If you were worried at all about the state of the movie industry, then fear not: Donald Trump has a plan to make Hollywood great again.

In the Jimmy Kimmel Live! clip above, the host shares the incoming president's recent Truth Social post announcing that Jon Voight, Mel Gibson, and Sylvester Stallone will serve as his "special envoys" to the industry. All three men have previously endorsed or supported Trump. Gibson has faced a litany of allegations over his career, including anti-semitism, homophobia, and domestic violence, while Stallone has been accused of sexual assault.

"Wow, Braveheart, Rambo and the Midnight Cowboy: He summoned the three horsemen of the Apocalypto to save us. In other words Trump saw The Expendables 3 on his plane last night and was like, 'Hmm, I need those guys to help,'" says an unimpressed Kimmel. "And who better to be Trump's eyes and ears than 86-year-old Jon Voight?"
