduces Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago, says Trump is like the “second George Washington.”

Stallone was speaking at the American First Policy Institute Gala at Mar-A-Lago.
Here’s what he had to say.
“We’re in the presence of a really mythical character…I love mythology.
‘And this individual does not exist on this planet. Nobody in the world could have pulled off what he pulled off, so I’m in awe.
‘When George Washington defended his country, he had no idea that he was gonna change the world. Because without him, you could imagine what the world would look like. Guess what? We got the second George Washington.’
Sly’s emergence as a Trump supporter has understandable led to some … mixed reactions from across the spectrum.

Sylvester Stallone calls Donald Trump the second George Washington.
This made me sad…until I realized we have Arnold.

They have Sylvester ‘Rambo’ Stallone, we have an Arnold ‘Terminator’ Schwarzenegger.
They have Scott ‘Chachi’ Baio, we have a Michael ‘Batman’ Keaton.
They have Kevin ‘Hercules’ Sorbo, we have a Ryan ‘Deadpool’ Reynolds.Not even comparable.
