Donald Trump has tapped three of his longstanding celebrity supporters – Mel Gibson, Jon Voight and Sylvester Stallone – to purportedly make Hollywood “stronger than ever before” as “special ambassadors” to the movie capital.

The president-elect announced the new appointments, whose duties remain unclear, on Truth Social on Thursday, four days before his inauguration. “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,” he wrote.

“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! 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!”

    Scraping the bottom of the barrel of has-beens to find someone willing to work for him. I think that says a lot about Donald the Jester (of King Elon).

    Cant wait for the US government to subsidize the production of The Expendables 2025 starring Donald Trump and a band of old fuckers nobody cares about anymore saving an election from being stolen by some racist charicature.

    What a blowhard. And when he’s done blowing Putin, I’ll bet his face looks like a housepainter’s radio.

          He called Trump “the second George Washington”, otherwise spent years “staying out of politics” but also making sure to pretend he isn’t Republican by saying “people think I’m Republican because of Rocky and Rambo.”

          Surprise. Was Republican.

          You get to decide if supporting Trump is a deal breaker. It sure should be. (Unless you are an enemy of the USA or a Billionaire)

    Mel Gibson is mostly known these days for being super racist, which is why this announcement is not surprising at all.

    He’s off to a great start pretending to be a ‘president’ again. He has no idea what a President does or how to manage an entire country. America voted for an idiot 2 times. The con man will do nothing to make america ‘great’.

    Gibson, who recently lost his home in the Los Angeles wildfires, told Variety that he had learned of his new position through Trump’s social media. “I got the tweet at the same time as all of you and was just as surprised.

    LOL what?! So Gibson didn’t even know this was going to be a thing?
