Jaxson Dart Injury Could Be Season Ending, Giants Fans Point Finger at Trump
Jaxson Dart’s season ended after a knee injury, and fans on social media blamed a supposed Trump curse tied to past team and athlete controversies.
- New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart will miss the remainder of the season after suffering MCL and meniscus damage during Monday's "Monday Night Football" game against the Los Angeles Rams on September 21. The Record reported Dart will undergo surgery to repair his left knee.
- Following the injury, fans on social media have revived claims of a 'Trump Curse' after Dart introduced President Donald Trump at a May 22 rally. The quarterback faced teammate backlash for the appearance, which drew criticism from Giants outside linebacker Abul Carter.
- The Giants lost 28-6 against the Rams with Dart sidelined. Backup Jameis Winston completed 11/27 passes for 111 yards, throwing one interception and no touchdowns as the offense struggled without its starter.
- Fans cite past events as evidence of the alleged 'Trump Curse,' including the Knicks losing Game 3 of the NBA Finals and the Commanders' 44-22 defeat to the Detroit Lions in November 2025. Both losses occurred after Trump attended the respective games.
- While the injury is medical, the 'Trump Curse' narrative persists among fans who believe the President's involvement in sports brings misfortune. The Giants now face a difficult season under Winston following Dart's significant loss.
