WWE Hall of Famer Jesse Ventura is no fan of former President Donald Trump.
Ventura, who achieved success in the world of professional wrestling, got into politics after leaving the industry and went on to serve as the 38th governor of Minnesota from 1999 to 2003.
While Ventura and Trump used to get along well, “The Body” appeared on CNN on Thursday night and ripped into his former friend. He said,
“Here’s the problem. Donald Trump of 2000 is not Donald Trump today. Plain and simple. Back then, he was a Democrat and was pro-choice. Today he’s ultra right, and anti-choice. You know, he ain’t the same guy. And the fact is – Donald Trump – because he changes, he doesn’t ever tell the truth! So no, would I run with Trump? Absolutely not!”
Ventura and Adrian Adonis won the AWA World Tag Team Championships on July 20, 1980. The two men would hold the belts for nearly a year, eventually losing to The High Flyers (Greg Gagne and Jim Brunzell).
Ventura would later go on to sign with the World Wrestling Federation (now WWE), but he left the company in August 1990 after a dispute with Vince McMahon over his image being used to promote a Sega product.
