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.

USDA: Egg prices fall for 5th straight week, but only by 26 cents
The national average wholesale price of eggs fell $0.26, or 8%, to $3.00 per dozen last week, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
It marks the fifth straight week of sliding wholesale prices, although the declines are slowing.
As USDA's Friday report notes, prices fell less dramatically as Easter demand starts to pick up. Shoppers may have an easier time finding eggs at the store and relaxed limits on how many you can buy, but retail prices lag behind wholesale so they’re just now starting to appear cheaper.
“There is a general sense that current price levels, though still relatively high compared to past Easters, offer enough of an attractive contrast to consumers from where prices stood just a few weeks ago to encourage holiday demand," the report states.

RFK Jr. says states can bar people from using SNAP for soda
HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced Friday that the Trump administration would let any state refuse recipients of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) from using the money to buy soft drinks. He made the announcement in West Virginia alongside Gov. Patrick Morrisey, the first governor to say they'll take up the offer.
"The message that I want to give to the country today and to all the other governors is, get in line behind Morrisey and apply for a waiver to my agency, and we're going to give it to you. That's the way we're going to win this," Kennedy said.
Kennedy doesn't have authority over SNAP, which falls under the Department of Agriculture. But he has been the biggest cheerleader for this policy change and collaborated with others, such as Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins, through his work leading Trump's Make America Healthy Again Commission, said Calley Means, a former Kennedy advisor who now works at the White House.
"This is absolutely, absolutely only possible with Secretary Rollins' cooperation, and she's been very clear that she's excited to accept these waivers," Means said.

Vance says Greenland has 'self-determination' but hopes they partner with US over Denmark
Taking questions from Pituffik Space Base in Greenland, Vice President JD Vance was asked if he's conveying the message that the U.S. is serious in its desire to acquire Greenland.
"Well, the president said we have to have Greenland. And I think that we do have to be more serious about the security of Greenland. We can't just ignore this place. We can't just ignore the president's desires. But most importantly, we can't ignore what I said earlier, which is the Russian and Chinese encroachment in Greenland. We have to do more," Vance said.
Vance said the administration "respects the self-determination of the people of Greenland" but argued they'd be better served by the U.S. security umbrella than by Denmark.
"Yes, the people of Greenland are going to have self-determination," Vance said. "We hope that they choose to partner with the United States, because we're the only nation on Earth that will respect their sovereignty and respect their security, because their security is very much our security, as these brave Americans show."
Vance takes aim at Denmark over Greenland
Vice President JD Vance, speaking at Pituffik Space Base in Greenland, went after Denmark, accusing it of not doing enough for the semiautonomous territory.
"Denmark has not kept pace in devoting the resources necessary to keep this base, to keep our troops, and in my view, to keep the people of Greenland safe from a lot of very aggressive incursions from Russia, from China and from other nations," Vance said.
"Our message to Denmark is very simple: You have not done a good job by the people of Greenland. You have underinvested in the people of Greenland and you have underinvested in the security architecture of this incredible, beautiful landmass filled with incredible people. That has to change," Vance added.
The criticisms come after officials in Denmark and Greenland pushed back against Vance's visit. Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said in a post on social media the U.S. is putting "unacceptable pressure" on Greenland and Denmark ahead of the unsolicited visit, adding that the two regions will "resist."
