The actor Sylvester Stallone managed during a brief speech on Thursday evening to compare Donald Trump's comeback as president with both his own film character Rocky and the USA's former president George Washington. This took place at a gala in Mar-a-Lago in Florida, USA, writes The Wrap.

"When George Washington defended this country, he had no idea that he would change the world", said Sylvester Stallone and then added: "Guess what happened? We have the second George Washington! Congratulations!". Earlier, he had explained that his own film persona Rocky was a "chosen person" who could "change lives – just like President Trump".
