President-elect Donald Trump has suggested that Canadian hockey legend Wayne Gretzky consider running for the position of Prime Minister of Canada, which he jokingly referred to as “soon to be known as the Governor of Canada.”
“I just left Wayne Gretzky, ‘The Great One’ as he is known in Ice Hockey circles. I said, ‘Wayne, why don’t you run for Prime Minister of Canada, soon to be known as the Governor of Canada – You would win easily, you wouldn’t even have to campaign.’
He had no interest, but I think the people of Canada should start a DRAFT WAYNE GRETZKY Movement. It would be so much fun to watch,” Trump said on Truth Social.
Earlier in the month, Trump said that making Canada the 51st state of the United States would significantly reduce costs for Canadians, who would save on taxes and military protection.
On December 10, Trump humorously referred to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as the “governor” of the “Great State of Canada” amid tensions over the incoming US president’s threat to slap tariffs on goods from the neighboring nation.
You mean like Imran Khan, the footballer? A sports figure who also entered politics…
Look what happened to him when the PTB could no longer control him!
Nah. My pick, ‘Freedom Convoy’ organizer Tamara Lich.
Trumps not really making a good impression so far…..maybe he should focus on the mess back home…………The rest of us are tired of hearing “what the US thinks”……
