Donald Trump has tapped three of his longstanding celebrity supporters – Mel Gibson, Jon Voight and Sylvester Stallone – to purportedly make Hollywood “stronger than ever before” as “special ambassadors” to the movie capital.
The president-elect announced the new appointments, whose duties remain unclear, on Truth Social on Thursday, four days before his inauguration. “It is my honor to announce Jon Voight, Mel Gibson, and Sylvester Stallone, to be Special Ambassadors to a great but very troubled place, Hollywood, California,” he wrote.
“They will serve as Special Envoys to me for the purpose of bringing Hollywood, which has lost much business over the last four years to Foreign Countries, BACK—BIGGER, BETTER, AND STRONGER THAN EVER BEFORE! These three very talented people will be my eyes and ears, and I will get done what they suggest. It will again be, like The United States of America itself, The Golden Age of Hollywood!”
I thought that Stallone was a pretty decent guy, did I miss anything?
I wish mell would have stayed home.
Voight is still alive? Huh.
Mel Gibson is mostly known these days for being super racist, which is why this announcement is not surprising at all.
Trump has the Midas touch, for pointing out shitty people.
The Mierdas touch, as some day
Gibson, who recently lost his home in the Los Angeles wildfires, told Variety that he had learned of his new position through Trump’s social media. “I got the tweet at the same time as all of you and was just as surprised.
LOL what?! So Gibson didn’t even know this was going to be a thing?
He’s off to a great start pretending to be a ‘president’ again. He has no idea what a President does or how to manage an entire country. America voted for an idiot 2 times. The con man will do nothing to make america ‘great’.
Technically he still didn’t win a majority of the vote a single time.
They didn’t vote for him the first time, and they didn’t vote the second time.
Oh yay, McCarthyism is coming back too!
When exactly did it leave? Communist just got replaced with something else
It got replaced with wokeism
Go back to sleep, sheep
Isn’t it kinda wild that we went from “wake up sheeple” being a pretty universal meme used across the political spectrum, to today where “being woke” which basically grew out of that meme is essentially considered a political ideology?
I’m just pointing out what the Right hate nowadays or at least what they call it.
Try sarcasm next time: /s
It wasn’t sarcastic. I am just stating what they call the thing they hate as.
I’m expecting him to announce they’re bringing Seagal back from Russia.
Yep that will definitely bring down the price of eggs.
I don’t think the biggest problem of Hollywood is the lack of Republican meddling.
And it shows that only Hollywoods has-beens are rooting for Donald.
Holy shit… this isn’t an Onion article?
Sounds to me like they want to make propaganda films.
It sounds to me like the dying gasp of a cocaine-fueled homerotic roadtrip in California somewhere.
I think he wanted Goebbels too
Trump is consistent if nothing else. He really loves stupid and crazy people.
Stupid? Would a stupid man star in Baby Geniuses 2? I’ll just leave this here. youtube.com/watch?v=sT3coep3EW0
There was a moment they normalized the ass hat. I really think Vic intentionally (or unknowingly) it.
They make him look good and normal.
Well. Not exactly.
… is this just for optics or some sort of play at media control?
