Former Minnesota governor and WWE legend Jesse Ventura has made a controversial claim regarding the assassination attempt on Donald Trump in July 2024. Appearing on Piers Morgan Uncensored on Tuesday, Ventura suggested the incident was staged to make Trump appear heroic.
Ventura described the event as a 'blade job', a term from professional wrestling where performers deliberately cut themselves to simulate injury. He questioned the lack of a visible scar on Trump's ear, asking, 'Where's his scar today?'
Piers Morgan challenged Ventura's assertion, asking if he believed the shooting was fake. Ventura's comments have sparked debate, with many dismissing the theory as baseless. The Trump campaign has not responded to the remarks.
