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.

Wisconsin AG appeals to state Supreme Court to stop Musk’s giveaway

Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul on Sunday appealed to the state’s Supreme Court to block Elon Musk's and America PAC's planned Sunday night giveaway of $1 million apiece to two attendees of Musk's event in Green Bay.

"The Court should grant this Petition and issue an immediate temporary injunction that (1) prohibits Respondents from any further promotion of the million dollar gifts to attendees of the planned event on Sunday, March 30; (2) prohibits Respondents from making any payments to Wisconsin electors conditioned on voting; and (3) prohibits all actions by Respondents taken in furtherance of a planned" violation of a state law that Kaul argues Musk and America PAC are violating with the planned giveaway, Kaul wrote in one of the documents filed.

Musk announced Thursday on social media that he would "personally hand over two checks for a million dollars each" to voters who participated in the Supreme Court election. His political action committee had already awarded $1 million to Scott Ainsworth, a mechanical engineer from Green Bay, for signing its petition.

Musk deleted the post Friday and later clarified that the money would go to people who would serve as "spokesmen" for an online petition against "activist judges."

Wisconsin law makes it a felony to offer anything of value to induce a voter to cast a ballot or refrain from voting. Violators face fines up to $10,000, imprisonment up to 3 ½ years, or both.

Musk and Trump are backing conservative Waukesha County Judge Brad Schimel in the election. Schimel told WISN 12 News on Friday that he has "no plans" to attend Sunday's rally with Musk.

Democrats are backing liberal Dane County Judge Susan Crawford.

The race has already broken spending records for a judicial contest in the U.S., with funds raised exceeding $81 million. Musk has been the largest financial contributor, though billionaire George Soros and Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker have donated a combined $3.5 million to Crawford's campaign.
