Sylvester Stallone Praises Donald Trump as the ‘Second George Washington’

Sylvester Stallone called Donald Trump the "second George Washington" during an appearance at the Mar-A-Lago Club.

The actor spoke ahead of Trump the America First Policy Institute gala, praising the Republican victor and comparing him to his character in Rocky. Stallone opened his speech by recalling his 1976 classic film, reminding the audience of the movie’s beginning sequence where the camera pans out from a picture of Jesus onto Rocky Balboa being hit. In 2018, during Trump’s first term as president, Stallone visited the Oval Office after making a personal appeal to get a posthumous presidential pardon for legendary boxer Jack Johnson.
