Trump says 3rd term isn't a joke, despite term limit

President Donald Trump told reporters on Sunday night that the administration was making a lot of progress between Russia and Ukraine. Asked if he believes that his relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin is at its lowest point, Trump said no.

"I don't think he's going to go back on his word. You’re talking about Putin. I don’t think he’s going to go back on his word," he said. "I’ve known him for a long time. We’ve always gotten along well despite the Russia, Russia, Russia hoax."

Trump also said he’s not happy with Putin discrediting Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, given that he’s supposed to be making a deal with him to end the Russia-Ukraine war.

"I was disappointed some of the things he said over the last day or two having to do with Zelenskyy because he considers him not credible, he’s supposed to be making a deal with him, whether you like him or you don’t like him, so I wasn’t happy with that,” Trump said.

Asked if there’s a deadline for Russia to agree to a ceasefire, Trump called it a "psychological deadline.”

"If I think they're tapping us along, I will not be happy about it," Trump said of Russia.

Speaking with reporters on Air Force One before landing in Washington, D.C., on Sunday evening, President Donald Trump addressed the sweeping auto tariffs set to take effect on April 3.

Trump continued to claim that automakers will make money despite economists saying the auto tariffs will do the opposite.

"The automakers are going to make a lot of money. American automakers or international automakers, if you're talking about them, are going to build in the United States," Trump said.

"Outside of the United States, that's going to be up to them. I don't care too much about that. But you have a lot of companies coming into the country to manufacture cars," he added.

The Wisconsin Supreme Court rejected on Sunday night Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul's lawsuit to stop Elon Musk and America PAC from executing a planned giveaway on Sunday night of $1 million each to two attendees at a town hall in Green Bay, Wisconsin.

The order came just minutes before the event -- backing conservative candidate Brad Schimel -- was set to start.

Kaul wrote in his initial filing on Friday that he was asking for emergency relief to stop Musk and America PAC “from further promoting a million-dollar giveaway to attendees of a planned event on Sunday, March 30, 2025, and prohibiting Respondents from making any payments to Wisconsin electors to vote," which he said violated state law.

Musk's lawyers framed the planned Sunday night giveaways as "spokesperson agreements" for spokespeople for the PAC.

Despite what economists have said, Trump’s tariff czar Peter Navarro continued to push that tariffs will lead to tax cuts.

“The message is that tariffs are tax cuts, tariffs are jobs, tariffs are national security, tariffs are great for America. Tariffs will make America great again,” Navarro said Sunday on “Fox News Sunday.”

Asked about Americans' concerns that the impacts of tariffs will show up in everyday costs, Navarro asserted that the tariffs would raise revenue for the U.S., and that Trump’s tax bill will provide tax benefits and tax credits to those who purchase American cars.

Diane Swonk, KPMG's chief economist, told ABC News’ “This Week” co-anchor Martha Raddatz that the president’s plan to implement 25% tariffs on auto imports would not bring down prices.

“The economics does not suggest that at all, and I'm not alone. It's the economic consensus that actually, in fact, car prices will go up, and what we tend to see is some of it will be absorbed in margins, and some of it will show up in layoffs as higher costs go up in terms of production,” Swonk said.

GOP Sen. James Lankford of Oklahoma said he’s “OK with the start of the negotiations” on tariffs.

“So, this is a negotiation with President Trump,” he told CNN’s “State of the Union.” “It's all a negotiation to see what are we going to do long-term. I feel like in some ways, in the economy, this is kind of like a kitchen remodel or a bath remodel -- there's a bit of a mess at the beginning, but everybody has a long-term look of where we're headed. It's going to be noisy for a little while, but we all know where we're headed, trying to reduce the prices for Americans and increase jobs.”
