Trump curse blamed for Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart's season-threatening knee injury

New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart will miss an extended period, possibly the season, after an MRI revealed his knee injury is worse than initially thought, prompting online critics to blame President Donald Trump. Dart was injured during Monday night's 28-6 loss to the Los Angeles Rams, with initial exams suggesting a sprained MCL. Sports journalist Ian Rapoport reported Tuesday that the MRI showed the injury was worse than anticipated, leading to the extended absence. Critics cited a May photo of Trump shaking Dart's hand, dubbing it the "Trump curse," which they also blamed for a Knicks playoff loss. Political commentators and MeidasTouch staff made posts joking about the supposed jinx.
