Trump Suggests Canadians Should ‘DRAFT WAYNE GRETZKY’ to Run for Prime Minister Amid Trudeau Upheaval

Should Canadians decide to replace Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, President-Elect Trump has an idea of who can do so.

The soon-to-be 47th president of the United States took to social media on Wednesday and suggested that hockey great Wayne Gretzky replace the embattled current prime minister.

“I just left Wayne Gretzky, ‘The Great One as he is known in Ice Hockey circles,” Trump wrote. 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’s suggestion comes amid mounting pressure on Trudeau to resign following the resignation of his Finance Minister, Chrystia Freeland, earlier this month.

The resignation of a prominent Trudeau cabinet member did not escape Trump’s attention, who needled the Canadian prime minister on social media.

“The Great State of Canada is stunned as the Finance Minister resigns, or was fired, from her position by Governor Justin Trudeau,” Trump wrote on Truth Social, once again floating the idea that Canada should become part of the United States.

“Her behavior was totally toxic, and not at all conducive to making deals which are good for the very unhappy citizens of Canada. She will not be missed!!!”

Gretzky is a staunch supporter of President-Elect Trump and has appeared with the president-elect at his luxury resort, Mar-a-Lago.
