They call him 'The Great One,' and he is. He could run for any political office in Canada, and win," Trump wrote on Truth Social."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."Gretzky hasn't exactly kept his political thoughts hidden over the last few months. On election night in November, he was at Trump's Mar-A-Lago resort in Florida. In December, Trump suggested Gretzky should run for prime minister, and...
