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.

The order, title "Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History," directs the vice president and the secretary of the Interior Department to restore federal parks, monuments, memorials and statues "that have been improperly removed or changed in the last five years to perpetuate a false revision of history or improperly minimize or disparage certain historical figures or events."

The order also directs the vice president, who is a member of the Smithsonian Board of Regents, to work to eliminate improper, divisive or anti-American ideology from the Smithsonian and its museums, education and research centers, and the National Zoo.

"I understand and respect his goal to support American workers. But I disagree with him that this is how to help them. With time, it will become apparent that these actions will end up hurting American workers and American consumers," he said.

Carney added, "Our response to these latest tariffs is to fight, is to protect and to build."

Trump admin ordered to preserve Signal chat

A federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to preserve the now-infamous Signal chat related U.S strikes in Yemen.

U.S. Judge James Boasberg ordered during a hearing Thursday afternoon the top cabinet officials named in the lawsuit to retain any messages over Signal between March 11 and March 15.

Benjamin Sparks, a lawyer representing American Oversight, raised concerns that "these messages are imminent danger of destruction," prompting Boasberg to order the Trump administration file a sworn declaration by Monday, March 31 to ensure the messages are preserved.

According to screenshots of the Signal messages published by The Atlantic, the messages were set to disappear after a certain timeframe. Originally, the messages were set to disappear after one week.

Then, according to screenshots of the messages published by the magazine, on March 15 – after Hegseth sent the first operational update – the messages were set to disappear after four weeks.

Judge Boasberg declined, for now, to order the Trump administration to disclose if Signal had been used by the Trump administration in a wider context.

"I don't think at this point that that's something that I would be prepared to order," he said.
