Jesse Ventura is once again criticizing the presidency of Donald Trump. The WWE Hall of Famer's latest comments came during an appearance on the SpinSisters Podcast. During that appearance, he claimed Ventura claimed that Minnesota would be better served by leaving the United States and becoming a part of Canada.

"I am one that thinks, let me throw this out on your show and we'll get some headlines. How about since Trump dislikes Minnesota so bad, and we're so out of control, let's join Canada?" Ventura said. "Instead of Canada becoming the 51st state of America and lose their healthcare, like they said, they would never do that because they'd lose their healthcare. I'd like to see Minnesota, all of us become Canadians, and make this part of Canada, because it's obvious Donald Trump don't want us."
Ventura has been outspoken with his disapproval of Trump in recent months. His latest comments come at a time when there's significant political dismay in Minnesota and the wider United States. Venutra's comments will undoubtedly split opinion.
Jesse Venture Places Blame for Donald Trump on American Citizens
Interestingly, Ventura has also placed blame for the current political climate at the feet of American citizens. Those comments came during an appearance on Rosemary Barton Live.
"You know, you got to remember the last election was really a simple one. And I blame the United States people for this too," Ventura said. "They're getting what they deserve because the last election was simple. You had the choice of the Constitution or the criminal. And for some reason, they took the criminal. So they shouldn't be surprised at what they're getting. He's a convicted sex offender. He don't pay taxes. Well, you know, he's a draft dodger. Wouldn't serve his country, and yet he stands out there and preaches patriotism."
Ventura had a legendary wrestling career. He spent the majority of that career as a heel (bad guy). Therefore, he will likely have no problem with ruffling some feathers with his political opinion. And is unlikely to stop any time soon.
