Trump heaps praise on Giants’ Jaxson Dart: ‘Future Hall of Famer’

Donald Trump sees big things for Jaxson Dart.

The Giants QB introduced the president to an audience at Rockland Community College in Suffern as Trump promoted tax cuts he signed last year.

“I want to thank Jaxson Dart, this is going to be a future Hall of Famer in my book,” Trump said, pointing at Dart. “Thank you, thank you Jaxson. Lot of talent.”

He went on to call Dart a “beautiful guy” who has “legs like tree trunks.”

Dart, the second-year Big Blue star, whipped the crowd into a frenzy when he walked out on stage to Survivor’s “Eye of The Tiger.”

“Big Blue nation, it’s a pleasure to be here,” he said. “I gotta start this off with a ‘Go Big Blue.’”

The packed house was happy to oblige, joining in a quick cheer for the Giants.

Fans hope Trump’s prognostication about their QB is right.

The Giants franchise, starved for a long-term solution at QB since Eli Manning’s retirement in 2020, traded up to select Dart with the No. 25 pick in the 2025 draft.

He quickly showed the promise that has Big Blue fans salivating.

After taking over for Russell Wilson in Week 4 last season, he guided the Giants to their first win of the season against the Chargers, en route to a 4-8 record as a starter over 14 appearances.

Along the way, he threw for 2,272 yards with 15 touchdowns and five interceptions, adding 487 rushing yards and nine scores on the ground — including an NFL QB record five straight weeks with a rushing TD.

A city consumed with Knicks fever has only heightened Dart’s expectations.

“We’re all supporting the Knicks right now and what they’re doing. It’s been really cool to see,” he told The Post’s Steve Serby this week.

“We want that for ourselves as well.”
