“I just left Wayne Gretzky, ‘The Great One’ as he is known in ice-hockey circles,” Trump posted on his Truth Social platform Wednesday afternoon.
“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,” Trump wrote.
His comment about being governor of Canada refers to Trump repeatedly suggesting the country become a U.S. state, which Ottawa insists is a joke.
Trump added that it would be “fun to watch” if Canadians launched a movement to get the retired hockey player to seek office.
He doesn’t even know how a Prime Minister gets the job, does he? (You’re elected to the House of Commons in your riding (district), you’re the head of your political party, and your party either wins a majority in the House or a wins plurality and you’re able to form a ruling coalition with another party.)
Buddy, he doesn’t even know how the government works in his own country.
Dude doesn’t know how umbrellas work, much less any system of government.
Trump lets the world know about the one Canadian he can name without help.
Oh my fucking god I cannot
This is so goddamn exhausting already, and he’s not even president yet. The next 4 years (if we’re lucky) are going to take a decade off my life.
This is the first time, as a Canadian kid in the 80s, I’ve wanted Wayne to throw gloves.
Gretzky has gone full fascist. That’s why Trump wants him.
Wayne is a Republican through and through, he wouldn’t do anything to Trump.
Gretzky is a maga hat wearing Buddy of Trump’s. He’s a piece of crap. May Canadians finally learn to stop worshipping sports stars as if they weren’t meat head morons. He’s a disgrace to the maple leaf
Did he say anything about his penis size?
I bet that P Little Trump P is pretty butt hurt that daddy chose someone else instead of him.
Maple millhouse.
He would have to be the nominee for the party first.

Wait was Wayne Gretzky a rich kid?
Edit: of course, daddy built an entire rink in the backyard, where they would also play baseball and lacrosse on their farm.
It’s not that impressive to be great when you start young and have rich parents. Can’t believe I let people convince me Gretzky was noteworthy. He’s not Gukesh lol
Edit: ok Canada must be different, because apparently Gretzky was poor and they just happened to have a farm and could spin up golf tournaments for charity. Sounds like a good story.
