Political commentator Van Jones on Monday suggested that President Donald Trump should keep his distance from the professional sports world.

Jones joined CNN anchor Erin Burnett and commentator Gretchen Carlson during a live segment to discuss Trump's appearance at the FIFA World Cup final, where he had an awkward moment standing on the stage as Spain celebrated its win over Argentina and was booed by the crowd.
