West Palm Beach, Fla. – President Donald Trump Is careful with his duties to maintain the right procedural rights in the Constitution, and says in a new interview that he does not know whether American citizens and non -citizens deserve that guarantee.
He also said he doesn’t think military violence will be needed Make Canada the “51st state” and played the possibility he would look at Run for a third term In the White House.
The comments in a broad, and at times combative, interview with NBC’s “Meet the Press” came as the efforts of the Republican president to quickly perform his agenda face sharper headwind With Americans just like its second administration, the 100-day brand exceeded, according to a recent poll by The Associated Press-Norc Center for Public Affairs Research.
However, Trump made it clear that he did not withdraw from a task list of which he says the American electorate was broadly supported when she chose him in November.
Here are some highlights from the interview with NBC’s Kristen Welker who was included in his real estate in Mar-A-Lago in Florida on Friday and was broadcast on Sunday.
Trump does not connect to the right process
Critics on the left have tried to claim that Trump is leaving a considerable process in the United States. In particular, they quote the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, A Salvadoran man who lived in Maryland when he was wrongly deported to El Salvador and was imprisoned without communication.
Trump says that Abrego Garcia is part of a violent transnational gang. The Republican president has tried to make deportation in a test case for his campaign against illegal immigration, despite an order of the Supreme Court that the government must work to bring Abrego Garcia back to the US.
Asked in the interview whether American citizens and non -citizens both earn the appropriate process as laid down in the fifth amendment of the Constitution, Trump was without obligation.
“I don’t know. I am not, I am not a lawyer. I don’t know,” Trump said when he is pressed by Welker.
The fifth amendment offers ‘ownership process’, which means that a person has certain rights when it comes to a crime. The 14th amendment also says that no state “to each person within his jurisdiction can deny the equal protection of the laws.”
Trump said he “has brilliant lawyers … and they will clearly follow what the Supreme Court said.”
He said he insisted to deport “some of the worst, most dangerous people on earth,” but those courts stand in the way of him.
“I was chosen to get them away here, and the courts like to do it,” said Trump.
Military action against Canada is ‘very unlikely’
The president has repeatedly threatened that he is planning to make Canada the ’51st state’.
For his white house meeting on Tuesday with Newly chosen Canadian Prime Minister Mark CarneyTrump does not support the rhetoric that the Canadians made angry.
However, Trump said NBC that it was “very unlikely” that the US should use military force to make Canada the 51st state.
He offered less certainty about whether his repeated calls for the US to take over Greenland from NATO-Alual Denmark can be achieved without military action.
“Something could happen to Greenland,” said Trump. “I will be honest, we need that for national and international security. … I don’t see it with Canada. I just don’t see it, I have to be honest with you.”
President Bristles in recession -forecasts
Trump said that the American economy is in a “transition period”, but he expects it to “fantastic”, despite the economic unrest that is fueled by his rates.
He offered a sharp pushback when Welker remarked that some Wall Street analysts now say that the chances of recession are increasing.
“Well, you know, you say, some people say on Wall Street,” Trump said. “Well, I tell you something else. Some people on Wall Street say that we will have the greatest economy in history.”
He also put the debt for the decrease of 0.3% in the US economy in the first quarter. He said he was not responsible for it.
“I think the good parts are the Trump economy and the bad parts are the Biden economy because he has done it terribly,” referring to his democratic predecessor, Joe Biden.
Trump doubled his Recent comments During a cabinet meeting that children may need two dolls instead of 30, deny that this is a recognition that his rates will lead to delivery shortages.
“I just say they don’t have to have 30 dolls. They can have three. They don’t have to have 250 pencils. They can have five.”
Trump plays a conversation in the third term
The president has repeatedly suggested He could look for a third term In the White House, although the 22nd change to the Constitution says that “no one will be elected more than twice in the office of the president.”
Trump told NBC that there is considerable support to run for a third term.
“But this is not something I want to do,” said Trump. “I am looking for four wonderful years and it is considering someone, ideally a large republican, a large republican to continue it.”
