Jesse Ventura will not run for President: “Not now and not ever”

Jesse Ventura has been a rumored Reform, Libertarian and/or Independent candidate for president in 2000 (perhaps before that too, although we haven’t been able to verify this), 2004, 2008, 2012 and 2016. He has yet to ever actually run for President, but articles speculating about whether he will or not, and under which party label if any, continue to draw a lot of attention at IPR and elsewhere. However, today IPR reporters learned from a source very, very close to Ventura who spoke to us on conditions of anonymity and revealed that “he will never, ever, ever run for president…not unless he wants me to cut off his pecker and balls and feed them to the dogs. I will bet you any amount of money you want to bet he will not run, ever.”

Ventura had a long and illustrious career as a Navy SEAL, professional wrestler, actor, and Mayor of Brooklyn Park, MN, before surging from 7% in September polls to become Governor of Minnesota under the Reform/Independence Party label. Since leaving office, Ventura has been notable for writing books, hosting a conspiracy themed TV show, living at least half of each year in Mexico, and suing the widow of “American Sniper” Chris Kyle.

Our source told us that (s)he also has reliable information that Donald Trump will never, ever run for president either, but (s)he did not say who his/her source was.

    I think you’ll get your wish.

    I really, really hope this is true. I also hope it’s true that Donald Trump will never run.

    “April Fool’s!”

    The source I allegedly talked to may or may not exist (I’ll reveal the answer tomorrow), but I’m pretty sure the information in it is essentially accurate, either way. On the other hand, there’s a lot of foolishness about Ventura running for president, which isn’t going to happen, the other 364 days of the year.

    They are really working hard to find good articles that “might” be true.
