Donald Trump has an idea about how to make art great again by tapping Rocky to head the National Endowment for the Arts.
DailyMail.com is reporting that Stallone is the first name Trump has floated for the top arts position. Sylvester Stallone, known for his roles as Rocky Balboa and Rambo, is reportedly excited by the idea, though the job has not been formally offered to him yet.

In other news, it was announced that each city would get a “Rocky” statue like Philadelphia’s.

Might not be as bad as it sounds. Stallone is apparently a halfway decent director, and is a lot more engaged than his “dumb-muscle” screen personality would suggest.

Somebody please show me where the NEA is a power granted by the Constitution to the feds.

Where exactly in the Constitution does it call for the government to be a patron of the arts with taxpayer dollars ?

The NEA? That is yet another entity which should be ended, just like the Dept. of Education, the Dept. of Energy and other useless entities in the government.

I guess screwed up plastic surgery doesn’t qualify as art.

One thing about the Champ, he is all American.
No Euroweenie is he, and also a man of few words.
This is a very good idea.

For those who don't know:
LINK:
Sylvester Stallone
I.Q. 160
Hes known for his brawn as the muscle-bound heroes Rambo and Rocky Balboa. But he doesn't get much credit as the writer of his titular first hit movie. Multiple sources say hes been tested at 160 I.Q., so while hes not splitting atoms, the fact hes managed to keep a successful career into his sixties shows hes no musclehead.
He's also a devout Christian.
