Giants' Jermaine Eluemunor puts Trump drama to rest: 'Locker room is fine'
New York Giants offensive tackle Jermaine Eluemunor sought to quell speculation about team discord following quarterback Jaxson Dart’s appearance at a political rally.
On Friday, Dart introduced President Donald Trump at a campaign event for Rep. Mike Lawler in Suffern, New York. He greeted the crowd with “Big Blue Nation” and praised the opportunity to present the “45th and 47th President.”
Trump responded by calling the young quarterback a "future Hall of Famer."
The moment drew swift reactions from around the NFL. Giants edge rusher Abdul Carter initially expressed surprise on social media, while former Saints defensive end Cam Jordan offered subtle criticism. New England-based sports writer Ben Volin suggested the action had divided the locker room.

Eluemunor directly addressed the narrative in responses on X.
Later on Saturday, Carter clarified that everything was good with Dart after the teammates spoke privately.
Eluemunor’s comments underscore a desire to move past the brief public exchange and refocus on football as the Giants prepare for the upcoming season under head coach John Harbaugh.
