Former President Donald Trump praised New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart during a speech at the White House, referring to him as 'very handsome.' Trump made these comments while discussing Dart's political endorsement at a rally earlier this year. Dart is currently sidelined with a season-ending knee injury following the Giants' recent loss to the Los Angeles Rams. Trump claimed Dart's jersey sales skyrocketed after the rally, but this assertion lacks substantiated evidence. Dart's focus remains on recovery as the Giants continue their season without him.
