Former Minnesota governor and WWE superstar Jesse Ventura believes that President Donald Trump faked the assassination attempt he faced in the summer of 2024.
Conspiracy theories about the failed attempt on then-candidate Trump's life in Butler, Pennsylvania abounded from the moment the shot was fired, which left only a nick in the now-President's ear.
Speaking on Piers Morgan Uncensored, Ventura - who previously hosted the TruTV series 'Conspiracy Theory with Jesse Ventura' - uttered his belief that Trump faked the shooting in order to portray himself as a hero.

What's JV's FR nick?
Kayfabe but I think Ventura was also a “Truther”.
The long downward spiral of Minnesota politics continues.
Flakes gotta flake.
Does Jesse also think they faked the man in the crowd who was killed by the bullet?
So the man that was killed was also a fake kill...or is claiming that not only did Trump fake his assassination, but that Trump was guilty of murder when he did so?
“Does Jesse also think they faked the man in the crowd who was killed by the bullet?”
In their world Trump would gladly accept the death of a MAGA family man with wife and kids to further some contrived event that works to his benefit.
We should build a wall around Minnesota and starve them out for a few years.
What would have been really shocking is if Jesse Ventura said something that wasn’t crazy.
Ventura’s mouth has always been 100 times faster than his brain
Jesse Ventura may have suffered too many head injuries in wrestling. What a horrific thing for the family of Corey Comperatore to hear from Jesse Ventura. Corey Comperatore died shielding his wife and two daughters from gunfire.
This is outright nonsense, of course. The shooting was no fake. A man was killed behind where Trump was standing. Jesse knows all about fakes though: his so-called wrestling matches. This guy has a screw loose.
Flake is right. I suppose the guy on the roof with the gun who fired the shots was completely faked too? Ventura's all about getting publicity for Ventura. He's accomplished what he wanted out of Piers.
Brain?
Jesse fancies himself an intellectual. It was his character in the WWWF. These conspiracy nuts seem themselves as the smart kids who know the secrets that no one else knows. If you add TDS to that, anything can come out.
He has more loose screws than a hardware store after an illegal delivery driver crashed the truck through the wall.
I don’t believe it. Not sure if the true story, but I do t believe this one. He would have been relying on the utter incompetence of the secret service as well as local law enforcement. I believe there was a conspiracy, but I don’t believe this one.
I think you need to be committed Jesse, for you are obviously quite insane.
Damn. It takes real dedication to be that stupid.
Yup. He's an entertainment industry nitwit.
