In a recent NBC interview, President Donald Trump expressed uncertainty about whether both American citizens and noncitizens are entitled to due process, saying he is not a lawyer. His comments came amid controversial deportation practices that have faced criticism, particularly the wrongful deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Trump also ruled out a third term in office, despite previously discussing possible methods to achieve it, acknowledging the constitutional limits on presidential terms. These statements illuminate Trump's views on immigration law and constitutional adherence.
"I don't know. I'm not, I'm not a lawyer. I don't know," Trump said. Later in the same interview, Trump also said he does not know if he must uphold the US Constitution.
Trump claimed Abrego Garcia was part of a gang without providing any evidence. The US Supreme Court ruled that the country must work to return Abrego Garcia to the US.
Despite previously suggesting he could seek reelection, saying that "there are methods" to allow this to happen, Trump ruled out running for a third term in office.
The US constitution clearly states that no person can be elected for more than two terms as US president, with changing the country's founding legal document requiring a two-thirds majority in Congress.
