Trump ripped over flubbed pronunciation of Sylvester Stallone’s name


Donald Trump appeared to mispronounce Sylvester Stallone’s name while awarding him a medal as a Kennedy Center honoree on Saturday.

The president, 79, has a history of mispronouncing words like acetaminophen or the names of his political opponents. However, during a ceremony at the Oval Office, Trump flubbed the name of his own friend and supporter by dropping the “t” from the actor’s last name — twice.

Trump introduced Stallone as “a friend of mine, a wonderful person, a really spectacular person, one of the true great movie stars there are,” before reading out his name as “Sallone.”

He then repeated the mispronunciation as he put a medallion around Stallone’s neck. The Rocky actor, 79, did not react to the mistake, but reactions to the blunder quickly poured in on social media.

“Trump is so out of it that he can’t even pronounce Sylvester Stallone’s name…yesterday as he presented Stallone with his Kennedy Center medal he mispronounced his last name twice as ‘Sallone,’” one person wrote on X.

Another added, “Trump should have rehearsed. Stallone, NOT Sallone.”

“Sly Salone he says,” a third wrote.

Others were unimpressed with how the president read the introductions during the event.

“Why does every Trump intro sound like he’s discovering the person as he’s speaking?” one user wrote, adding: “He introduces people like he’s reading off a Hallmark card written at 3 a.m.”

Stallone was chosen as a 2025 Kennedy Center honoree alongside singers Gloria Gaynor and George Strait, the rock band Kiss, and actor Michael Crawford. The artists will be recognized at Sunday’s Kennedy Center Honors event, which will be hosted by Trump and feature a series of performances and tribute speeches.

“This is a group of icons whose work and accomplishments have inspired, uplifted and unified millions and millions of Americans,” said Trump, donning a tuxedo for the event. “This is perhaps the most accomplished and renowned class of Kennedy Center Honorees ever assembled.”

Stallone is a public supporter of Trump and praised him as a “mythical creature” after he won the presidential election last year.

“We’re in the presence of a really mythical character. I love mythology. This individual does not exist on this planet. Nobody in the world could have pulled off what he pulled off, so I’m in awe,” Stallone said at the time. He went on to call Trump “the second George Washington.

Stallone was named one of Trump’s three “special ambassadors” to Hollywood earlier this year, along with Jon Voight and Mel Gibson, though it was never made clear what the job entails.
He's stroking. lol.

Right back to the AI, I see.

You really have a lot of confidence in something you don't understand, don't you?

First thing you should learn is to not compare apples and oranges.
This is an academic study.
This is a GAO report. (Can also be classified as a study.)
First thing you should do is do your research.
Here's another study from 2011 that shows 3,600 US citizens were wrongfully arrested by ICE.
So this has been going on well before Trump became POTUS.
By your definition Obama then should also be a fascist since many of these happened under his watch.

I know you feel inadequate after having it pointed out you can't read or understand things and rely on AI, but you're supposed to be happier because you're dumb, remember?
Didn't you embrace that study earlier?

Of course.
Don't you think that more than one study would replicate the findings using different avenues of approach?

I see you at least seem to have backed off the "Trump made it better" angle you were embarrassing yourself with earlier.

By your definition Obama then should also be a fascist since many of these happened under his watch.
No.
That's not the definition of "a fascist".
I thought you understood that even if rich didn't.

Remember the graph?
And how the graph wasn't a graph of "this is a fascist"?
(Do you and rich want to combine forces and pick what it would take to prove Trump is a fascist? It would make it easier if you were aligned.)

You don't even seem to understand the conversation and yet you're still desperately going to the internet trying to find evidence of something you can't even seem to wrap your head around.

Let's try baby steps.
Now that you've done all this research, you aren't going to pretend that Trump hasn't done it, right?
The whole "If you can't give me names it didn't happen" idiocy will stop from you now?

Blah......blah.......blah.

Do you now admit that previous administrations also wrongfully deported US citizens, yes or no??

Did it ever occur to you that the majority of illegal immigrants are people of colour??
Of course ICE is gonna go after them more, because the US is flooded with them
The US is not flooded with them, this is just rhetoric.
But yes, the majority of undocumented immigrants are POCs, which is why this entire mass deportation program exists.
If it were caucasians they would be welcome, just like the fat South Africans with a car and a house back home were welcome as "refugees".
This mass deportation is therefore a form of soft ethnic cleansing, which is why it is fascist.

Donald Trump's bandages return during Kennedy Center Honors gala as health rumors mount: Photos

Donald Trump's bruised hand made an appearance during Saturday evening's Kennedy Center Honors event.

The president, 79, had two bandages wrapped around his right hand during the dinner party.

Trump presented several of this year's honorees with medals in the Oval Office, including entertainers Gloria Gaynor, KISS and Sylvester Stallone.

This was the third time this week that he had Band-Aids slapped on his hand, as he also had them during a Cabinet meeting on December 2. “I’ll let you know when something’s wrong,” Trump said during the chat earlier his week.

The bandages were also noticed when Trump sat with the presidents of Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo two days later.

President Trump's Bruises Are From Shaking Hands and Taking Aspirin

Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt addressed the politician's bruising at earlier this year, saying: "President Trump is a man of the people and he meets more Americans and shakes their hands on a daily basis than any other president in history. His commitment is unwavering and he proves that every single day.”

The White House has previously noted Trump's use of aspirin and the amount of handshakes he undertakes per day as the sources of the blue and purple hue.

Trump Was Previously Diagnosed With Chronic Venous Insufficiency

Trump usually uses makeup such as concealer and mismatched foundation to cover up his bruises. Leavitt, 28, previously claimed the discoloration was "consistent with minor soft tissue irritation from frequent handshaking and the use of aspirin, which is taken as part of a standard cardiovascular prevention regimen."

She also revealed he was diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency, which the Cleveland Clinic described as when "the veins in the legs do not function properly, leading to poor blood flow back to the heart."

Despite Trump's health continuing to raise eyebrows, his doctor Sean Barbabella gave a statement regarding the results of his physical exam in April.

“President Trump remains in excellent health, exhibiting robust cardiac, pulmonary, neurological, and general physical function,” Barbabella said.

“His active lifestyle continues to contribute significantly to his well-being. President Trump’s days include participation in multiple meetings, public appearances, press availability, and frequent victories in golf events,” the physician added. “President Trump exhibits excellent cognitive and physical health and is fully fit to execute the duties of the Commander-in-Chief and Head of State.”

In that case Obama is a fascist too, because he deported more than 2.5 million people, most of whom were POC as well:


Oh and I dont think Obama is a fascist, he was just good at deporting people

He provided due process and focused on deporting recent arrivals and criminals, and when mistakes were made, remedies were provided.
At the very least there was a push from the government to not make mistakes and there was no underlying ethno-cultural agenda behind such deportations, unlike Trump.
Hence only Trump's actions are fascist.

There is 100% proof that he is fascist and yes I don't like fascism.
Deporting illegal immigrants without due process.
Not following court orders.
Violating the constitution.
Committing war crimes, in violation of both US and international law.
Using white supremacist language in both rhetoric and in US documents such as the recent national security strategy.
Narratives of decline and rebirth that he frequently engages in.
I have said this before and there is many more.
He didn't violate court orders....
All deportations had due process
Which war crimes did he commit?
Lmao...you got nothing bud...
