President Donald Trump incorporated political messages into his Christmas Day communications, focusing on potential changes to Canadian governmental structures while addressing current leadership.
The former president’s holiday message included references to his recent meeting with hockey legend Wayne Gretzky, whom he encouraged to pursue political office. Despite Trump’s suggestions, the sports icon showed no interest in governmental leadership.
