President Donald Trump on Sunday that he doesn’t know if he is supposed to uphold the Constitution and relies on his lawyers to follow the law.
“I don’t know. I have to respond by saying, again, I have brilliant lawyers that work for me, and they are going to obviously follow what the Supreme Court said,” Trump told NBC in an interview that aired Sunday on “Meet the Press.”
Trump also said that he wouldn’t seek a third term as president, though he has teased the possibility several times, and that he wouldn’t fire Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell before his term ends in 2026.

Trump says judges he appoints won’t demand deportation ‘trials’
President Donald Trump addressed judicial nominations while speaking with reporters aboard Air Force One on Sunday evening, saying, “Well, we’re putting them in rapidly. We’re trying to get very good ones.”
“We need judges that are not going to be demanding trials for every single illegal immigrant. We have millions of people that have come in here illegally, and we can’t have a trial for every single person. That would be millions of trials,” the president said of the administration’s sweeping deportations.

Trump said his overhaul of U.S. immigration policies was “the No. 1 issue” he campaigned on, claiming “radicalized” judges are delaying that process.
“So, they come into our country illegally, and then we’re supposed to take weeks, I guess, and months to have a trial on every criminal that we have, murderers all over the country. I don’t think the Supreme Court will stand for that. I can’t believe it, because, you know what, if they do, we’re not going to have a country,” Trump claimed.
