Trump suggests Wayne Gretzky run for Prime Minister of Canada sparking mixed reactions

President-elect Donald Trump suggested that Canadian hockey legend Wayne Gretzky should run for Prime Minister of Canada. He made the comments on his Truth Social platform after a Christmas visit with Gretzky, proposing a "DRAFT WAYNE GRETZKY Movement." Trump's remarks have drawn mixed reactions. Supporters in the MAGA community praised the idea, while others criticized it as a distraction from current Canadian politics, particularly the conservative leader Pierre Poilievre. This continues Trump's ongoing feud with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, as he has previously suggested Canada could become a U.S. state and threatened new tariffs on Canadian goods.
