The United States President Donald Trump continues to remain in the bad books of one WWE legend.

For the longest time, Jesse Ventura has been a strong critic of Trump, often calling him out over the prevailing social issues in the country.

During a recent interview with British journalist Piers Morgan, the former Minnesota Governor called Trump’s induction into the WWE Hall of Fame ‘a disgrace.’

In the same interview, he took a dig at the promotion’s ex-owner, Vince McMahon, stating that he inducted Trump into the HOF only because he protected him from the investigation involving ‘sexual stuff.’

Apparently, during the same interview, the topic of Donald Trump’s assassination attempt at a campaign rally near Butler, Pennsylvania, came up.

A man named Thomas Crooks, who was shortly thereafter killed by a Secret Service counter sniper team, was found guilty of firing the shot at Trump. At the rally, another man lost his life, while two other attendees were critically injured.

Speaking about the incident, Jesse Ventura claimed that the whole thing was staged, asking Piers if he knew what a blade job was.

When the host asked if he thought the attempt was fake, the 74-year-old said, “I don’t know. Where’s his scar?

White House Responds To WWE Legend’s Claim About Donald Trump

Upon listening to Jesse Ventura’s response, Piers Morgan cited the death of an attendee, further refuting the claim.

Elsewhere, the White House issued an official statement via US Weekly about the claim made by the WWE Hall of Famer.

On that tragic day in Butler, Pennsylvania, we tragically lost an American hero, Corey Comperatore, who selflessly laid down his life to protect those around him,” spokesperson Davis Ingle said. “President Trump will never forget Corey and his beautiful family.

On that dark day, God spared President Trump’s life by a miraculous millimeter. President Trump is standing stronger than ever as he continues to ‘fight, fight, fight’ for the American people. Only a fool would believe otherwise. [H/T: Fightful]
