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.

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.

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.

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and CIA Director John Ratcliffe repeatedly said during Tuesday's hearing that the chat did not contain classified information.

"So the attack sequencing and timing and weapons and targets, you don't consider should have been classified?" King asked Gabbard.

"I defer to the secretary of defense and the National Security Council on that question," she responded.
