Trump says 3rd term isn't a joke, despite term limit
"A lot of people want me to do it," Trump told NBC on Sunday.
President Donald Trump did not rule out seeking a third term for president when asked by NBC on Sunday, saying, “There are methods which you could do it."
“A lot of people want me to do it,” Trump said Sunday. “But, I mean, I basically tell them we have a long way to go, you know, it’s very early in the administration.”
Meanwhile, tariffs on imported autos are to go into effect on Wednesday. While economist predict Trump's tariffs will raise prices in the U.S., his tariffs czar, Peter Navarro, predicted they would result in tax cuts: "Tariffs are tax cuts, tariffs are jobs, tariffs are national security, tariffs are great for America," Navarro told Fox News.

Appeals court overturns block on USAID dismantling
A federal appeals court overruled Friday a lower court's order that blocked Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency from dismantling the U.S. Agency for International Development.
A panel of three judges on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit stayed a lower court's ruling, finding that the Trump administration is likely to prove that the DOGE's effort to dismantle USAID did not violate the Constitution.
"While defendants' role and actions related to USAID are not conventional, unconventional does not necessarily equal unconstitutional," Judge A. Marvin Quattlebaum Jr. wrote in a concurring opinion.

Trump sues federal unions
The Trump administration filed suit Thursday against the largest federal union that represents government employees in what it describes as an "affirmative" effort to invalidate collective bargaining contracts as President Donald Trump hopes to bolster his legal standing in laying off thousands of federal workers.
The lawsuit filed by the Justice Department on behalf of eight other government agencies argues that collective bargaining agreements with affiliates of the American Federation of Government Employees hinders the agencies' abilities to perform critical national security work.
It also comes as the administration has been frustrated by multiple court rulings that have reversed or halted its efforts to lay off broad swathes of government workers.
