In an exclusive NBC News interview, President Donald Trump addressed various concerns from critics, including potential recession fears, the impact of tariffs, and speculation about seeking a third presidential term. Trump downplayed worries about price increases resulting from his tariff policies, asserting that many businesses were thriving and would not require relief. He suggested that Americans could adjust to fewer consumer goods, emphasizing the importance of lower gasoline prices over other items like tires or strollers.
Trump clarified his intention to serve as a two-term president while acknowledging legal constraints against seeking a third term in 2028. He defended the expenses of a military parade in Washington, D.C., which was planned for Flag Day, coinciding with his birthday.
In a notable moment, Trump suggested that fulfilling his campaign promise of mass deportations may take precedence over immigrants’ constitutional rights to due process. When directly asked about constitutional obligations, he stated, “I don’t know. I’m not a lawyer.”