Trump’s earlier comments about a third term sometimes seem more about provoking indignation on political links. The Trump organization even sells red caps with the words “Trump 2028.”
But at times he suggested that he looked seriously at a third term. In one At the end of March by telephone interview with NBCTrump said, “I am not joking. There are methods that you could do it.”
So JD Vance in 2028? Marco Rubio? Not so fast.
Trump said in the interview that vice president JD Vance is doing fantastic work and is ‘brilliant’. State Secretary Marco Rubio, who called Trump last week at the same time act as acting national security adviserIs “great,” the president said.
But Trump said it is “much too early” to start talking about his potential successor.
He is convinced that his movement “Make America Great Again” will flourish past his time in the White House.
“You look at Marco, you look at JD Vance, who is fantastic,” said Trump. “You look at – I could now name 10, 15, 20 people, just sit here. No, I think we have a huge party. And you know what I can’t call? I can’t call Democrat.”
Hegseeth is ‘completely safe’
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseeth has been under fire for his participation in signal text chains in which sensitive information about military planning was shared. But Trump said he doesn’t want to replace his Pentagon chef.
“No. Not even a little bit. No. Pete is great,” said Trump. The work of Hegseeth is ‘completely safe’.
The president also said that his decision to appoint the national security adviser Mike Waltz to be the American ambassador to the United Nations, was not a punishment for starting the chain to which Waltz unintentionally added a reporter.
“No. I just think he will do well in the new position,” said Trump. He said his decision to have Rubio take over from Waltz’s tasks will probably be temporary.
“Marco is very busy doing other things, so he won’t keep it in the long term. We are going to put someone else in it,” Trump said, adding that it would be possible to do both jobs for an indefinite period. “You know, there is a theory. Henry Kissinger did both. There is a theory that you don’t need two people. But I think I have some really great people who can do well.”
One person he said he is not considering the position? Top policy aid Stephen Miller.
“Well, I would like to have Stephen there, but that would be a downgrade,” he said. “In my opinion, Stephen is much higher on the totem pole than that.”
Trump insists that he does not benefit from the presidency, is planning to donate his salary again
Trump denied that he benefits from the presidency, even while he continues to promote a series of business companies, including cryptocurrency holdings.
“I don’t benefit from anything. I do the only thing that I started before the elections. I want crypto. I think crypto is important, because if we don’t do it, China goes. And it’s new, it’s very popular, it’s very hot,” Trump said, adding that he didn’t even look “.
Only a few days before attack, Trump launched his own meme coin, which rose in value after it had announced that top holders would be invited for an exclusive dinner In the golf club of the president of the president in Washington later this month and a tour of the White House. He also helped launch World Liberty Financial, another cryptocurrency company last year.
That is a supplement to a long list of other business companies, from Trump Media & Technology Group, which leads its social social site, to sneakers, watches and colognes and perfumes of the brand.
“President probably cost me money if you really look,” said Trump. “I even do something that no other president has done, they think George Washington may have done.”
He added: “I contribute my entire salary to the government, back to the government. And I do it again.”
Another extension Tiktok Deal
Trump said he is open to re -expanding the deadline for a deal on Tiktok.
“I would like to see it,” he said. “I have a small warm place in my heart for Tiktok. Tiktok is – it is very interesting, but it will be protected.
He added later: “If it needs an extension, I would be willing to give it an extension, may not be necessary.”
Last month, Trump Executive action used To let Tiktok run in the US Another 75 days To give his administration more time to close a deal to bring the social media platform under American ownership.
Civil servants of the White House had believed they were Close to a deal in which the activities of the app would have been split in a new company based in the US and is owned by and operated by a majority of American investors. But Beijing hit the brakes after Trump had hit wide rates in countries around the world.
“We actually have a deal. We have a group of buyers, very substantial people. They are going to pay a lot of money. It’s a good thing for us. It’s a good thing for China. I think it will, very well,” he said. “But because of the fact that I have now essentially cut China with the rates that are so high that they cannot do many things with the United States. But if we close a deal with China, I am sure that will be a subject, and it will be a very simple subject to resolve.”
