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.

Trump asked if Americans should buy cars now to avoid higher prices after his latest tariffs
After imposing tariffs against foreign automakers this week, ABC News Senior Politics Correspondent Rachel Scott asked Trump, "Should Americans buy cars now if they want to avoid higher prices?"
"No, I don't think so," Trump said. "I think you're going to have a country that's going to boom."
"Remember, there are no tariffs, all you have to do is do your work right here," he added. "If you have your company here, if you build your product, make your product, make your car or whatever it is you're making, no tariffs."
Trump said he's also proposing to congressional leaders that if someone borrows money to buy a car made in the U.S., they should be able to deduct the interest payment on the loan for tax reasons.

Trump says he'll 'absolutely' follow through on Canada tariff threat
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney informed President Donald Trump on Friday that his government will impose retaliatory tariffs against the U.S. on April 2, when the Trump administration is set to implement a fresh round of sweeping levies.
Trump had said on Thursday that he'd fire back with large-scale tariffs "far larger than currently planned" if Canada teamed up with the European Union to push back against his tariffs.
Asked on Friday by ABC News Senior Political Correspondent Rachel Scott if he would follow through on that promise, Trump said: "Absolutely."
Trump went on to call his conversation with Carney earlier Friday "very, very good" and said, despite current tensions due to his administration trade war, the U.S. is "going to end up with a very good relationship with Canada and most countries."
