Sylvester Stallone Hails Trump as "Mythical Figure," Compares Him to Rocky Balboa and George Washington

Sylvester Stallone made waves during a recent event at Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate, where he compared the president-elect to his iconic character, Rocky Balboa. Reflecting on Trump’s resounding victory in the 2024 election, Stallone described him as a "mythical figure" and expressed admiration for his achievements.

The legendary actor opened his speech by recounting the opening scene of Rocky, where the camera lingers on a painting of Jesus Christ in a converted church boxing ring. Stallone explained how the words “Resurrection AC Club” foreshadow Rocky’s transformation, drawing a parallel to Trump’s journey. “Rocky becomes the chosen person who goes through a metamorphosis to change lives, just like President Trump,” he said.

Stallone didn’t hold back in praising Trump, calling his win over Kamala Harris a feat that left him “in awe.” He remarked, “This individual does not exist on this planet. Nobody could’ve pulled off what he pulled off.”

Further amplifying his praise, Stallone compared Trump to George Washington, the nation’s first president, emphasizing their shared ability to inspire monumental change. “Guess what? We got the second George Washington,” he told the crowd.

The evening concluded with Stallone congratulating Trump and inviting him on stage to join an enthusiastic audience that included high-profile figures like Tulsi Gabbard, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Elon Musk, and Tucker Carlson.
