Wayne Gretzky sparks liberal meltdown as he parties at Mar-a-Lago with Dustin Johnson and
Hockey legend Wayne Gretzky has sparked a meltdown among liberals after partying at Mar-a-Lago with his family after Donald Trump‘s election win.
Trump secured a second term in the White House last week with a resounding victory over vice president Kamala Harris.
The Republican candidate hosted an A-list bash at his famed Florida residence on election night and guests were treated to a raucous atmosphere as Trump’s victory was confirmed.
Among the guests was Canadian Gretzky, who is widely acknowledged to be the greatest ice hockey player of all time. He was with his wife, Janet Jones Gretzky, son Trevor, model daughter Paulina, and her husband, top golfer Dustin Johnson.
Paulina shared an image of the family posing at the party while Gretzky, 63, was also snapped wearing a white and gold ‘Make America Great Again’ hat.

Janet Jones also posted a picture of Gretzky with a beaming Donald Trump, although it doesn’t appear to be from the party.
She captioned it: ‘Congratulations Mr. President Donald J Trump. You did it, you deserved it, your 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. ay God keep watching over you. Love our family to yours!’
However, the pictures and Gretzky’s attendance at the party have not gone down well with his liberal fans, who took to social media to voice their anger at his political allegiance.
One fan wrote: ‘I’ve been a huge fan of Wayne Gretzky since he entered pro hockey with the WHA with the Racers I have always idolized the man this is very disappointing to see that he would support a man with such low character’.
‘Just because he was a great hockey player doesn’t mean he is a great person. He’s not the only Canadian Hockey “hero” to have lost the plot. If he ever had it to begin with. Sad,’ added another.
A third fan commented: ‘Gretzky was my idol growing up so this stings. A lot.’
Another vented their fury, writing: ‘Disgusting! Sell out ! He better be comfortable over there, Canada doesn’t want him back !’
‘Never meet your heroes,’ wrote another.

‘You have to really question someone’s ethics and logic supporting someone like Trump,’ one user posted.
‘Apparently there is an inverse relationship between hockey skills and intelligence,’ another added.
One said: ‘Few things on earth more embarrassing than Canadian maga weirdos’.
Gretzky was one of several sports stars to support Trump during the election campaign.
He joined the likes of Nick Bosa, Harrison Butker, Brett Favre, Danica Patrick and Jake Paul in backing Trump to beat Harris.
Gretzky played 20 seasons in the NHL from 1979 to 1999, earning the nickname ‘The Great One’ thanks to his remarkable ability.
He is still the leading goal scorer, assist provider and point scorer in NHL history and is the only player in the competition’s history to amass more than 200 points in a single season.
Gretzky’s daughter Paulina is a model and actress who’s married to golf star Dustin Johnson
Gretzky is not the only sporting superstar in the family though with daughter Paulina marrying one of golf’s best players.
Johnson defected to the Saudi-backed rebel LIV Golf circuit for a reported $150million when it erupted onto the golfing scene in 2022.
He won the Masters in 2020, US Open in 2016 and has played in the Ryder Cup five times.
Despite her father and husband’s fame in the sporting world, Paulina is famous in her own right thanks to her work as an actress, model and singer.
The glamorous WAG has featured in movies like Grown Ups 2 (2013), Fame (2009) and Guns, Girls and Gambling (2012) and has also had record deals.
The wedding also included a performance from Kid Rock, who sang a cover of Chris Stapleton‘s ‘Joy of My Life.’
