Part 2/5:
Stallone's speech began with a poetic homage to George Washington, highlighting the transformative role he played in shaping the United States. He stated, "When George Washington defended his country, he had no idea that he was going to change the world." This reflection underscores Washington's profound impact on American history—a leader who, despite humble beginnings, became a pivotal figure in establishing the nation.
The actor emphasized that without Washington's leadership, the world today might look vastly different. He then drew an analogy, declaring, "Guess what? We got the second George Washington," positioning Donald Trump as a new figure of monumental influence and leadership in the American story.
