Jesse Ventura Slams Trump as “Draft-Dodging Coward,” Hints at Minnesota Governor Run
In a recent development, former Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura strongly criticized President Trump, labeling him a “draft-dodging coward” during a visit to his alma mater, Roosevelt High School. Ventura, a Vietnam veteran, was responding to the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement operations in Minneapolis, which have included a fatal shooting by an ICE agent and the use of chemical irritants. Ventura voiced support for the high school’s stance against the actions and hinted at a potential return to politics, stating he may run for governor again after the current governor announced he will not seek re-election. Ventura previously served as governor from 1999 to 2003 and has been critical of both Republican and Democratic parties.
