"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."

Trump downplays Yemen group chat fiasco
President Donald Trump was asked if anyone would be fired as a result of a journalist being inadvertently added to a group chat with top administration officials discussing a military operation in Yemen.
"We've pretty much looked into it. It's pretty simple, to be honest," Trump said. "It's not -- it's just something that can happen. It can happen."
Speaking on the use of Signal, Trump said, "It's not a perfect technology. There is no perfect technology."
Trump repeatedly said the information included in the chain was not classified. He did not respond to a shouted question from a reporter on who determined the material involved wasn't classified.
Trump said he will look into security breach
President Donald Trump was asked about the continued use of Signal among government offices and if things would change, and the president said he would look into it.
"It has to deal with security. Are people able to break into conversations and if true we have to find some other form or device," he said.
National security adviser Mike Waltz, who repeatedly tried to change the subject during the presser, added that the White House's legal team and tech team are looking into it.
"We're going to keep everything as secure as possible. No one in your national security team would ever put anyone in danger," he said.
Michael Waltz goes after journalist amid Yemen group chat fallout
President Donald Trump, during a White House meeting with ambassadors, was asked if he was going to change any practices after a reporter was inadvertently added to a Signal group chat with top national security officials discussing a U.S. attack on Houthis in Yemen.
Trump called on national security adviser Michael Waltz to respond. Waltz went after The Atlantic's Jeffrey Goldberg and the media in general.
Waltz claimed he's "never met, don't know, never communicated with" Goldberg. He said they were "looking into him, reviewing how the heck he got into this room."

Appeals courts give Trump administration minor wins
Two Federal appeals courts handed the Trump administration a series of minor wins on Tuesday, temporarily pausing two adverse rulings from lower courts.
The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals temporarily delayed a judge’s order that required the Trump administration to restore the country’s refugee admissions program. While the appeal plays out, the Trump administration can pause refugee admissions for anyone approved for entry since Jan. 20.
The Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals also issued an administrative stay of a court order that week that required the Trump administration to reinstate USAID employees’ access to their email and payments systems. Last week, U.S. District Judge Theordore U.S. District Judge Theordore Chuang found that Elon Musk’s attempt to dismantle USAID likely violated the constitution.
The stay of Chuang’s order applies for two days while the court weighs a longer-term stay.
