Sylvester Stallone called Donald Trump the “second George Washington” and compared him to his classic character Rocky Balboa following his election win last week.Stallone was giving a speech introducing Trump at the America First Policy Institute Gala held at the Mar-A-Lago Club in Palm Beach Florida last night (November 14) when he made the comments.He said: “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.”He added: “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.”Stallone evoked the opening frame in the first Rocky movie, which pans out from a picture of Jesus into Rocky being hit, saying: “At that moment, he was a chosen person and that’s how I began the journey — something was gonna happen, this man was gonna go through a metamorphosis and change lives, just like President Trump.”Sylvester Stallone (@theslystallone) introduces President-elect Trump at the @A1Policy Gala.
