Actor Sylvester Stallone hailed President-elect Donald Trump as a “real life Rocky Balboa” and “the second George Washington” during a celebratory speech at Mar-a-Lago, praising his historic comeback victory.

The Rocky star captivated the audience as he praised Trump’s leadership and resilience, likening him to a “mythical character” whose triumph had left him deeply impressed.

Stallone’s iconic role as Rocky Balboa, a working-class boxer who overcomes significant odds to achieve greatness, has become a global symbol of resilience and determination, and Stallone considers Trump to share some of Balboa’s underdog spirit.

“We are in the presence of a really mythical character. I love mythology,” said Stallone.

“His individual does not exist on this planet. Nobody in the world could have pulled off what he pulled off,” he added. “When George Washington defended his country, he had no idea that he was going to change the world. ’cause without him, you could imagine what the world would look like.”

Stallone brought it home by referring to Trump as “the second George Washington.”

Breitbart report: While Stallone kept to the shadows throughout the election, he did show signs of Republican support through his moving to Florida.

He also showed signs of being pro-life when he talked how his mother nearly aborted him. He offered his shocking confession when speaking with his daughters, Sophia and Sistine, on their Unwaxed podcast about the new documentary SLY, which focuses on his life story.

Though Stallone described a childhood where “everybody was extremely unhappy with who they were,” he admitted that his parents were aloof and not interested in raising children. The documentary revealed that Stallone’s mother hesitated about having him and Sistine asked if that meant he felt unwanted.

According to the actor, his mother would tell him “the only reason you’re here is because the hanger didn’t work” – a reference to at-home abortions.

His mother would also tell him she would be doing him a “favor” if she opened his window so he could freeze to death “if there was really something wrong” with his brain.

“Of course, I mean, what type of mother says that to her child?” Sophia responded.

Stallone said he opted not to share about his maternal abuse in the documentary, believing “it would be too much for the audience.”
