Donald Trump continues to build his cabinet of people he trusts as we get closer to his second Presidential campaign.
On Christmas Day, the president-elect took to Truth Social and brought up hockey legend Wayne Gretzky.
Gretzky, who is widely acknowledged to be the greatest ice hockey player of all time, is known to be a huge Trump supporter and was one of several sports stars to support him during this year’s election campaign.
Donald Trump floated NHL legend Wayne Gretzky as a potential candidate to replace Justin Trudeau as Canada’s prime minister.
“I just left Wayne Gretzky, ‘The Great One’ as he is known in Ice Hockey circles,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
“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,’” the president-elect said.
Donald Trump has been going after Trudeau for weeks by referring to Canada as a prospective US “state” and the prime minister as its “governor.” He believes Canada has been ripping off the US over trade.
According to Trump, Gretzky apparently has “no interest” in launching a campaign to replace Trudeau as PM.
“He had no interest, but I think the people of Canada should start a DRAFT WAYNE GRETZKY Movement,” Trump wrote.
“It would be so much fun to watch!” he added.
In another post on his site, Trump mockingly wished Trudeau a “Merry Christmas” while referring to the prime minister as “governor” again.
Wayne Gretzky’s Wife Shares Post From Donald Trump
President-elect Donald Trump mocked Canada by suggesting that ex-hockey star Wayne Gretzky be a candidate for prime minister “or governor.”
Gretzky was seen at an election night party for Trump last month.
Janet Gretzky – Wayne’s wife – got the message.
She shared Trump’s Truth Social post on her Instagram Stories and posted the link.
Unfortunately, Trump already revealed that Wayne had zero interest in the job.
