Who is Wayne Gretzky? Donald Trump bats for this Canadian to run for Prime Minister as Justin Trudeau could be on the brink of losing power

US President- elect Donald Trump pretty recently suggested that Wayne Gretzky who is the legendary hockey player should eventually run for Prime Minister of Canada while humorously referring to him as the future ‘Governor of Canada’, reported Business Insider.

According to Business Insider, in a Christmas Day post on Truth Social, US President- elect Donald Trump claimed that he spoke with Wayne Gretzky and asserted that he could win a national election without even campaigning. Though, at the same time, in spite of the severe encouragement from Donald Trump, Wayne Gretzky eventually expressed no interest in pursuing a political career.

The comments of US President- elect Donald Trump were actually a part of a broader critique of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau whose government is actually facing a potential instability due to a looming no confidence vote from his coalition partner Jagmeet Singh of the New Democratic Party, asserted Business Insider. This situation could lead to a new federal election in the country of Canada as early as the month of January.


Adding onto that, in his post, US President- elect Donald Trump also reiterated his long standing joke about Canada becoming the 51st US state while proposing significant tax cuts for Canadians if that were to happen, noted Business Insider.

The suggestion has eventually sparked mixed reactions among the public and political commentators with some viewing it as a lighthearted jab at Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau while others express concern over the implications of such rhetoric.
