President Donald “Italian Stallion” Trump?

President Trump posts a picture of himself as Rocky Balboa. …Why??

President Donald Trump has posted some weird stuff in the past. Remember covfefe? Well, he may have just topped that. Trump seems to think that he is Rocky Balboa.

We all love Rocky Balboa. My mom practically nursed me on his movies as a kid. He’s America’s favorite underdog! 

Well, it looks like Trump wanted some of the boxer’s limelight. On November 27th, he posted this picture on Twitter:

I almost have no words. Well, if I had no words, I wouldn’t be writing. The only thing “Italian” about Trump is his fake tan. 

This tweet has left me with one question. Why? 

timw_brap from Sick Chirpse suggested in their article that he may have been paying tribute to the Russia/America feud in Rocky VI.

Not a bad guess, but let’s be honest. He definitely isn’t that smart. 

This could be his fantasy body. Remember how his doctor said that he was in perfect shape? The last I checked, Rocky didn’t get into shape by eating fast food every night. 

I think the picture above speaks to the fact that he is not in peak condition. 

This is my theory: 

He probably saw this picture of himself that one of his lunatic fans made and went, “Wow. Melania, look at this picture FOX News took of me! Retweet.”

The best comparison he has with the boxer is that “Italian Stallion” was Sylvester Stallone’s porn star name. I’ll let you make your own connections there.
