Donald Trump says he urged Wayne Gretzky to run for prime minister in Christmas visit
U.S. president-elect Donald Trump says he told Canadian hockey legend Wayne Gretzky he should run for prime minister during a Christmas visit but adds that the athlete declined interest in politics.
"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.
His comment about being governor of Canada refers to Trump repeatedly suggesting the country become a U.S. state, which Ottawa insists is a joke.
Trump added that it would be "fun to watch" if Canadians launched a movement to get the retired hockey player to seek office.
You're viewing a single thread.
Him saying it would be "fun to watch" clearly shows how he just sees politics as entertainment. He's god and the world is his theatre.

And that he sees chaos as entertaining.
Which explains much of what he talks about.
Yes, that too. Since I was doing the God comparison, he's Loki
Loki isn't a moron though
I’m going with a dvrgr, a Norse dwarf. There are hundreds in that pantheon and they are all vile creatures.
Yeah I think this post is very telling. Not new information, of course, but it just says so much about how little this man understands (or cares to understand) what politics even is.
