In an exclusive interview with NBC News’ Kristen Welker, President Donald Trump downplayed various concerns raised by critics regarding a potential recession, the economic impact of his tariffs, and speculation about a constitutionally prohibited third presidential term. Despite a slight decline in his approval ratings amid numerous executive actions, Trump dismissed worries about rising prices affecting small businesses. He claimed that many businesses are thriving and suggested that Americans could adapt to shortages of certain goods like dolls and pencils. When discussing increasing prices for items such as tires and strollers, Trump redirected the focus to gasoline prices, which he deemed far more significant.
The President clarified his intention to serve two terms but acknowledged that he would not pursue the presidency in 2028. He also defended the significant expenditure on a military parade in Washington, D.C., planned for Flag Day, coinciding with his birthday. In a somewhat controversial remark, Trump appeared to prioritize fulfilling his ambitious deportation promises over adhering to the due process rights of immigrants, expressing uncertainty about constitutional obligations.
