Replying to a video of Dart introducing Trump, linebacker Abdul Carter wrote on X, “thought this sh– was AI, what we doing man.”
Former Giants placekicker Lawrence Tynes then responded to Carter’s X post, stating, “Calling a teammate out publicly for his political views and to get attention is nasty work.”
The second-year quarterback spoke at a campaign rally for Rep. Mike Lawler and even tried to lead the crowd in a “Go Big Blue” chant before introducing the President.
“What’s up, what’s up, what’s up. Look, Big Blue Nation, it’s a pleasure to be here,” Dart told the crowd. “And without further ado, I’m grateful, I’m honored, I’m pleased to introduce the 45th and 47thpresident of the United States of America: President Donald J. Trump."
After the introduction, Trump called Dart a “future Hall of Famer,” and also said that the second-year quarterback has a “lot of talent,” is a “beautiful guy,” and has “legs like tree trunks.”
New Orleans Saints defensive end Cam Jordan responded to an X post with “sounds bout ole miss,” alluding to Dart’s alma mater. Carter and Dart were both first-round selections of the Giants’2025 draft - the former Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year went third overall, and the former First-team All-SEC quarterback went 25th.
Carter started all 17 games as a rookie, tallying a stat line of 43 tackles, four sacks, two forced fumbles, and two fumble recoveries.
Dart took over the starting quarterback role for the team in week four against the Los Angeles Chargers. He threw for 2,272 yards, 15 touchdowns, and five interceptions. Dart also ran for 487 yards and nine touchdowns.
