President Donald Trump has spoken out for the first time about the drama in the New York Giants locker room from Jaxson Dart appearing at a recent rally for the current Commander-in-Chief. And it is exactly what you would expect from the soon-to-be 80-year-old.
The Giants’ starting quarterback became a major topic in NFL and political circles last week when he introduced President Trump at a rally in New York. In these politically divisive times, that was more than enough reason to bring a lot of attention to the young QB. However, when his teammate, Abdul Carter, denounced the appearance publicly, it looked like there might be trouble at the Giants facilities.
Yet, over the last few days, the two 20-something NFL players and their teammates have come together to work out their differences and show that, despite differing political views, people can still be friends and have healthy relationships at work. It is something that should be celebrated at a polarizing team in United States history.
Donald Trump calls Jaxson Dart ‘WINNER’ in Truth Social rant
Well, President Trump has given his thoughts on the recent drama in the Giants locker room via a new post on Truth Social, and it’s safe to say he didn’t celebrate that the teammates worked out their issues.
“Thank you Jaxson! It was great being with you. I know you’re taking some heat from the Radical Left Lunatics who are jealous of you, me, and everyone who surrounds us but, I also know that your Jersey also went to Number One, and you’re making Millions of Dollars so, YOU ARE A WINNER — THEY ARE ALL LOSERS. I’ll see you in the White House! President DJT”

On Friday, during the Giants’ OTAs, Carter was asked about the Trump-related divide between him and Dart last week. The 2025 first-round pick’s response was all about working together despite their differences.
“Jaxson is one of our leaders. He’s the face of our franchise. He not only represents himself and what he does, but he represents all of us, and that goes for anybody who wears a Giants uniform,” he said. “But if he chooses to align himself with a man like President Trump, it’s my responsibility, based on what I believe and what I stand on, to not only show my teammates that I’m against that, but to show the world.
“And that doesn’t mean that we have to spread hate. It doesn’t mean that me and Jaxson hate each other, or we have beef,” he added. “I sit next to Jaxson every day, every team meeting, we’re close, we talk. As long as we make sure we have the same goal as a team and our goals are in line, which they do, I feel like that’s all that matters.”
