Trump rushes to defend embattled NFL quarterback: 'They are all losers'

Donald Trump may or may not have done NY Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart any favors with a post on Truth Social on Saturday morning.

The NFL rookie who appeared in 14 games in his first year in the league on a team that finished 4-13 -- leaving them in last place in the NFC East but with one more win than the hapless NY Jets -- has drawn fire for introducing Trump at an event in New York last week.

Dart’s participation caught some team officials — and his teammates — by surprise, with ESPN reporting, “ … the original plan for last week did not involve Dart introducing the president. But the plan changed along the way. Coach John Harbaugh said he only knew that Dart was supposed to meet the president.”

Dart's presidential introduction set off a firestorm of criticism, which led Trump to jump into the fray on Saturday.

Posting a picture of the quarterback with his girlfriend, Marissa Ayers on Truth Social, the president gushed, “Thank you Jaxson! It was great being with you. I know you’re taking some heat from the Radical Left Lunatics who are jealous of you, me, and everyone who surrounds us but, I also know that your Jersey also went to Number One, and you’re making Millions of Dollars so, YOU ARE A WINNER — THEY ARE ALL LOSERS. I’ll see you in the White House!”
