Jimmy Kimmel spotted a strange moment at Mar-a-Lago recently as screen icon Sylvester Stallone gave President-elect Donald Trump an over-the-top introduction at an “America First” gala.
“When George Washington defended his country, he had no idea that he was gonna change the world. ’Cuz without him, you could imagine what the world would look like,” the “Rocky” actor said. “Guess what? We’ve got the second George Washington.”
“I guess those punches Rocky took to the head were real after all,” Kimmel cracked after hearing the wild comparison.
He also offered a key point of contrast between Trump and Washington.
“George Washington was the father of our country,” Kimmel said. “Donald Trump is the father of Eric. Big difference there.”
