‘Where’s his scar?’ Watch former Gov. Jesse Ventura suggest Trump FAKED his assassination attempt
Former Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura, who is also an ex-professional wrestler, is now voicing his doubts about the 2024 assassination attempt on Donald Trump, saying the president could have faked the incident.
Ventura discussed the matter on “Piers Morgan Uncensored,” suggesting the shooting in Butler, Pennsylvania, during the presidential campaign could have been a wrestling-style “blade job,” when some intentionally cuts himself to provoke bleeding.
“You ever hear of a blade job?” Ventura asked.
“A blade? What, you think it was fake?” Morgan replied.
“I don’t know. Where’s his scar today?” Ventura asked.
“Somebody died, literally, sitting behind him,” Morgan noted, referring to 50-year-old firefighter Corey Comperatore, who was shot to death at the campaign event.
“I don’t know, you know. Come on, Piers,” Venture replied. “You’re gonna tell me this guy’s a big hero now?”
“I thought that day he was, yeah,” Morgan said.
“Yeah, well, then he accomplished what he wanted out of you guys,” Ventura added.
Morgan concluded: “No, I think you can be heroic on one day, and you can be less heroic on others. But if you ask me, was he heroic when he got shot? Yeah. I think those that try to pretend he wasn’t actually shot or anything, it’s ridiculous.”

Trump was struck by a bullet on his ear when he turned his head, and subsequently attended the Republican National Convention with a bandage on his ear.
Nearly two years after the assassination Butler attack, federal officials have revealed little information about the shooter Thomas Crooks, who was fatally gunned down at the scene. The FBI still has not determined his motive.
