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 targets WilmerHale law firm in fight against 'Big Law'

Trump on Thursday signed a presidential proclamation that suspended the security clearances of those employed by the law firm Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr, saying it engages in "partisan representations to achieve political ends."

The order also requires that any government contractor doing business with WilmerHale disclose it and terminate any federal contracts with the law firm, and employees of the firm will lose official access to federal buildings.

The administration cited as a reason for its action that the law firm "rewarded Robert Mueller and his colleagues -- Aaron Zebley, Mueller's 'top aide' and 'closest associate,' and James Quarles -- by welcoming them to the firm after they wielded the power of the Federal Government to lead one of the most partisan investigations in American history."
