Jesse Ventura has gone full war mode on the Trump family.
After questioning the 2024 assassination attempt on Donald Trump, the WWE legend is now taking aim at Barron Trump.
Piers Morgan Uncensored has likely gained a surge of new listeners over the past 24 hours, thanks to the high‑profile statements made by Ventura during his latest appearance.
First, the WWE Hall of Famer and former Minnesota governor revisited the 2024 assassination attempt, 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 used to fake an injury. When pressed by Morgan, Ventura noted that he saw no visible scar from the gunshot wound Trump reportedly received, further fueling his doubts.
But questioning the assassination attempt wasn’t the only headline‑making moment. Ventura also called on President Donald Trump to send his son Barron to serve in the military.
A Vietnam War veteran, Ventura criticized Trump for avoiding service and argued that Barron, now 20, should step up where his father didn’t. The topic arose amid 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 hold back, 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 in the military, despite decades in the public eye. Ventura also referenced Trump’s own draft history, noting he avoided the Vietnam War due to bone spurs, and added that neither Trump’s father nor grandfather served either.
Addressing concerns that Barron’s height could disqualify him, Ventura cited former NBA star David Robinson, who served in the military before his basketball career.
“Tall? David Robinson did it,” Ventura said.
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, served in 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.
