He went on to compare this symbolic scene to Trump’s meteoric rise, stating, “And in that moment he was a chosen person, and that’s how I began the journey—something was going to happen. This man was going to go through a metamorphosis and change lives, just like President Trump.”
The actor spoke passionately about Trump’s impact, likening him to legendary figures in history. “We are in the presence of a really mythical character,” Stallone remarked. “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 continued with a bold declaration: “When George Washington defended his country, he had no idea that he was going to change the world because without him, you could imagine what the world would look like. Guess what? We got the second George Washington. Congratulations.”
While Stallone has voiced admiration for Trump in the past, he has also clarified his position as politically independent. In a 2016 interview with Variety, the actor praised Trump as “a great Dickensian character” but expressed skepticism about his role as a leader. “I love Donald Trump,” Stallone said. “He’s a great Dickensian character. You know what I mean? There are certain people like Arnold [Schwarzenegger], Babe Ruth, that are bigger than life. But I don’t know how that translates to running the world.”
Stallone has also stated he did not vote in the 2016 election, noting, “I didn’t vote for anybody. I didn’t like anybody.”
Stallone’s attendance at the Mar-a-Lago gala has reignited speculation about his relationship with Trump’s exclusive Palm Beach estate. In the past, the actor has denied being a member of the club. In 2021, he debunked reports of his membership with an Instagram post stating, “I would like to say to everyone that this never happened. This is just not true. It NEVER ever happened..I mean no disrespect to anyone, I’m simply not a member .. So Keep Punching Folks.”

His publicist, Michelle Bega, clarified that Stallone’s appearances at Mar-a-Lago were as a guest, not as a member. “Sylvester Stallone has never been and is not now a member of Mar-a-Lago as has been falsely reported. He was an invited dinner guest at the Club but is not himself a member there.”
Stallone’s tribute to Trump at the gala reinforced his reputation as a master storyteller, drawing connections between Trump’s political journey and timeless narratives of heroism and perseverance. While Stallone may not align himself politically, his words resonated deeply with the audience, cementing Trump’s image as a transformative and “mythical” leader in the eyes of his supporters.
