President-elect Donald Trump on Wednesday trolled Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau by promising to cut Canucks’ taxes if they agree to become “our 51st state,’’ while urging them to draft NHL great Wayne Gretzky to lead the country.
“I just left Wayne Gretzky, ‘The Great One’ as he is known in Ice Hockey circles,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
“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,’” the president-elect said
Trump — who thinks Canada has been ripping off the US over trade — has been taunting Trudeau for weeks by referring to Canada as a prospective US “state” and the prime minister as its “governor.” ***
Undeterred, the 78-year-old president-elect Wednesday pushed Canadians to coax the hockey hall-of-famer and Brantford, Ontario, native into mounting a campaign.
“He had no interest, but I think the people of Canada should start a DRAFT WAYNE GRETZKY Movement,” Trump wrote.
“It would be so much fun to watch!” he added.
Trump wished Trudeau a “Merry Christmas” in another post while mockingly referring to the prime minister as “governor” again.

Good will toward men
And troll thy commie neighbor
Trump 2:14
p
Send Pelosi up there. She’ll drink Canada dry.
bump
Glad it is a troll, the last thing we need is another twenty blue senators.
All I can say is...keep up the good work! Everyday knowing Trump took the WH is better than the last!
If Canada becomes our 51st state, Alaska will lose its nickname—it will no longer be the Big State, because Canada is much bigger.
Believe me, we don’t want Canada and its problems.
I love how there are a lot of people that think Trump is for real — he’s clearly trying to troll Trudeau into resigning or otherwise lowering his chances for re-election. We don’t want Canada as the 51st state. Giving them even a handful of Congressional Reps and 2 senators is dangerous. Then we’d also have to kick out all of their “refugees”.
Outside of some sort of armed conflict, it will never happen... yet there are a bunch of folks on TV tomorrow calling him a madman who is threatening to take over Canada... with loads of Putin and Hitler references. He’s making these “pundits” the joke. I think it’s hilarious.
Send Pelosi up there. She’ll drink Canada dry.
><
That’s good. And send Kamala with her and they’d fight for the last drop.
I think we only want Alberta.
At this rate, by the end of February, Trudeau will resign, flee to Cuba, and apply for asylum.
Trump has been having lots of fun today. 😂
Not Ontario.
The prairies provinces.
Support Quebec independence.
“ Believe me, we don’t want Canada and its problems.”
I’ll take Alberta
LOL! Trump is having waaaaaayy too much fun with this!
I don’t want Canada as part of the usa
We don’t need more liberal states and reps and senators.
Oilberta maybe. All of Canada? No thanks.
Seems like the provinces ought to become states.
Yeah...he just started the negotiation
