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.

He also despises the second amendment for all but his bodyguards and himself and believes brown shirts should go door to door to confiscate our weapons. He’s garbage. He should be taken out with the rest of the liberal trash.
Except that Rocky (the original) is a justified Best Picture Oscar winner on a level with On The Waterfront, it’s not just a boxing movie, and Stallone was perfect in it. Plus it put the spotlight on Philadelphia. Sylvester earned his statue.
And yes I know On The Waterfront didn’t win Best Picture. Rocky is a similar story about the working class.
Nah.
I knew a marine that had been a boxer in Philadelphia about the time that the movie was set in. He had taken way too many blows to the head, and he sounded and acted a lot like the character.
Maybe Stallone really was acting.
Or, he could have had a bunch of burly guys bash his face in repeatedly for several years...
Yo, Hillary, bend over!

No. Defund the cesspool. If the artist is good enough people will pay to see them. If not, get a real job.
One man's swamp is another's hallowed (play)ground.
I’d prefer Trump *not* nominate/name people for a bunch of depts. and agencies so that they can be terminated, including:
Agriculture
Commerce
Education
Energy
EPA
HHS
Homeland Security
HUD
IRS
Labor
NEA
NEH
Transportation
VA
Bwahaha!
Totally agreed—the NEA just disadvantages those in the arts who aren’t favored insiders, as well as waste taxpayers’ money.
Stallone is a pretty good amateur painter and as for his acting, I recommend a re-watch of Cop Land. He was quite good in that.
I think he would be fine as NEA chairman, an agency I agree should go away, right after we get rid of the Department of Education.
Some appointments should be made with the main task of turning off the lights. Rick Perry's comes immediately to mind.
LOL...one can dream...
Never happen...
Just cut their budgets by 50 % and nobody that counts will even notice...
I LOVE this idea!!!! Yo, Rock!
One would THINK the NEA is a dept. that the government could abolish.
Stallone, anti-2A, is the typical Hollywood Hypocrite. Wants everybody’s guns except his (CCW). Makes movies filled with firepower and violence.
Moron.
