Donald Trump talks about Jaxson Dart at campaign event for Rep Mike Lawler
The New York Giants quarterback introduced the US President at a campaign event for Rep. Mike Lawler at Rockland Community College in Suffern, New York.“What’s up, what’s up, what’s up. Look, Big Blue Nation, it’s a pleasure to be here,” Jaxson Dart said. “What an honor, what a privilege it is to be here.And without further ado, I’m grateful, I’m honored, I’m pleasured to introduce the 45th and 47th President of the United States of America — President Donald J. Trump.”Donald Trump repeatedly tried to infuse the Giants QB into the conversation throughout his speech. Especially when the president spoke about trying to keep men out of women’s sports, Mallory Wilson of The Hill reports.“Like, I’m looking at Jaxson,” Trump said. “I’d like to know, is there any woman in the audience that thinks they can tackle that guy? Because I’d like to meet you. I’d like to shake your hand.I don’t know, Jaxson, you think you could play against women, okay? Do you think you’d have any problem? I don’t think so. What? Don’t get involved, Jaxson.Don’t get…don’t get involved, Jaxson. Don’t answer that question. No, I’m looking at the legs. He’s this beautiful guy. He’s got legs like tree trunks. This is not a good thing for women. This would not be good. No, it’s no good.”Cybercitizens are taking this comparison to “tree trunks” and conversation to the next level. They seem disturbed by the president’s comments.
Maybe stick to politics
“How are these remarks relevant? I would prefer to watch paint dry than listen to his blithering nonsense,” wrote one user.Another said, “This is just Trump being Trump; complimenting an athlete’s build like he always does with strong guys. The left is reaching again with the creepy narrative.”A post read, “What type of compliment is this? I would hope a woman couldn’t tackle him because he plays in the NFL against men, lol? He can’t even compliment someone right, lol?”One user declared, “That’s a weird thing to focus on, maybe stick to policies instead of commenting on people’s bodies.”A commenter wrote, “He’s completely gross.” Another felt, “Men do not talk about other men like this.”
