“What are we doing?” Giants star questions Jaxson Dart’s Trump endorsement in viral post

Jaxson Dart’s appearance alongside President Donald Trump at a campaign rally in New York has generated a lot of reactions online from fans and media. But one of the more notable responses came from inside the Giants locker room.

Abdul Carter’s blunt post on Jaxson Dart goes viral

Second-year edge rusher Abdul Carter posted a brief but striking reaction on social media that quickly went viral, questioning his teammate’s decision to take part in the event.

“Thought this sh!t was AI. What we doing, man?” Carter wrote on X.

In most NFL locker rooms, disagreements between players, especially over off-field appearances, tend to stay behind closed doors. Carter’s post broke from that norm, not because it was long or detailed, but because it was public, immediate, and unfiltered.

Dart, the Giants’ 2025 first-round quarterback, had described the moment as an “honor” while introducing Trump in Suffern, New York. The appearance itself was widely circulated and quickly became a hot topic.

The Giants are entering a crucial development phase, with Dart expected to grow into the franchise quarterback and Carter positioned as a key defensive cornerstone. That makes any visible disconnect between the two more notable than it might be in a veteran locker room.

Giants focus remains on football

Despite the noise, the Giants’ internal focus remains unchanged heading into the season. Dart is expected to lead the offense under head coach John Harbaugh, while Carter will be counted on to anchor the pass rush in a defense looking to rebound. Whether this moment becomes a bigger talking point will depend on what happens next on the field, not online.
