“I don’t know what was on his mind”: Bomani Jones questions Donald Trump's "incredibly risky" move as POTUS gets booed at Lions vs. Commanders game

Donald Trump became the first sitting U.S. president in nearly half a century to attend a regular-season NFL game. He was in attendance at Northwest Stadium as the Detroit Lions defeated the Washington Commanders on Sunday. When shown on the jumbotron alongside House Speaker Mike Johnson late in the first half, the crowd erupted in boos.

The negative reaction intensified during halftime when Trump participated in a military enlistment ceremony, reading the oath of service. Sports commentator Bomani Jones delivered a scathing assessment of Trump's controversial attendance.

"I don't know if Trump is courageous or simply oblivious, but just throwing it out here," Jones said on Monday, via "The Right Time With Bomani Jones." "You guys have any idea who the number one employee is in Washington DC? The federal government. Have you talked to any of your friends who work for the federal government? "They are not a good time right now. And Donald Trump stood before those people and he read some proclamation or something to him and they was booing him. Man, that was an incredibly risky move. I don't know what was on his mind when he decided to do that."

Reports have emerged about Trump's desire to have the Commanders' planned $4 billion stadium named after him. It is set to be built on the former RFK Stadium site.

Jones added that wanting a stadium named after oneself shouldn't be something to aspire. He cited RFK Stadium in Washington and the old John F. Kennedy Stadium in Philadelphia, which were named in honor of politicians who were assassinated. Jones joked that having a stadium named after someone usually means tragedy struck and warned that it’s better not to wish for such a legacy.

Amon-Ra St. Brown pulls off Donald Trump celebration

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown celebrated a touchdown with the "Trump dance." U.S. President Donald Trump was present at the Commanders-Lions game on Sunday.

After catching a nine-yard touchdown in the first quarter, St. Brown looked up toward Trump's suite and did the dance. He was joined by teammates Jameson Williams, Sam LaPorta and David Montgomery in the celebration.

"I don’t know how many times the president is going to be at the game, so just decided to, you know, have some fun and do his dance," St. Brown told reporters during the postgame presser.

Trump was in attendance as part of the NFL's "Salute to Service" festivities. He left the stadium before the game ended.
