Voight’s loyalty to Trump was also recognized when the president awarded him the National Medal of Arts in 2019.
Stallone has also demonstrated support for Trump. Recently, he attended the America First Policy Gala in Palm Beach, Florida. During the event, Stallone introduced Trump as the “second George Washington.”
Gibson joined the list of supporters during the 2024 presidential election. He publicly endorsed Trump, stating his concerns about the opposition. In an interview referring to Vice President Kamala Harris, Gibson said, “I know what it’ll be like if we let her in, and that ain’t good.”
