Donald Trump says people will have to refer to Sylvester Stallone, Jon Voight, and Mel Gibson as 'Mr. Ambassador'
The incoming president named the three actors as "special ambassadors" to Hollywood earlier this month.

Donald Trump says people now have to refer to Mel Gibson, Sylvester Stallone, and Jon Voight as "Mr. Ambassador."

The incoming president announced the honorific designation on stage at the "Make America Great Again Victory Rally" in Washington, D.C., on Sunday, one day before Trump is inaugurated as the 47th President of the United States.

"Also with us tonight is a great actor, tremendously talented guy, Jon Voight, who's great, and a friend mine," he said toward the end of his hour-long address. "And Sylvester Stallone is here — great guy. And you know I got Mel Gibson, Sylvester Stallone, and Jon Voight to become ambassadors to Hollywood, Calif., to put it back on track. So they're all ambassadors. You have to refer to them as ambassadors, 'Mr. Ambassador.'"

In the hours before Trump's address, Voight made an appearance on the rally stage, vowing that Trump "will make America great again, safe again. We the people will honor our flag again." and praised Trump's victory as the "greatest win of all time — the victory we were all fighting for to save our country, our democracy. I'm so grateful to say that Donald J. Trump is the 47th president of the United States."

but this means Trump and the rest of the states consider California a foreign nation, which is fine by me. We will be happy to rely on our own tax dollars to build our own infrastructure and pay for our own military, etc. but no more money to the USA... we will elect our own congress and president and write our own constitution... we will even pay ourselves to rebuild homes lost in the LA fires. After all, California is the 5th largest economy in the world. We will even pass our own guest worker program so the illegals that show up here can live a legal life and their children born here will be Californian citizens. And we don't have to worry about the rest of the nation that is dragging us back into the hellscape that is Trumplandia. No one is welcome to visit without a current vaccination record. Only green energy deals from now on. Which we could exclude the global CO2 from polluting nations... but we will work with the rest of the world to limit CO2 emissions and impose sanctions on those nations that do emit more CO2 then they can absorb.

If he refers to me as "your majesty," I will reconsider. And I will still never refer to him as "president," with or without the "Mister." I am used to sucking up a lot of pride when I'm in DC, and I ever addressed Newt Gingrich as "Mister Speaker" when he was indeed that. But I will never address Stallone, Gibson or Voight as "Mister Ambassador." In all likelihood, I will never have the misfortune to be confronted with such a situation, so I am not worried about being put on the spot about it. I suppose I could always mumble "Mister Asslicker" and hope they didn't hear me correctly in the crowd.......
