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 calls on House to take up DC funding

"We need to clean up our once beautiful Capital City, and make it beautiful again. We will be TOUGH ON CRIME, like never before," Trump said in the post.

Vances visit US military's Pituffik Space Base in Greenland
Vice President JD Vance and second lady Usha Vance arrived in Greenland for a scaled-back trip after backlash to their visit, which originally was set to include cultural events but now is focused on a stop at the U.S. military's Pituffik Space Base.
They briefly greeted service members stationed there as they ate lunch. Vance noted he was the first vice president to visit Greenland, saying it was "a pretty cool thing," before giving an overview of their visit.
"We're talk to the command and some of the Guardians about what exactly the base does and all the important ways it contributes to national security. We're going to get a briefing, of course, about, you know, what you guys do every day," Vance said.
"And then we're going to talk just about, as you've heard, we have some interest in Greenland from the Trump administration, so we're going to talk a little bit about that with our friends in the media," Vance added.
