Trump said Jaxson Dart is "loved more" despite criticism after the 23-year-old Giants quarterback introduced him at a May 22 rally in Suffern, New York.
On Fox News' "My View with Lara Trump," Trump framed the backlash from left-leaning media, some NFL fans and others as harassment that would only boost Dart's support.
Trump also praised Dart's football future, calling him a quarterback with "tremendous potential" who "moves the team" and could be great if he stays healthy.
The flare-up followed Dart's first public appearance with Trump at a rally for Rep. Mike Lawler, where Giants teammate Abdul Carter had publicly criticized Dart on X.
