New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart has been ruled out for the rest of the regular season after suffering a serious knee injury against the Los Angeles Rams. The injury has revived online jokes about a so-called “Trump Curse”, based on the belief that athletes praised by Donald Trump soon experience misfortune.
Dart, 23, introduced Trump at a Republican rally in New York in May, where the President complimented his physique and described his legs as “tree trunks”. The Giants have opted for surgery, although the article notes that some people and teams previously praised by Trump have subsequently performed well.
