Trump Considering Sylvester Stallone to Chair National Endowment for the Arts

"I love Donald Trump"

Reports indicate that President-elect Trump has considered Sylvester Stallone for Chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), according to a report.

According to The Daily MailTrump has not formally offered the job to Stallone, who is "positively disposed to the idea."

"Mr. Trump feels this sort of A-list appointment is precisely the shot in the arm that the industry needs," reports the outlet.

Stallone has been a supporter of Trump from the outset, telling Variety back in January, "I love Donald Trump."

"There are certain people like Arnold, Babe Ruth, that are bigger than life," he said of the real-estate mogul. 

The National Endowment for the Arts has "huge grant-making ability and has sway over everything from funding museums and opera shows to promoting policies and programs," reports Breitbart.

"The NEA is currently governed by artist Jane Chu, who heads the 14-member, president-appointed board. As of 2015, the agency commanded a $150 million budget."

Trump also used Stallone's inspirational speech to his son in Rocky Balboa as part of presidential campaign ad in the waning days of the election.
