President-elect Donald Trump has appointed Mel Gibson, Jon Voight, and Sylvester Stallone to key positions. Though Trump has not yet taken office, with his inauguration scheduled for January 20, he is already making significant decisions.
Trump described Hollywood as “a very troubled place” and expressed his intention to make it “bigger, better, and stronger than ever before” once he assumes the presidency.
How does he plan to achieve this? With the support of seasoned actors Gibson, Voight, and Stallone, it seems.
On his Truth Social account, Trump wrote: “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.
“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!”
Trump continued: “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!”
Currently, the specifics of these roles remain unknown.
After the announcement, Gibson, known for Braveheart, expressed his surprise. In a statement to USA Today, Gibson remarked: “I got the tweet at the same time as all of you and was just as surprised. Nevertheless, I heed the call. My duty as a citizen is to give any help and insight I can.”
Having recently lost his Malibu home in the LA wildfires, the 69-year-old humorously questioned: “Any chance the position comes with an Ambassador’s residence?”
As of now, Voigt — father of Angelina Jolie — and Stallone have not publicly commented on their new roles.
It’s uncertain whether the three actors will attend Trump’s inauguration on Monday. However, Kid Rock is confirmed to participate.
The musician will be performing at the inauguration alongside artists such as Carrie Underwood and the Village People.
Kid Rock recently discussed his performance on Jesse Watters Primetime, where he commented on Michelle Obama’s absence, suggesting she might be “a little angry.”
He also mentioned that despite not voting for Barack Obama, he performed at the 2009 Youth Inaugural Ball after the former president’s invitation.
