Donald Trump<\/a> on Wednesday announced \u201cRocky\u201d star Sylvester Stallone<\/a> as a Kennedy Center honoree, but the president made the presentation all about himself, observers complained.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cSly is a pillar of … American popular culture and a Hollywood superstar like few others and one of the biggest names on the Hollywood Walk of Fame,\u201d Trump began normally enough.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Then his vanity took over.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cIn fact, the only one that\u2019s a bigger name on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, they say, is a guy named Donald Trump,\u201d he continued. \u201cI\u2019m on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, too, if you can believe that one. \u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

If this were a bout against Stallone\u2019s fictitious fighter Rocky Balboa, the judges, aka the internet, might have awarded Trump\u2019s ego an ugly victory by decision.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The Kennedy Center ceremony promises to be a mega-MAGA affair. Trump, the center\u2019s chair who fired the center\u2019s entire board and installed loyalists, said he will host.<\/a> He also appeared to tease a possible name change for the complex to \u201cTRUMP\/KENNEDY CENTER\u201d on Truth Social<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
