“Thought this sh*t was AI”: Jaxson Dart’s Donald Trump rally appearance sparks chaos as Abdul Carter calls him out

Nobody told Jaxson Dart that quarterbacks in New York are supposed to stay out of trouble before the season even begins. The second-year Giants QB walked onto a political stage in Suffern, New York on Friday, introduced President Donald Trump at a rally, got called a "future Hall of Famer" with "legs like tree trunks" by the leader of the free world, and then woke up the next morning to find his own teammate publicly questioning his life choices on X. As far as pre-season chaos goes, this one's got everything.Dart, 23, did not ease into this one. He opened his introduction by whipping the crowd into a "Go Big Blue" chant, Giants branding at a Trump rally, sure, why not, before telling the room it was an "honor and privilege" to welcome the 45th and 47th President of the United States to the stage. Trump, naturally, repaid the favour by calling Dart a "future Hall of Famer" with "a lot of talent" and, in what may be the most unexpected athlete compliment of 2026, praised his "legs like tree trunks." Linebacker Abdul Carter, reportedly watching the whole thing unfold from his phone like the rest of us, had a one-sentence verdict ready by Saturday morning. "Thought this sh!t was AI," he posted on X. "What we doing man." Concise. Devastating. Extremely re-tweetable.Here is where it gets genuinely interesting. Dart and Carter are not just teammates, they are the Giants' entire plan for the future. The franchise's first two-round picks from the 2025 draft, hand-picked to rebuild a team that has been searching for an identity for years. Carter went third overall out of Penn State; Dart was taken 25th after the Giants traded up specifically to get him. They arrived at rookie minicamp together, went viral together, and have been inseparable in the Giants' PR narrative ever since. There is even a delightful backstory: Carter put a punishing hit on Dart during the 2023 Peach Bowl, Dart got up, shrugged it off, and led Ole Miss to a 38-25 win. They bonded over the memory when they became teammates. It was all very wholesome. And now Carter is publicly posting "what we doing man?" about his quarterback on the internet, which is a different kind of bonding entirely. The Giants reconvene for OTAs on Wednesday, where both Dart and Carter and a visibly uncomfortable John Harbaugh will almost certainly be asked to explain themselves. Buckle up, Big Blue.
