Trump calls for famed Alcatraz prison to be reopened, expanded

Though he has teased seeking a third term in 2028 despite the Constitution barring it, Trump on Sunday ruled out another run, saying his current four-year term will be his last.

“But this is not something I'm looking to do. I'm looking to have four great years and turn it over to somebody, ideally a great Republican, a great Republican, to carry it forward. But I think we're going to have four years, and I think four years is plenty of time to do something really spectacular,” Trump told NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

“I just want to serve, do a great job,” he later added. “I’ll be an eight-year president. I’ll be a two-term president. I always thought that was important to be honest with you.”

The president pointed to Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State and interim national security adviser Marco Rubio as possible successors, and said, when asked, that he believes his MAGA movement can survive without him.

In an interview that aired Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Trump said he was not defying the Supreme Court by not facilitating the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the Maryland resident who was mistakenly deported to an El Salvador prison.

Last week, Trump told ABC News that he “could” order Abrego Garcia’s return, but in the NBC interview, Trump said he was relying on the attorney general to determine whether he could.

“No, I'm relying on the attorney general of the United States, Pam Bondi, who’s very capable, doing a great job, because I'm not involved in the legality or the illegality,” he said.

Pressed by NBC’s Kristen Welker, Trump said he could ask El Salvador to return Abrego Garcia, but that it’s ultimately President Nayib Bukele’s decision.

“Well, I have the power to ask for him to come back if I'm instructed by the attorney general that it’s legal to do so,” he said. “But the decision as to whether or not he should come back, will be the head of El Salvador, he’s a very capable man.”

Asked if he agreed with Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who said citizens and non-citizens in the U.S. deserve due process, Trump replied, I don't know. I'm not a lawyer. I don't know."

Asked if he was bound to uphold the Constitution, Trump said, "I don't know. I have to respond by saying, again, I have brilliant lawyers that work for me, and they are going to obviously follow what the Supreme Court said."

A day after President Donald Trump announced he was renaming Nov. 11 -- the date that Veterans Day is observed -- as "Victory Day for World War I," the White House is now saying it will be an additional proclamation and not a full replacement.

"We are not renaming Veteran's Day," White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told ABC News. "It will just be an additional proclamation that goes out on that day."

In his social media post on Thursday, Trump also said he intended to designate May 8 as "Victory Day for World War II."

Establishing a federal holiday or a patriotic or national observance requires the passage of a law, according to the Congressional Research Service.

The Trump administration filed a new emergency request with the Supreme Court on Friday seeking to lift a lower court block of its efforts to overhaul the federal government.

The administration argued that a judicial order blocking DOGE from accessing sensitive data inside the Social Security Administration is an illegal infringement on core executive branch power to conduct day-to-day business of the government.

It also argued the federal employee union that brought the challenge lacks standing because it is unable to show any concrete injury.

"The district court is forcing the Executive Branch to stop employees charged with modernizing government information systems from accessing the data in those systems because, in the court's judgment, those employees do not 'need' such access," Solicitor General John Sauer wrote.
