Did Donald Trump call Abdul Carter a 'fool' for criticizing Jaxson Dart's rally appearance? Here's the truth
A viral X post claimed President Donald Trump responded to New York Giants star Abdul Carter through a Truth Social post after he called our Jaxson Dart.
Jaxson Dart’s appearance at President Donald Trump’s New York rally on Friday sparked mixed reactions, including criticism from one of his own teammates over the warm introduction he gave before Trump took the stage.
Abdul Carter publicly reacted to Jaxson Dart’s rally appearance on X, reposting the clip and sarcastically said if it was AI-generated because of how shocking it looked. “thought this sh*t was AI, what we doing man,” the New York Giants linebacker wrote.
Now, a viral post on X has claimed that President Donald Trump responded to Abdul Carter through his Truth Social account. The X account FootballCravee shared a post saying, “President Donald Trump weighs in on the Abdul Carter post,” alongside a screenshot that appeared to resemble an official Truth Social post from Trump.
The screenshot read, “Abdul the FOOL - thats what people are calling him and they may be right. He’s got more posts about Jaxson Dart meeting the president than sacks on the field.”
The post mentioned, “A lot of talking, very little production - get in the gym, get stronger, get tougher… because if this continues, you will be shipped to Canada’s FAKE football league quickly. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”
Does Trump really respond to Abdul Carter over Dart’s rally appearance?
However, the post was identified as coming from a parody account, despite the screenshot showing more than 18.7K reposts and over 94K likes.
The viral X post also carried a reader-added context note stating, “The account sharing this is a parody account posting fabricated content; no such post appears on President Trump's Truth Social.”
One user even asked Grok AI to verify the authenticity of the post. Grok's response read, “No, this isn't a real post from President Trump.** The screenshot is fabricated satire from the parody account FootballCravee. There's no record of Trump posting that on Truth Social or X, and news coverage today only discusses Giants LB Abdul Carter's actual reaction to teammate Jaxson Dart introducing Trump at a rally.”
Another user also mocked those believing the screenshot was genuine, commenting, “Scary how many people think this is real.”
Earlier on Friday, when Dart appeared at d Trump’s New York rally, he praised the Giants quarterback extensively and also made several bizarre remarks comparing his physique.
