Jesse Ventura, a former WWE star and governor of Minnesota, recently made a bold claim about the 2024 assassination attempt on President Donald Trump.
During the March 24 episode of Piers Morgan Uncensored, Ventura discussed several political topics with host Piers Morgan. Ventura brought up the July 2024 shooting at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, where Trump’s ear was grazed by a bullet. He then suggested that Trump faked the assassination attempt to portray himself as a hero leading up to the 2024 Presidential Election.
Morgan said at one point, “To be fair to Trump, when he got shot, he got back up and said, ‘Fight, fight, fight!'”
To that, Ventura replied, “Oh yeah, right, right, right. You ever hear of a blade job?” The former WWE star referred to when a wrestler cuts themselves on purpose during a match to make it look like the opponent injured them.
“A blade?” Morgan said incredulously. “What, you think it was fake?”
Ventura insisted, “I don’t know. Where’s his scar today?”
After Morgan pointed out that someone was shot and killed by the shooting at the rally, Ventura said, of Trump, “Come on, Piers. You’re gonna tell me this guy’s a big hero now?”
Morgan confirmed that he thought Trump was heroic, to which Ventura declared, “Well, then he accomplished what he wanted out of you guys.”

Elsewhere in the interview, Ventura — also a former U.S. Navy SEAL — called for the president to send his own son, Barron Trump, 20, to fight in the war in Iran.
“A war is justified if you’re willing to send your kids,” he explained. “Because how can you send somebody else’s kids to a war if you won’t send your own? So I’m calling right now for Barron Trump, Donald Trump’s son … enlist in the United States military right now.”
He added, “Do something your father didn’t have the courage to do. Do something your father didn’t have the patriotism to do. I want to see a Trump in the military.”

To think Trump would have someone set up on a roof approx 100 yards away, someone that is not even a marksmen, and shoot a piece of the top of your ear off, is absalutly absured.JV is nuts, always has been. he was ok and funny in the fake product of wrestling. but then again it fits who he is he always be fake.JV should also know Barron is 6-9 a inch to tall to join the service, I remember when Jessie was bragging about his Navy Seal experence and mention if your to tall you can not serve mainly because you would be at a disadvantage in a lot of areas. and it was a good thing . now that Barron is the Presidents son I guess we needs to throw that out because he is Trumps son, that is how nutty Jessie is. Jessie also coached his sons football team and many of the boys said he didnt know much about football, many of the assistants had to correct him, in much of his play calling.
