WWE Star Jesse Ventura Makes Bold Claim About Donald Trump Assassination Attempt

Jesse Ventura called on Barron Trump to enlist as a test of leadership and questioned the legitimacy of the July 2024 assassination attempt on President Trump.

  • On Tuesday, former Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura appeared on Piers Morgan Uncensored, claiming the 2024 assassination attempt on President Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, was a 'blade job.'
  • A 'blade job'—a wrestling term for intentionally cutting oneself to provoke bleeding—was used by Ventura to characterize the July 13, 2024, shooting that wounded Trump's ear, alleging the event was 'fake.'
  • Host Piers Morgan countered the conspiracy theory by noting firefighter Corey Comperatore was killed at the rally, while Ventura questioned why Trump lacks a 'visible scar today.'
  • Calling President Trump a 'draft-dodging coward,' Ventura urged his son, Barron Trump, to enlist in the military to justify the current conflict in the Middle East.
  • The White House dismissed the 'outlandish accusations,' with a spokesperson stating only a 'fool would believe otherwise' regarding the assassination attempt, which investigations confirmed occurred in July 2024.
