Overview
- Video from a May 22 rally in Suffern, New York shows quarterback Jaxson Dart briefly introducing President Trump at a campaign-style event for Rep. Mike Lawler.
- During his speech the President repeatedly praised Dart and referenced him while pushing policy about banning transgender athletes from competing in women’s sports.
- Linebacker Abdul Carter reposted the clip on X on May 23 with the comment “thought this sh– was AI, what we doing man,” prompting widespread fan and media reaction.
- Hours later Carter posted that he and Dart had spoken and that “Me & JD6 are good,” while teammates such as Jermaine Eluemunor publicly downplayed any locker-room split.
- The incident intersects with the Giants’ fragile offseason picture — both players were 2025 first-round picks, the team finished poorly last season, and on-field work resumes next week, leaving room for the story to resurface if chemistry or performance become issues.
