“I just left Wayne Gretzky, “The Big One in ice hockey circles. I said, “Wayne, why don’t you run for Prime Minister of Canada, you’ll soon be known as Governor of Canada. If you win easily, you won’t even need to run a campaign,” Trump wrote.

“He wasn’t interested, but I think the people of Canada should start a DRAFT WAYNE GRETZKY Movement. It would be fun to watch!”

Trump’s post came to the post of Prime Minister of Canada Justin Trudeau faced pressure to resign. Earlier this month, Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland resigned from Trudeau’s cabinet. At the same time, opposition leader Jagmet Singh called on Trudeau to resign.
