Recently appointed as Trump’s "Ambassador to Hollywood," Stallone has been a vocal supporter of the president, even likening him to George Washington.
Trump praised Stallone as a cornerstone of American pop culture and a Hollywood icon, joking that the only bigger name on the Hollywood Walk of Fame is his own.
