NFL fans react as Donald Trump gets introduced by Giants QB

New York Giants starting quarterback Jaxson Dart put himself in a complex position on Friday. After a solid rookie season, Dart brought hope to Giants fans, even though they only won four games in the 2025 season.

With free agency and the draft in the books, the Giants look like a potential candidate to contend in 2026, led by Dart and new coach John Harbaugh.

However, the relationship between the quarterback and the fans could get strained ahead of the upcoming season. On Friday, journalist Aaron Rupar shared a video of Dart introducing none other than Donald Trump before a New York rally.

Plenty of fans reacted to the video to criticize the quarterback’s decision.

“Here we go, now Dart is the most hated football player in the world,” one fan said.

“Never going to another Giants game they lost so much $$$$ after this clown went and sold his soul,” another fan said.

“As soon as you bring in politics I will be a JETS fan Inly wish Dart would read this,” another fan said.

The criticism didn’t stop there. Fans turned against Dart.

“As a Giants fan I am sick to my stomach,” one fan said.

“He got the Trump curse. Giants 0-16 season incoming,” another fan wrote.

“Added to the hate watch let’s go,” another fan added.

Jaxson Dart, New York Giants have renewed expectations for 2026 NFL season

After a disappointing start to the season by Russell Wilson, Brian Daboll replaced the quarterback with the rookie out of Ole Miss. Jaxson Dart played 14 games in 2026, going 216 of 339 for 2,272 yards and 15 touchdowns with five interceptions.

He created a terrific duo with running back Cam Skattebo, although the fellow rookie saw his season cut short due to injury. Dart, Skattebo and wide receiver Malik Nabers are the future of the Giants.

After a productive offseason, they could compete against anybody in 2026. Matt Nagy will lead the offense from the sideline, which adds to the expectations.
