• Trump questioned about his obligation to uphold the U.S. Constitution in an NBC interview.
• He denied serious consideration for a third presidential term, though he alluded to "methods."
• The former president faces backlash over his approach to undocumented migrant deportation.
• Critics and legal scholars have raised concerns about Trump's constitutional understanding.

During a recent NBC News interview, President Donald Trump stated that he is uncertain if he must uphold the U.S. Constitution. When asked directly by moderator Kristen Welker whether he believed he needed to adhere to the supreme law, he replied, "I don't know," sparking considerable debate on his understanding of constitutional obligations. Trump's acknowledgment of uncertainty regarding due process for American citizens and non-citizens further fueled discussions, with him claiming, "I'm not a lawyer. I don't know," according to Le Monde, Dawn, and Channel News Asia.

Trump also indicated he does not seriously consider the idea of running for a third term, while previously suggesting that it might be possible to do so legally. He explained, "this is not something I'm looking to do," while referencing the 22nd Amendment, which prohibits a third presidential term. Trump has previously claimed there are "methods" that could allow a third term, but acknowledged the complexities involved in changing the Constitution, which would require significant political support, according to Le Monde, Dawn, and Channel News Asia.

The interview illuminated concerns regarding Trump's policies, particularly his aggressive approach to deporting undocumented migrants, which has been criticized for bypassing due process rights. Trump defends these actions as necessary due to a "national emergency," arguing that providing court trials for all immigrants could take "300 years." This has raised alarms among legal experts, who stress the importance of constitutional protections, as noted by multiple sources including Le Monde and Channel News Asia.
