Trump tweets out doctored photo of his head on Rocky Balboa’s body

Looks like someone’s fixin’ for a fight.

President Trump on Wednesday tweeted out a doctored image of his head superimposed over the body of a chiseled Rocky Balboa, the hard-luck Philly tomato can-turned-champion immortalized on film by Sylvester Stallone.

The “Rocky III” poster-inspired tweet came out as the commander-in-chief was reportedly playing golf at his Florida Club while on Thanksgiving vacation at Mar-a-Lago, according to White House pool reports.

The photo, posted at 10:54 a.m., shows the 6-foot-3, 243-pound president looking straight ahead with a combative look on his face, over an image of Stallone’s ripped, 5-foot-10, 176-pound body, gloved fists at the ready and a championship belt around his waist.

It had no caption.

The White House did not respond to a question about the significance of the photo, though Stallone is known to be a big fan of the president.

“I love Donald Trump,” the actor told Variety for a story on his Rocky spin-off “Creed” in 2016, when Trump was still a candidate.

“He’s a great Dickensian character. You know what I mean? There are certain people like Arnold [Schwarzenegger], Babe Ruth, that are bigger than life. But I don’t know how that translates to running the world.”

The president also alluded to his own purportedly robust health at his rally Tuesday night in Florida, referring to his surprise visit earlier this month to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Maryland.

“Let me tell you, if I didn’t feel great, I wouldn’t be ranting and raving to 21-22,000 people,” he told a packed campaign rally in Sunrise, Fla.

“They said he went into the hospital. And it’s true, I didn’t wear a tie. Why would I wear a tie? If the first thing they do is say, ‘Take off your shirt, sir, and show us that gorgeous chest. We’ve never seen a chest quite like it,'” Trump added.
