Trump continues trolling Canada and PM Trudeau, suggests NHL legend Wayne Gretzky as Canadian PM

President-elect Donald Trump threw his support behind NHL legend Wayne Gretzky as the next prime minister of Canada as he continues his trolling of Canada and its current Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.  

Trump wrote on Truth Social that Canadians should start a draft Wayne Gretzky movement.

"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,’" Trump wrote. 

"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 post came as Trudeau has faced pressure to step down. Earlier this month, Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland resigned from his cabinet and the opposition leader, Jagmeet Singh, called on Trudeau to resign, according to Fox News. 

Trump also weighed in after Freeland resigned. "The Great State of Canada is stunned as the Finance Minister resigns, or was fired, from her position by Governor Justin Trudeau," Trump posted to his Truth Social.

"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!!!"

Trump also argued that Canada should become a U.S. state because the taxes of its citizens “are far too high, but if Canada was to become our 51st State, their Taxes would be cut by more than 60%,” reports the New York Post. 

Gretzky was at Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence in Palm Beach, Florida, after Trump’s presidential election win wearing a "Make America Great Again" cap.
