President Donald Trump declared his willingness to send American citizens to a notorious prison in El Salvador where his administration has sent alleged gang members.

The president has cut a deal with that nation's president, Nayib Bukele, to send suspect gang members who were deported from the U.S., and he told reporters Sunday evening on Air Force One that he was receptive to an invitation to send additional detainees there – including American citizens.

Newsmax host Jon Glasgow said he was shocked after the stock market's reaction to President Donald Trump's tariffs took a toll on his personal wealth.

"I looked at my 401k and gasped," Glasgow told former Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA) on Sunday. "I mean, do you think that a lot of Americans are gonna give the Trump administration this grace period here while they trust in his plan?"

Republican and Democratic pundits battled over Elon Musk's numbered days in the government during a profanity-laced panel on Fox News.

On the Sunday panel, Fox News host Mike Emanuel asked Jonathan Kott, a former adviser to one-time Democratic Senator Joe Manchin, if he would miss Musk after the billionaire DOGE administrator returns to the private sector.

The Republican Party leadership is urging Donald Trump to step in and quash a challenge to a senior GOP senator who may face a bruising primary fight for his seat.

According to a report from CNN, Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) has requested the president endorse Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) which could clear the field of challengers in what could be a costly battle for the nomination which could eat up millions of dollars that could be used elsewhere.

Noting that Donald Trump's handling of the economy is getting lower approval numbers that his already low personal numbers, an analyst for the New York Times suggested that is very bad news for the president and likely even worse news for the Republican Party.

In an analysis published on Sunday, the Time's Nate Cohn wrote that, as goes the economy, so goes the fortunes of the party in power.

Batya Ungar-Sargon, a journalist describing herself as a "MAGA lefty," told Fox News that President Donald Trump's tariffs would help bring manly jobs back to America's working class that is facing a "crisis in masculinity."

"It's not just the destruction of the economic vitality of the working class," she explained during a Sunday interview with host Rachel Campos-Duffy, "but there has been a spiritual decimation that has come along that, a crisis in masculinity because we shipped jobs that gave men who work with their hands for a living and rely on brawn and physicality off to other countries to build up their middle class."

The US attorney general said Sunday that it would be "a heavy lift" for Donald Trump to find a legal way to run for a third term as president.

"I wish we could have him for 20 years as our president," Pam Bondi told Fox News Sunday, "but I think he's going to be finished, probably, after this term."

During the panel segment of CNN's "State of the Union," Rep Hillary Scholten (R-MI) slapped aside claims by one of her Republican House colleagues about all the wonderful things Donald Trump has done since his re-election.

The conversation began when host Jake Tapper asked Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY), "Do you think that there are Trump voters who might have some regret today, given what's going on in the markets with their 401k's?"

"I think people are coming into this looking, look, the president has secured the border, border crossings are down 95 percent," she offered before breathlessly continuing. "He is deporting tens of thousands of people who have been dangerous, including murderers from New York City. He is also making sure that, look, we've seen. Mortgage rates come down, inflation has come down, egg prices have come down –– these are things you cannot ignore."

"So is there a little concern about the market? Absolutely, there is," she conceded. "I think it is a little bit of a overexaggeration by the market at this moment and I would equate it to a little turbulence as you move to smooth skies, but you've seen trillions of dollars in investment. You've seen companies saying that they're going to expand operations here and of course, a great jobs report the other day, nearly a quarter of a million new jobs."

Offered a chance to respond, Rep. Scholten, who had been smiling and shaking her head, tuned to her colleague and explained, "A jobs report that that came out before the market started crashing and Americans lost $4 trillion in savings."

"You can't ignore, you know, you're talking about giving subsidies to farmers because you know how bad this is going to be," she continued. "You know America is losing under Trump. The American people are losing under Trump."

CBS News host Margaret Brennan grilled Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick about why President Donald Trump placed tariffs on islands inhabited by penguins.

Brennan highlighted Trump's policy while speaking with Lutnick on Face the Nation on Sunday.

A combative Donald Trump Cabinet official attempted to lecture CNN's Jake Tapper about what she called "fake science" when he fact-checked her about the reasons European nations balk at some purchases from the U.S.

In a longer-than-normal interview, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins did her best to defend the president's tariff policies even when confronted with the ugly stock market collapse after Trump held his "Liberation Day" Rose Garden press conference, repeatedly assuring the "State of the Union" host that the president's economic brain trust contains the best people available.

Things grew heated after she complained about European nations refusing to buy U.S. beef and pork products due to the hormones used on the animals.

"We have watched our farmers and ranchers again, can't get our corn into Mexico, can't get our dairy into Canada, have Honduras buying more pork and poultry than the entire European Union, have a 700 percent tariff from Japan on our rice," she complained. "This is not okay and it is not sustainable. And for us to continue to build our agriculture, which is the backbone of our country, but also our manufacturing base, our energy, et cetera. for us to be able to do that, we have to put America first. "

"So those tariffs as the economy, the market begins to adjust, we will see a more positive as we move, I believe very quickly," she added.

" So just in point of fact, the reason that the European Union, even though they are our fourth biggest market for agricultural products, as you know, don't take as much American pork as you would like is because they have issues with hormones used in pork," Tapper explained.

"I don't want to get into a whole debate over that, but that's not, it's not an issue about tariffs," he continued. "But let me ask you about the computation of these tariffs because conservative economists at the American Enterprise Institute ––."

"Wait, wait, wait. Hold on, Jake," Rollins loudly interrupted. "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, this is really important. You can't just say that. So here's the bottom line: they are using fake science and unsubstantiated claims to not take our products. So it isn't just that they have high tariffs."

"Thank you for making this point for me by the way, I meant to make it. It's not just the tariff numbers, it's the way they've treated our products," she persisted. "'Oh, sorry, we can't take your beef since 2002 because you use a certain type of feed.' That's just absolute bull. It is not correct and not appropriate. Our supplies, our farmers and ranchers, we produce the safest, the most secure, the best food in the world. And so to use that for the EU to say, 'Oh, my goodness, we can't do it because of this reason,' it's absolutely wrong. And it's not based on sound science."

"Okay, well, you can take that up with the Europeans," Tapper dryly replied.

Fox News host Alexis McAdams confronted White House trade adviser Peter Navarro over a possible "rift" with billionaire DOGE administrator Elon Musk.

During an appearance on MSNBC's "The Weekend," a former Republican member of the House of Representatives jumped on Donald Trump's tariffs and the devastating effect it is having on American consumers, manufacturers and farmers.

Speaking with the hosts, ex-Rep. Denver Riggleman (R-VA) cited soybean farmers losing their livelihoods to make his case.

"The soybean market is destroyed, right?" he began. "What do we do now? Where's the money going to be for any type of subsidies for farmers? Now, how are you going to fund it? I mean, if you're defunding the IRS, how are you going to get the monies to actually come in to actually pay for all the subsidies for farmers right now?"

"There's a cascading effect of stupid and stupidity is terminal, right?" he continued. "And that's that's the issue that we have right now, is you have a terminal administration that thinks that stupidity is policy, right. and fantasy is fact. And when you have people that are like that making policy choices, we're in really big trouble."
