Jimmy Kimmel Slams Sylvester Stallone for Calling Trump the ‘Second George Washington’: ‘I Guess Those Punches Rocky Took to the Head Were Real’

As a seasoned cinema enthusiast who has seen his fair share of action movies and political dramas, I must say that Sylvester Stallone’s comparison of Donald Trump to George Washington is a stretch even for Hollywood. The first President of the United States was a founding father, a military general, and a statesman, while Trump… well, let’s just say he’s more known for reality TV than revolution.


During his speech on Monday evening, Jimmy Kimmel playfully criticized Sylvester Stallone for referring to Donald Trump as “the second George Washington.

The “Rocky” and “Tulsa King” actor spoke at an American First Gala at Mar-a-Lago on Thursday night, where he introduced the President-elect as such. “When George Washington defended his country, he had no idea that he was going to change the world. Because without him, you can imagine what the world would look like,” Stallone said. “Guess what, we got the second George Washington. Congratulations!”

In a nod to Stallone’s statement, Kimmel remarked: “It seems that the blows Rocky received to his head were indeed genuine.

He commented, “George Washington is known as the founder of our nation. In contrast, Donald Trump is referred to as the father of Eric. There’s a significant disparity in those roles.

Representatives for Stallone did not immediately respond to EbMaster‘s request for comment.

The late-night show’s presenter likewise made light of a picture featuring Trump, Elon Musk, RFK Jr., Donald Trump Jr., and House Speaker Mike Johnson enjoying McDonald’s on their private jet following the UFC 309 event over the weekend.

Following the altercation, Trump placed everyone involved in the scuffle onto his aircraft, as per Kimmel’s commentary. This image is quite intriguing; it resembles The Last Supper, but each figure seems to be betraying the others… Notice Mike Johnson, who appears like a small elf, peeking in, along with RFK, the health czar, enjoying a quarter-pounder with cheese, 10 McNuggets, large fries, and a soda. This is what they humorously refer to as a ‘farm-to-toilet’ meal.

Kimmel went on to say, “It’s typical of Trump to make his new health advisor consume McDonald’s. He uses these tests as a way to assert dominance. Mike Johnson was told to attend a fight, RFK had to eat at McDonald’s, and Matt Gaetz was asked to date someone he didn’t pay for.
