Former Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura hinted at a possible White House bid as an independent during an interview over the weekend, while harshly criticizing President Trump.
Speaking on Fox Los Angeles "The Issue Is," the onetime wrestling star and outspoken Minnesota pol said he would wait until the pool of presidential candidates dwindles further before possibly enterting the race.
“I may be doing things behind the scenes right now,” Ventura said, winking to host Elex Michaelson. “You gotta wait for it to get down to two, then you come in if you’re going to come in.”
“I have that voice in the back of my head that says to me, ‘If not me, then who?'" he added.
He advocated for voters to elect an Independence Party candidate, lest the country grow even more polarized.

He’s better than the entire slate of Democrat contenders combined.
I thought he had moved to Mexico.
Probably got bored when nobody recognized him as ‘former governor or former wrestling champ’.
Jesse has an absurdly high opinion of himself and his relevance. I do not share his favorable opinions of himself, and I suspect very few do.
Yep...quite a statement! Trump should encourage him to run!
I’m not surprised Faux News reported this.
They still think Jeb was a good idea
A fate worse than death for America. A major Loon in the White hut. 🤮
nope-
look up his STAR witness testimony at the Mongols motorcycle
club trial this past summer-
1. he has remained a FULL patched member even while being
governor of Minnesota- Claims he did not know of ANY of
their criminal activities!
2. his chief of staff was an avowed homosexual -
arrested in solicitation-
I cannot believe he was allowed to be a UDT member -while being with the mongols- this guy is one messed up duuuude
Didn’t he resign as the governor of Minnesota because he couldn’t take the criticism he was getting from the media and his voters? If I remember correctly, he wasn’t around very long before he bailed.
More circus entertainment. Great.
Washed up old POS . I wish Chris Kyle had beaten him to death with a bar chair back in the day.
I know his former UDT/SEAL commander. He tells me Janos was an A-hole 1st Class when he was with the Teams, Full of himself and full of s#it.
Jesse Watters is better qualified than Jesse Ventura.
Unlike Trump, Jesse has a sex tape.
Poor Jesse. Never relevant, even in Minnasota! The Swartzenegger, of the north. Just as dumb and just as incompetent.
He deserved an a$$ kicking in my view.
Wasn’t he an Actor/Jester?
Oh, the irony... back in 2000, it was Ventura who convinced Trump to try to seek the Reform Party nomination in his first foray into Presidential politics!
Ever since Jesse Ventura sued “American Sniper” Chris Kyle and his estate he has been persona non grata. Nothing undoes that.
Amen to that!
Go for it. It will only keep the Democrats from winning,
