Hollywood action legend Sylvester Stallone had nothing but nice things to say about President-elect Donald Trump during a star-studded America First Policy Conference at Mar-a-Lago on Thursday night; “I’m in awe,” Stallone said during his remarks.

Stallone compared Trump to his on-screen boxing persona Rocky Balboa as well as the first President of the United States, George Washington.

From The New York Post:

The 78-year-old Stallone described the opening scene of the first film where the camera pans down from a mural of Jesus inside an old church converted into a boxing gym as Rocky Balboa gets punched by his opponent, with the word “Resurrection AC Club” shown in the background.

“At that moment, he was a chosen person and that’s how I began the journey,” Stallone told the crowd in West Palm Beach, Florida. “Something’s gonna happen, this man is gonna go through a metamorphosis and change lives.”

“Just like President Trump,” he said as the audience erupted in cheers.

…

“This individual does not exist on this planet. Nobody could’ve pulled off what he pulled off, so I’m in awe,” he said.

The tough-man filmmaker compared Trump’s most recent campaign to the American Revolution and the nation’s first president.

“When George Washington defended his country, he had no idea that he was going to change the world. ‘Cause without him, you could imagine what the world would look like.”

“Guess what? We got the second George Washington,” he said.

“Congratulations,” Stallone said as he welcomed Trump on stage.
