Donald Trumpf Says He Urged Wayne Gretzky to Run for Prime Minister in Christmas Visit

[C0RI0LANUS]

This is an undated post of the two schmucks.

US president-elect Donald Trumpf says he told Canadian hockey legend Wayne Gretzky during a Christmas Day visit that he should run for prime minister of Canada.

“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.

1. Gretzky hates Canada?.........................

[C0RI0LANUS]

2. Dunno, but he loves Trumpf, though.

After giving my friend the once-over in the Martini Bar in Manhattan many years ago, "The Great One" refused to give her an autograph. That was all we needed to know about him.

3. Trump doesn't do politics. He endorses and uses brands. Know-nothings run the world. /nt

[malaise]

4. This is not effin funny

5. "Soon to be known as the governor of Canada."

If the goal is to make Canadians hate the US, Trump is doing a good job.

[C0RI0LANUS]

22. Hi Irish Dem: The Canadians know most Americans are decent folks, but Trumpf is certainly doing his best to divide us.

[Irish_Dem]

25. Countries may have given Americans the benefit of the doubt the first time around with Trump.

Hi Corio.

But the second time I am not so sure about.

Especially since Trump is ramping up very ugly and dangerous rhetoric.
Americans elected this moron knowing exactly what he is.

There are four long years ahead of us.

I don't think we can count on continued good will at the end of those four years.

[C0RI0LANUS]

30. Hi Irish Dem: I trust the holidays are going well for you.

You raise great points.

But Canadians and our NATO partners know that Trumpf eked by in 2024 because the anti-war Democrats stayed home (like in 1968).

Many of the Western countries have been dealing with RW agit-prop and Russian espionage for years. The UK suffered Brexit because of it and the RW are gaining in Germany.

But the "Thousand Year Reich" lasted thirteen miserable, devastating years. The world and America must endure four horrific years of Trumpf/Putin/Musk and the incalculable damage they will do. On the geo-political stage, NATO and the EU will step up, while China will be a wildcard.

I don't foresee the European masses hating all Americans carte blanche-- just the MAGAts now and in four years.

Let's see what's going to happen.

33. Good points, but..

It is good to know that the other democracies understand out plight, that Russia has been interfering in our elections
and the majority of Americans are not to blame. Yes of course Europe has been the victim of the same Putin psy-ops
programs as the US.

But we shall see if that understanding and good will extend to invasions, damage to economies, pandemics, etc.
Patience can wear thin. Especially if the US MAGAs start to cross borders and infiltrate their populace and government.

I was in Canada this summer and I understand enough French to pick up some anti-American sentiment.

Yes let's see how this unfolds. We are only in the beginning of the movie.

Yes holidays are going well. Hope the same for you.

6. Have you ever seen one of those gang-related cop shows where the perp is caught

as he's about to snip off the fingers of an enemy with pruning shears? Just wondering.

[oasis]

7. It seems "janetgretzky" has overdosed on kool-aid.

“The world’s a better place to have you as our leader, proud to be an American, etc. etc.

[DeeDeeNY]

27. Ugh. I have her exercise video.

There is no way I ever use it again now that I've seen this.

[bucolic_frolic]

8. Interesting that earlier this week CEO of Tilray

CEO of Tilray, Canadian cannabis and craft beer company, said that he believed Trump would legalize weed in the US. Almost sounds like a grifting/swap in the works. If that went through, cannabis generation would be co-opted by it. Trump would be placating them. Trump is playing Canada.

9. Gretzky being a MAGAt is one of the most disappointing things for me.

I grew up a huge fan of his and always admired him right up until I saw him at a Nuremberg rally.

A huge personal disappointment.

[GoCubsGo]

14. Yup. I just lost every bit of respect I had for him.

This sickens me.

[Buckeyeblue]

15. The great one is really not that smart

And except for his bright smile, he has the charisma of a bag of shit. I don't think the Canadians would go for that.

[ProfessorGAC]

26. Same Here

It disappoints me greatly.
His wife, too.

[Ping Tung]

10. 2 dumb pucks swoon over each other.

[Disaffected]

11. Finding out Gretzky is a Trump fan.

What a way to start the day.

21. Barf.

Oh well, Gretzky was always a bit of a dim-bulb anyhow so not too surprising..

23. The Gretsky family were wealthy landowners in Tsarist Belarus and supported Nicholas II.

12. I noticed the name "Kay McEnany"--possibly related to...

...Trump's former press secretary, Kayleigh McEnemy...er...McEnany? (Maybe not, either, just wondering).

[LetMyPeopleVote]

13. Gretzky as a candidate makes as much sense and Herschel Walker running for office

[C0RI0LANUS]

24. Perfect analysis.

[Aristus]

16. Oh fuck. Gretzky is a Trumpster?

[underpants]

29. Yep. Seen a couple photos of him with Trump.

[True Dough]

31. They've golfed together

a few times too.

[City Lights]

17. Gross. nt

[sakabatou]

19. Too many pucks to the head?

[Prince99]

20. Add a PGA golfer

Not surprised, add Dustin Johnson to the list of idiots. Multiple PGA majors golf winner to the picture as well. Not shocking all golfers lean this way.

[underpants]

28. Because Herschel went so well?

[True Dough]

32. Gretzky's long-standing most career goals record

is under threat, but it's by Alex Ovechkin, who has sung the praises of Putin in the past, so it's a rock and a hard place.

Unfortunate that hockey's top scorers are ding dongs!
