Trump Defends Jaxson Dart on Truth Social, Inviting No. 1 Jersey Seller to White House

Trump used Truth Social to praise Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart as a “WINNER,” attack his critics as “Radical Left Lunatics,” and say, “I’ll see you in the White House.”
The post followed Dart’s May 22 introduction of Trump at a rally in Suffern, New York, reviving a controversy Dart had been trying to move past.
Trump framed the backlash around Dart’s politics as jealousy, pointing to Dart’s No. 1 jersey sales and “millions of dollars” in earnings.
The renewed intervention risks extending tension around Dart inside the Giants after teammate Abdul Carter had objected to Dart’s appearance with Trump before the dispute was reportedly resolved.
