The fallout from the New York Giants’ loss to the Detroit Lions is still echoing across the sports world — and now even former President Donald Trump has jumped into the conversation. After the Giants dropped another close game, Trump publicly blasted the team for what he called a “crazy” and “unbelievable” coaching decision that helped Detroit walk away with the win.
According to Trump, the questionable call — one that fans have criticized heavily since the final whistle — made absolutely no sense in the moment. He didn’t hold back, saying the Giants practically “handed the game” to Detroit with their late-game decision-making. And as expected, his comments immediately set off a firestorm online, with Giants fans frustrated, Lions fans amused, and neutral NFL fans debating whether he was wrong… or whether he said what everyone else was thinking.
What makes the moment even more dramatic is the timing. The Giants were fighting hard to stay competitive, Jaxson Dart was giving everything he had, and the momentum was shifting. Then came the call that changed everything — and opened the door for Detroit’s comeback. Trump pointed straight at that moment, calling it “one of the worst decisions I’ve seen in a long time.”
For Lions fans, it’s just another chapter in an already chaotic season filled with wild endings, viral moments, and unforgettable controversy. But for the Giants, the criticism from such a high-profile voice only piles onto a growing list of questions about the direction of the team.
One thing is clear: the football world is buzzing, and once again, the Detroit Lions are at the center of the storm — this time with Donald Trump adding fuel to it.
