The National Post reports in its Friday, Nov. 8, edition that it would appear Wayne Gretzky can be added to the list of high-profile professional athletes and sports figures who support U.S. president-elect Donald Trump. The Post's Kenn Oliver writes that
The Great One attended an exclusive A-list event at the Republican nominee's Mar-a-Lago resort in West Palm Beach, Fla., on Tuesday night, rubbing shoulders with the likes of Tesla founder and X-owner Elon Musk and UFC president Dana White as team Trump awaited results. Mr. Gretzky, was joined by his wife, Janet Gretzky, who later congratulated Mr. Trump on Instagram.
She wrote: "You did it, You deserved it, you earned every bit of it. The world is a better place to have you as our Leader, Proud to be an American. Thank you for being such a great friend. May God keep watching over you." She ended her note with, "Love our family to yours!"
The post, scored by a version of God Bless America, included a reel of photos, one of which shows Mr. Gretzky leaning in to speak to Mr. Trump at some point during the event, presumably after news outlets began declaring him elected as the 47th president.
