There were reports in the media that 70-year-old Stallone had been approached about a possible top arts-related position in the Trump administration, possibly to head the National Endowment for the Arts. It seems no formal offer had been put up but there were "overtures".
However, the Rambo star has said that he felt he could be more effective if he tried to bring national attention to returning military personnel so that they can find gainful employment, suitable housing and financial assistance which these heroes deserve. Of course, he has not elaborated on how he would go about his mission.
The National Endowment for Arts is an independent federal agency that offers support and funding for projects in the art and, Donald Trump has recently had meetings with other celebrities that included Leonardo DiCaprio and Kanye West.
