Donald Trump's Sylvester Stallone Announcement Takes Aggravating Turn For Many
HuffPost
Critics punched back at the president's intro for the "Rocky" star as a Kennedy Center honoree.
Donald Trump on Wednesday announced “Rocky” star Sylvester Stallone as a Kennedy Center honoree, but the president made the presentation all about himself, observers complained.
“Sly is a pillar of ... American popular culture and a Hollywood superstar like few others and one of the biggest names on the Hollywood Walk of Fame,” Trump began normally enough.
Then his vanity took over.
“In fact, the only one that’s a bigger name on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, they say, is a guy named Donald Trump,” he continued. “I’m on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, too, if you can believe that one. ”
If this were a bout against Stallone’s fictitious fighter Rocky Balboa, the judges, aka the internet, might have awarded Trump’s ego an ugly victory by decision.
