Jesse Ventura has gone full war mode on the Trump family.
After questioning the 2024 assassination attempt on Trump, the WWE legend is now taking aim at Barron Trump.
Piers Morgan Uncensored has likely gained a flood of new listeners over the past 24 hours, thanks to the high-profile statements made by his latest guest, Jesse Ventura.
First, the WWE legend and former Minnesota governor Jesse Ventura revisited the 2024 assassination attempt on Trump, expressing skepticism about the incident.
He suggested it may have been staged and even joked about a possible ”blade job,” a wrestling term for a self-inflicted cut to fake an injury. Pressed by Morgan, Ventura pointed out that he saw no visible scar from the gunshot wound Trump allegedly received, further fueling his doubts.
But as if questioning the 2024 assassination attempt on the president wasn’t enough, he also called on President Donald Trump to send his son Barron to serve in the military.
A Vietnam War veteran, Ventura criticized Trump for dodging service and argued that Barron, now 20, should step up where his father didn’t. The reason the topic even came up wasn’t gentle — it unfolded against the backdrop of rising tensions between the U.S. and Iran, a conflict that has already claimed the lives of at least 13 American service members
Ventura didn’t mince words, calling Trump a “draft-dodging coward” and challenging him to put his own family on the line.
”Well, Barron, you can change that. Enlist in the United States military right now, do something your father didn’t have the courage to do,” he said.
He pointed out that none of Trump’s children, including Barron, have served, despite decades in the public eye. Ventura also highlighted Trump’s own draft history, noting the president avoided the Vietnam War draft due to bone spurs, while his father and grandfather never served either.
Addressing concerns that Barron’s height could disqualify him, Ventura referenced former NBA star David Robinson, who served in the military before pursuing basketball.
”Tall? David Robinson did it,” Ventura said, using him as an example of overcoming similar challenges.
Jesse Ventura served in the U.S. Navy from December 1, 1969, to September 10, 1975. During his active duty, he operated in the Mekong Delta, was part of an amphibious ready group in the South China Sea, and was based out of Subic Bay in the Philippines. His service earned him the Vietnam Service Medal, the Republic of Vietnam Campaign Medal, and the Navy Expeditionary Medal.
