Trump appoints Hollywood icons as special ambassadors to help revive struggling entertainment industry

• President Donald Trump named Mel Gibson, Sylvester Stallone and Jon Voight as “Special Ambassadors” to Hollywood.
• The three Hollywood A-listers have been named to help restore Los Angeles’ entertainment industry to its “former glory” and address its decline in recent years.
• The industry faces significant hurdles, including the impact of the lockdowns, major labor disputes, the rise of streaming platforms, liberal bias and global competition, all of which have disrupted traditional filmmaking and distribution models.
• Critics warn the appointment of special ambassadors may not be enough to address the deep-rooted issues with the industry, like the profitability and convenience of streaming and the rise of competing entertainment markets.

President Donald Trump has appointed Hollywood legends Mel Gibson, Sylvester Stallone and Jon Voight as “Special Ambassadors” to the entertainment industry.

The announcement, made on Trump’s Truth Social platform, positions the trio as key figures in his mission to revive Hollywood amid a perceived decline in the entertainment industry.

Trump’s decision to tap these three actors reflects his ongoing efforts to reshape industries he believes have strayed from their roots. In his statement, Trump described Hollywood as a “great but very troubled place” that has lost significant business to foreign competitors over the past four years. He declared that Gibson, Stallone and Voight will serve as his “eyes and ears,” tasked with bringing Hollywood back “bigger, better and stronger than ever before.” (Related: Hollywood is dead: Here’s why no one cares.)

The announcement comes at a time when Hollywood is grappling with multiple challenges, including the lingering effects of the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, labor strikes and the rise of streaming platforms that have disrupted traditional filmmaking and distribution models.

Additionally, the industry has faced criticism for its perceived liberal bias, which has alienated a significant portion of the American public. Trump’s decision to appoint Gibson, Stallone and Voight, known for their conservative views, as ambassadors suggests a deliberate effort to bridge the divide between Hollywood and many Americans.

Gibson, Stallone and Voight known for their Christian faith and conservative values

Gibson, whose career has been marked by both acclaim and controversy, expressed surprise at the appointment but pledged to fulfill his duties. Gibson, who recently lost his home in the devastating Los Angeles wildfires, quipped about the possibility of receiving an ambassador’s residence as part of the role. His recent appearance on the “Joe Rogan Experience” podcast, where he spoke candidly about his faith and the challenges facing the Catholic Church, underscores his commitment to conservative values.

Stallone, best known for his iconic roles in the “Rocky” and “Rambo” movie franchises, has also been vocal about his Christian faith and conservative leanings. In a recent interview, Stallone revealed that he is a survivor of abortion, a deeply personal revelation that aligns with his pro-life stance. His comparison of Trump to George Washington during the president’s post-election victory speech further cements his loyalty to the incoming administration.

Voight, a longtime Trump supporter and outspoken conservative, has been a fixture in Hollywood for decades. Voight, who starred in classics like “Midnight Cowboy” and “Pearl Harbor,” has repeatedly praised Trump as the greatest president since Abraham Lincoln. In a statement, Voight lamented the decline of Hollywood’s golden age and expressed optimism that Trump’s leadership could restore the industry’s former prestige.

While the appointments have been celebrated by Trump’s supporters, critics question whether the trio can effectively address the complex issues facing Hollywood. Industry analysts point out that the challenges are deeply rooted in technological shifts, rising global competition and changing consumer preferences – issues that may be beyond the scope of celebrity ambassadors.
