The New York Giants were already dealing with the sting of a brutal 34–27 overtime loss to the Detroit Lions, but the criticism didn’t stop with the fans or analysts. Within minutes of the game ending, former U.S. President Donald Trump jumped into the conversation — and he didn’t hold back.
Trump took to social media to blast what he called a “crazy and unbelievable decision” by the Giants coaching staff during the final moments of regulation. According to him, the choice not to run the ball, drain the clock, or make the safer play cost New York the momentum they desperately needed.
And he wasn’t alone. Millions of viewers watching the game felt the same confusion as the Giants made a series of questionable calls that opened the door for Detroit to snatch the win — and Jahmyr Gibbs didn’t hesitate to slam it shut.
Trump’s comments immediately went viral, with fans from both sides jumping into the discussion. Some agreed completely, saying the Giants practically “handed Detroit the comeback.” Others fired back, insisting Trump was only adding fuel to a fire that New York already started themselves.
Meanwhile, the Lions locker room was a different world entirely. Players were celebrating, music was blasting, and Dan Campbell was praising the team for refusing to quit. From Hutchinson’s record-setting night to Gibbs’ game-sealing heroics, Detroit proved once again that they thrive in chaos — especially when opponents make mistakes.
As for the Giants?
The noise around the team is only getting louder.
And Trump’s comments just turned up the volume even more.
