Trump says he doesn't know if he supports proper procedural rights

West Palm Beach, Fla. (AP) – President Donald Trump is careful with regard to his duties that maintain the procedural rights specified in the constitution, and in a new interview says that he does not know whether US citizens and non -citizens also earn this guarantee.

He also said he didn't believe that military violence will be necessary Make Canada the “51st state” and played the possibility that he would look at run for a third term in the white house.

The comments in a far -reaching and combined interview with NBC's “Meet the Press” came as the efforts of the Republican President to quickly take his agenda Sharper headwind According to a recent survey by Americans, when his second government crossed the 100-day mark, he crossed the brand The Associated Press-Norc Center for Public Affairs Research.

However, Trump made it clear that he did not withdraw from a to-do list that he insists that the American electorate that chose him in November largely supports.

Here are some of the highlights from the interview with Kristen Welker from NBC, which was recorded on Friday in his property Mar-A-Lago in Florida and was broadcast on Sunday.

Trump does not commit himself to the proper process

Critics on the left have tried to do the case that Trump breaks away to a proper procedure in the United States. Above all, quote the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, A Salvadoranian man who lived in Maryland when he incorrectly deported to El Salvador and was locked up without communication.

Trump says Abrego Garcia is part of a violent transnational gang. The Republican President tried to transform the deportation into a test case for his campaign against illegal immigration

In the interview, whether US citizens and non -citizens earn both in the fifth amendment to the constitution, Trump was non -binding.

“I don't know. I'm not, I'm not a lawyer. I don't know,” said Trump when he was pressed by Welker.

The fifth change offers “proper legal proceedings”, which means that a person has certain rights when it comes to being prosecuted because of crime. In addition, the 14th amendment claims that no state can “refuse a person within their responsibility the same protection of the laws”.

Trump said that he “had brilliant lawyers … and they obviously follow what the Supreme Court said.”

He said that he had pushed “to deport some of the worst and most dangerous people in the world”, but these dishes are in his way.

“I was chosen to get them out of hell and the dishes stop me from it,” said Trump.

Military measures against Canada are “extremely unlikely”

The president has repeatedly threatened to make Canada the “51st state”.

Before he meet the White House On Tuesday with newly elected Canadian Prime Minister Mark CarneyTrump is not leaving the rhetoric that the Canadian has annoyed.

However, Trump said NBC that it was “highly unlikely” that the United States would have to apply military violence to make Canada the 51st state.

He offered less certainty whether his repeated demands for the United States to take over Greenland from NATO Denmark without being achieved without military measures.

“Something could happen with 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 Börsten in recession forecasts

Trump said the US economy was in a “transition period”, but he expects to “fantastic” despite the economic turbulence triggered by his tariffs.

He offered a sharp setback when Welker found that some Wall Street analysts now say that the chances of a recession increase.

“Well, you know, some people say on Wall Street,” said Trump. “Well, I'll tell you something. Some people on Wall Street say that we will have the largest economy in history.”

He also spent the blame for the decline in the US economy by 0.3% 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 bidding economy because he has done terrible work,” refers to his democratic predecessor Joe Biden.

Trump doubled to his Newer comments At a cabinet meeting that children may have to have two dolls instead of 30, this will deny that this is recognition that leads to a lack of care.

“I just say that you don't have to have 30 dolls. You can have three. You don't have to have 250 pens. You can have five.”

Trump plays the third talks

The president repeatedly proposed He was able to search for a third term in the White House, although the 22nd amendment to the constitution says that “nobody is elected more than twice to the office of president.”

Trump said NBC that he gave considerable support for a third term.

“But that's nothing I want to do,” said Trump. “I want to have four great years and hand it over to someone, ideally a great Republican, a great Republican who makes it forward.”

Trump's earlier comments on a third term sometimes seem to be more to provoke outrage over the political left. The Trump organization even sells Red Caps with the words “Trump 2028”.

But in moments he proposed that he was seriously looking at a third term. In A Telephone interview with NBC on March lateTrump said, “I'm not joking. There are methods that you could do.”

So JD Vance in 2028? Marco Rubio? Not so fast.

Trump said in the interview that Vice President JD Vance did a “fantastic job” and is “brilliant”. Foreign Minister Marco Rubio, to whom Trump commissioned last week at the same time serve as a reigning national security advisoris “great,” said the president.

But Trump said that it was “far too early” to talk about his potential successor.

He is confident that his movement “Make America Great Again” will flourish beyond 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 call 10, 15, 20 people at the moment, just sit here. No, I think we have an enormous party. And you know what I can't call? I can't call a democrat.”

Hegseth is “completely safe”

Defense Minister Pete Hegseth was taken under fire because of his participation in several signal text chains, in which confidential information about military planning was shared. But Trump said he didn't want to replace his Pentagon boss.

“No. Not even a little. No. Pete will be great,” said Trump. Hegseth's job is “completely safe”.

The president also said his decision to appoint the national security advisor Mike Waltz as US ambassador to the United Nations was not a punishment for starting one of the signal text chains, to which Waltz accidentally added a reporter.

“No. I just think that he will do a good job in the new position,” said Trump. He said his decision to take over Rubio would probably be temporary.

“Marco is very busy doing other things, so he won't keep it in the long term. We will use someone,” said Trump, adding that it would still be possible to do both jobs indefinitely. “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 could do a good job.”

A person he said he doesn't think for the post office? Top Policy Aide 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 dead recommendation than that.”
