‘I’m Sorry, I’m Trying Not to Vomit on the Air’: Van Jones Can’t Take Any More Trump Praise on CNN

CNN commentator Van Jones had heard more than enough from network colleague David Urban on Monday’s AC360.

Host Anderson Cooper led a discussion regarding President Donald Trump’s suggestion that he could serve a third term as president. The 22nd Amendment to the Constitution prohibits this, and amending the document requires the approval of two-thirds of both houses of Congress and three-fourths of the states. Nonetheless, former Trump adviser Steven Bannon has claimed that “there’s a plan” to re-elect Trump in 2028.

Urban, a former Trump campaign adviser, dismissed Democrats’ concerns about such a prospect, saying it is not serious.

“Steve Bannon mysteriously talks about, ‘We’ve got this plan.’ I don’t know what kind of plan you could have,” Urban said before noting that amending the Constitution is the only way Trump could serve again. “[I]t seems pretty clear.”

Urban then pointed to remarks from Trump earlier in the day, in which the president said Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marc Rubio would be great Republican presidential nominees.

“And listen, let no one be fooled to think that Donald Trump is going anywhere,” Urban continued. “He may not be president, but he’s gonna be sitting at Bedminster or in Palm Beach. Can you imagine if you are President JD Vance, and every day you wake up to a slew of Truth Social posts and tweets about Donald Trump and reviewing your performance from the night before? Trump will remain large on the stage in American politics and global politics until he does not remain anymore. I mean, the guy is the Colossus at Rhodes and will remain that way.”

“Van, how seriously do you take these comments?” Cooper asked.

“I’m sorry, I’m trying not to vomit on the air listening to this from Urban,” Jones replied, prompting Urban to crack up.

“Are you envisioning the Colossus of Rhodes?” Cooper asked.

“Just the whole thing, man,” Jones responded. ” But look, I take it seriously just because there doesn’t seem to be very much respect for the Constitution, for rule of law from this White House and from his people.”
