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.

Musk hands out $1M checks, claims 'future of civilization' is at stake

Just hours after the state Supreme Court rejected the Wisconsin attorney general’s effort to block Elon Musk from handing out $1 million checks on Sunday night, the billionaire took the stage at a town hall in Green Bay, Wisconsin, and gave away two $1 million checks to attendees in his latest effort to support conservative candidate Brad Schimel.

One of the recipients of a large, showy check, Nicholas Jacobs, is the chair of the Wisconsin College Republicans.

Musk urged the crowd to back conservative Wisconsin Supreme Court candidate Brad Schimel, casting Tuesday as “a vote for which party controls the House of Representatives” and implying “the future of civilization” is at stake.

Musk claimed that if the liberal candidate won, the court would try to redraw the congressional districts in Wisconsin in favor of Democrats, which would stymie the White House’s agenda.

“The result of that could be that the House switches to a Democratic House. Yes, indeed. And then they will try to stop all of the government reforms that we are, we're doing, and we're getting done for you, the American people," he said.

Groups affiliated with Musk have invested almost $20 million in the race supporting Republican-backed candidate Brad Schimel, according to a tally by the Brennan Center for Justice, while Musk has donated $2 million to the Republican Party of Wisconsin.

Musk also said at the event that his PAC is launching a "Block Captain" program ahead of the election on Tuesday, where participants will make $20 for each picture they post of someone with a Schimel sign and a thumbs up outside of their home.

Trump says his team is 'taking bids' for TikTok as deadline looms

As the April 5 deadline that President Donald Trump set for TikTok to find a non-Chinese buyer or face a ban in the United States nears -- the president said he has a team "essentially taking bids" for ownership of the app.

“There's tremendous interest in TikTok. The decision is going to be my decision. As you know, through Congress, they've given me the power to make the decision," Trump told reporters Sunday evening.

"We have a great team of people taking, essentially taking bids. We have a lot of people that want to buy TikTok. We're dealing with China also on it, because they may have something to do with it, and we’ll see how that goes," he added.

This comes after Trump pushed back the initial January deadline for TikTok's Chinese parent company ByteDance to sell the app.

'Psychological deadline' in place for Russia to agree to ceasefire, Trump says

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.

Trump on auto tariffs: 'Automakers are going to make a lot of money'

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.

National Security Adviser Mike Waltz deflects blame over Signal group chat

During an appearance on Fox News on Tuesday, National Security Adviser Mike Waltz seemed to accuse The Atlantic's Jeffrey Goldberg of somehow putting his contact incorrectly into Waltz's phone or getting into the Signal group chat in another way.

This comes after several top members of President Donald Trump's administration discussed a military operation in Yemen in a group chat that included Goldberg.

Waltz seemed to imply that it was an error with the contact on his phone, saying, "Have you ever had somebody's contact that shows their name and then you have and then you have somebody else's number..." he said when asked how Goldberg's contact was in his phone.

"You got somebody else's number on someone else's contact. So, of course, I didn't see this loser in the group. It looked like someone else. Now, whether he did it deliberately or it happened in some other technical mean, is something we're trying to figure out," Waltz added.

The Atlantic reported on Monday that the user was called "Michael Waltz" who invited Goldberg into the chat. Waltz insisted that he does not know or speak to Goldberg.

Waltz did concede that he did indeed put the chat together and bears responsibility for that.

"I take responsibility. I built the group. Okay, so, but look, that's the part that we have to figure out, and that's the part that was embarrassing, yes," Waltz said.
