In a recent statement, President-elect Donald Trump has suggested that Canadian hockey legend Wayne Gretzky should run for Prime Minister of Canada in the upcoming 2025 election. During a Christmas visit, Trump reportedly told Gretzky, known as "The Great One" in ice hockey circles, that he should consider entering politics to unseat current Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Trump added that it would be "fun to watch" if Canadians initiated a "DRAFT WAYNE GRETZKY" movement. He also referred to Canada as "soon to be known as the Governor of Canada" and hinted at the possibility of Canada becoming the 51st state of the United States, promising lower taxes for Canadians if this were to happen. Trump's comments appear to be part of his ongoing criticism of Trudeau and have sparked discussions about Gretzky's potential political aspirations and the relationship between the two countries.
