Donald Trumpf Says He Urged Wayne Gretzky to Run for Prime Minister in Christmas Visit [View all]

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.
