Mike Tyson has endorsed Trump.

Actually, out of the list of actors and sports figures, I only recognise the names of Jenna Jameson and Mike Tyson. 

I also heard that Stallone has said that Trump is a good guy.

:o  You don't know Rocky Boiman??

Never heard of him.

Kidding. He lives up the street from me.  Ex-NFL player; he does a local radio show these days.  Was surprised to see him on the list.  Not because of the Trump support, but because of his obscurity.

More actual news stories:

Warren on Twitter: Trump is a loser, wannabe tyrant
Donald Trump on Elizabeth Warren: 'Who's that, the Indian?'

Oh Donald, Donald, Donald, the preferred term is "Native American."

If nothing else Trump has succeeded in making our ruling class look ridiculous1..  According to the pundits Trump is a carnival barker who appeals mostly to under-educated poor white people whom we should all pity; yet he's reduced legal scholar, former Harvard professor and US Senator Elizabeth Warren to making childish insults on Twitter.

1.)  Yes, I know, ha-ha they didn't need any help with that.
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

Tax Revenue from Legalized Marijuana Exceed Expectations In Oregon

Where do Clinton and Trump stand on legalizing pot?

Dunno, but Trump is a anti-smoking and a teetotaler...basically, he has talked about being against any addictive substances/habits in general.

Google indicates his comments on legalization are of the "it should be decided by states" flavor.

The section of international politicians endorsing him is really charming:

Geert and Le Pen is the only one I recognize.  I like Geert :)

what's the expected increase in health care costs?
I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

That's good.  Trump then has a more moderate drug stance than Cruz and Kasich?

It's Donald fucking Trump.  Do you expect him to have a coherent policy on anything?

Going back over the years you can find quotes to suggest he supports legalization, or that he hates drugs.  Who knows what his policy is.  He didn't get to where he is now by  having policies.

Some fun names here - Dugin in particular is a riot, especially sporting the retro-Unabomber look.

It's been a while since a major US Presidential candidate received strong support from the National Eurasian Bolsheviks.

Touche.  I hear he's also a big fan of eminent domain.

He was also endorsed by the "Rent Is Too Damn High Party", which I only knew from meme so far.
