The Giants star told a cheering crowd it was an ‘honor’ to introduce the president

New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart was on hand Friday to briefly introduce President Trump as he campaigned in the Empire State on behalf of Rep. Mike Lawler. “What an honor, what a privilege it is to be here,” Dart told the crowd, after leading them in a Giants chant.

“I’m grateful, I’m honored,” he added, then introduced Trump, who gave the player a warm handshake. Onstage, Trump riffed about the Giants star, who was drafted in 2025. The president called him a “future Hall of Fame-er” and a “beautiful guy” who has “got legs like tree trunks,” and he invoked the NFL QB as he railed against transgender people playing in sports leagues corresponding with their gender identity.

"I'm looking at Jaxson,” Trump said, “I’d like to know, is there any woman in the audience that thinks they can tackle that guy? Because I'd like to meet you. I’d like to shake your hand.

I don’t know. Jaxson, you think you can play against women okay?... Don’t get involved Jaxson.
