Trump gushes over Giants' Jaxson Dart, says he wondered if QB was a 'male model'

"First of all, I wished I looked just like Jaxson," Trump said. "I said, 'Is he a male model?' He's a handsome guy, like a beautiful guy, conservative guy. He said, 'I love you, sir.' I didn't know he was doing it. He's potentially a great quarterback. He's a young boy. He just really started, but when he's in a game, he moves the team.

"I didn't know him but I watched him a little bit but he really moves the team. Tremendous potential. If he stays healthy, he's gonna be great."

He said that he won the popular vote and received a ton of support from counties across the U.S.

"Some things are bigger than football, and this is one of those things," Carter told reporters on Friday. "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.

"But if he chooses to align himself with a man like President Trump, it's my responsibility based on what I believe or what I stand on, to not only show my teammates that I'm against that, but to show the world."

"This was a unique opportunity, you know, being asked and given the opportunity to introduce the President of the United States," Dart said. "My thinking was pretty simple in the fact of, you know, I've always loved this country. I have extended family members who have fought wars. I have two uncles who have retired from the Air Force Academy and served themselves. And I even have a great grandfather who served as Secretary of Treasury at some point.

"So the president position has always been a position that I've well respected, regardless of political affiliation, regardless of political party and, you know, my intentions were just that."

The 2026 season, truly, cannot come soon enough.
