“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.

    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.

      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.

      And that he sees chaos as entertaining.

      Which explains much of what he talks about.
