After the previous mention of Wayne Gretzky “Governor of Canada”, President Donald Trump declares the NHL legend “free agent.”
Justin Trudeau announces his plan Resigned as Prime Minister of Canada Earlier this year, after Trump called on Canada to become the “51st state”, prompted Trump to ask Gretzky whether he wanted to become the country’s “governor”.
However, Trump said in a truth-fact social post on Wednesday that his “friend” was “a bit “low-key” about Canada still being an independent country, rather than becoming a precious and beautiful 51st state.”

So, the “great man” is now on the market.
“Wayne Gretzky is a fantastic guy! They call him, ‘The Great One,’ and he is. He could run for any political office in Canada, and win. Wayne is my friend, and he wants to make me happy, and is therefore somewhat ‘low key’ about Canada remaining a separate Country, rather than becoming a cherished and beautiful 51st State, paying much Lower Taxes, a Free and Powerful Military, NO TARIFFS, and having a Booming Economy,” Trump wrote on Wednesday.
“Wayne and Janet, his wonderful wife, Love Canada, they can only support Canada, and anything else that pleases Canadians and Governor Justin Trudeau.
“He supports Canada the way he deserves, even if it is not as good as it is part of the world’s greatest and most powerful country, the good of America’s ‘America!”
